My request and requirement is very simple. The Ansluta power cord is 79 inches in length. I need approximately 100 inches of cord. If I had a coupler or extension cord I could string two of them together. IKEA does not appear to have such devices. I could spend a lot of money attaching unneeded and unwanted other devices in between the two cords, but that is a total waste. Another solution, but a risky one, is to cut both cables and physically attach the wires wrapping them in electrical tape, but that is a possible fire hazard. I would not mind contacting the supplier to IKEA to order what I need, but all I have at this point is that it is vendor # 21334 and IKEA's item number is 601.199.25 and a brief search on the Internet doesn't cough up who the supplier is. I suppose I could read tghe bar code and fish out the supplier but that may be a false lead anyway. Any workable and reasonably priced suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Any suggestions for paint to use to repaint a holliviken cabinet? I've noticed that they don't seem to hold up too well in the store, but it's in my price range, and I like the style. Would regular alkyd trim paint work in a gloss finish? Other suggestions? Thank you!

Does anyone know the actual dimensions for a 30" high kitchen corner wall cabinet door? The width in particular. I have cut down the overheight of a 30" corner wall cabinet to 17-3/4" (size of a 18" high cabinet) and thought a 18"x18" door would fit in the opening to find the door is too wide. I found the door is supposed to be 17" wide as described in the brochure, but can not find anywhere the actual width of door. I can take the 18"x18" I already have and cut down the width to make it fit the opening. Please help.... TIA.

Does any one have any experience in antiquing Applad style kitchen cabinets. I want very light cabinets but bright white is a little too stark. Any hints?

I love the look of the LACK floating shelves, and the price is right for my budget too, but my problem is the limited options for length. You can purchase 12", 42" and 74" lengths.
I need 2 shelves, one 15" and one 40" max. (they could be shorter)
So I'm wondering if I bought the 74", and cut it to the sizes of the shelves I need, will that work? I should mention, I would be placing them in a corner so both of the cut edges would butt up against the wall.
They won't be used for anything heavy, just decorative items, picture frames, vase etc.
What do you all think?
I'm just not sure about the mounting system?

If it's not do-able to cut them, then I would like to see Ikea offer a more average size in length like 30" or 36" for eg. The range between a 12" and next size up, 42" is way too broad, in my opinion.:rolleyes:

Do you think this sink can be installed with dishwashers under the drainboards on both sides? the sink is 20 inches wide and the entire thing measures 72x25 inches. I thought the sink could fit into a 24 inch cabinet but then how would the drainboards be supported? The counter on both sides would be solid stone of some sort.

(this is a craigslist find, I am considering it)

Hi

does anyone know if it's possible to make the godmorgon single drawer vanity a free floating one that mounted on the wall - no legs??

Has anyone done this with the Godmorgon vanities??

also i'm trying to find a non IKEA sink to go with it. Has anyone tried to get a 40" sink for this? (modern rectangular one)

Can this be done. Can I take a 24" base cabinet with a top drawer and keep the bottom part open (no doors) to use just for shelves. What would I have to do to finish it off.

Has anyone successfully painted either the cabinet box itself and/or the doors. Adel white in particular.

I like the adel door style, but I also want some open shelving and I'm afraid I won't be able to live with the difference in the whites.

Hi there,
Hoping someone can help with this. I got a great deal on GE Monogram under counter refrigerator drawers on Craislist but they require custom panels. I am using Abstrakt White in my kitchen and am wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to create panels for the two drawers.

Here's a link: ZIDI240WII - GE Monogram® Double-Drawer Refrigerator Module - Parts And Related Products - The GE Monogram Collection

1/4" Backer 23-3/16" 14-11/16"

0.10" Spacer 22-1/2" 14-3/16"

If it sounds like I don't know what this means, it is because I don't. I am just really excited that my kids will be able to reach for the milk they are always asking me for.

Any help appreciated.

Hi, I purchased a wall mount for my 32" westinghouse lcd tv, and wanted to know if I need to do anything special like replace the screws with nuts and bolts to mount it on my Ikea Benno? I don't know anything at all about hardware, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Amazon.com: Peerless PA740 Articulating Wall Mount for 22" to 40" Displays (Black): Electronics

I know there are many fans of the Lee Valley blind corner unit here. We're looking to put one in a 36" base with a top drawer, but then I saw a video on youtube and it sounded like it was difficult to push back in. For those who have it, what's been your experience in this regard?

I'm not too picky--I'm generally not a fan of all of the fancy hardware like the soft close features and ultra smooth glides. But I don't necessarily want something that makes a lot of scraping noise and is difficult to push and pull, either...

I've seen DulcineaK's modification of a 24" sink base so that there are two shallow drawers on the bottom. It looks relatively easy, but I'm curious to know if anybody has ever used the 24" oven base cabinet that has a shallow drawer at the bottom for a sink base instead?

I recently purchased an Ektorp sofabed and a slipcover. However, the slip cover seems too long and drags on the floor. Is it possible to raise the Ektorp sofabed on risers (like bun feet) or would this mess up the angle of the sofa bed?

I have seen other Ikea sofas with feet on them, but this one doesn't have any feet. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
