Question Wooden pegs

I'm just wondering what we should do about the missing peg in one of the cabinet packages. Could we go with out it or should I call Ikea and ask them to send me out one.

Thanks,
Chrissy

You might also be able to find them at your local hardware store or cut a piece of the right size dowel to fit. Just in case you're in the middle of install and can't wait for Dulci's great offer through the mail

If we were to go without using that one peg, what could happen?

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks so much,
Chrissy

p.s. Thanks for the awesome tips and generosity.

truly depends on what size cabinet we're talking about, i suppose if you were leaving out one of the four on a side of a 12 or 15 base it wouldn't be as bad as a 36". but the cabinets are engineered for a reason. if you absolutely need it today i'd urge you to go to your hardware or craft store and get the dowel, they're cheap...
