I have a fantastic Ikea Sten shelving system for sale listed on Ebay which finishes on Sunday 12th September 2010. As you know, it is far superior and more sturdy than the current Gorm shelving unit. It comprises of a large single unit with 3 large rectangular shelves and a large corner unit with 8 corner shelves. It also has a large crate on castors. View pictures and details on ebay listed under: Ikea Sten Shelving System. I worked out that the cost of the wood alone to build this would be over £150.00, I bought it for approx £280.00 new from Ikea and it has a starting bid of £30.00 so must be worth having a look at! Happy bidding!!:)

Dear Ikeafans

Is there anybody who is able to identify an IKEA item just by the numerical code written on the attached sticker?

Hi, I just picked up a used Tromsa bed off of craigslist and it came with NO hardware. I need the following pieces:

27x 111073
8x 100408
2x 101083
2x 107489
1x 110327
20x 106968
8x 106985
8x 111030
2x 100673
2x 110328
4x 106850
6x 106851

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get them without going to Ikea? Anyone have some extra screws???

What happened to the base with Casters? Is it gone for good. I thought those units were fabulous.

I'm moving soon and for the past few months I've been modeling my plans for my bedroom in Google Sketchup. I've come down to the final few decisions and there's one I need help on. (If you're wondering hwy I've placed this topic in the "Workspaces" forum, even though it's my bedroom / entertainment center, it also has a workspace so that's the closest forum I could find.)

Here are the pictures:

Alright, so to start off the desk in the corner will be custom made. It is not made yet so if I will be adding legs to the rest I could still have it made taller. Yes, it's also based off the Galant desks. There are 2 Expedit units here: a 1x5 and a 2x4. the 1x5 is horizontal, and will be using the desk / 2x4 unit as sides instead of the included ones. The far left of the 2x4 has a thinner 1x4 unit that will be custom made and will be using the 2x4 unit as 1 side. Please keep this in mind.

So, which would look better; with or without legs? If with legs, which legs and where should I place them? Keep in mind the above, so that the units without sides are well supported.

Thanks!

Can anyone help me to figure out what size holes are pre-drilled into the Vika tabletops? I'm using some Vika legs on another piece of wood and want to find out what drill bit size to use for the screws that come with the legs.

Thanks!

Anyone else finding that the Expedit Desk Top Combo in Black/Brown scratchches unbelievably easily? (I have had it for 2 days! - and have been cautious but I expect it to take some wear!) - I am really disappointed. I called Ikea and they said they had no other complaints regarding this and perhaps it was just a faulty coating on my particular desk - trying to figure out my options - can't imagine what my desk will look like in a month!!!!

Help! Need the 50" Besta glass doors (14 of them) that were phased out in the high gloss white.

Does anyone know how to get some or is there a substitute door that will fit the Besta bookcase???

Thanks

Hey guys.

I'm looking to buy a new desk for my bedroom that can hold all of my gaming equipment, and so far the Matteus Desk seems to be the best contender, however I still have a few questions about the desk.

Firstly, does anyone know if an Xbox 360 and a PS3 can fit on the shelves on the right hand of the desk? The Xbox 360's width is 31cm, and the PS3 is 29cm. If anyone knows of any online documents that clearly details the desk's individual component sizes, that would also be very helpful!

Secondly, does anyone know if you can change the sides which these shelves are attached? i.e Can you have The two shelves on the left hand side of the desk as opposed to the right?

Any help is greatly appreciated, cheers peeps!

I just purchased a Vika Blecket table yesterday and I love it! I'll be using it for watercolor painting so the surface will be wet at times. Does anyone know what kind of surface it is and if moisture would damage the table-top?

Just thought I would share my workstation that uses all pieces of furniture from IKEA. Turned out pretty good I thought! Wish I would have had a before and after shot would have made it looked a little better. Whole project from once I started to build the furniture from the time I finished was roughly 5 hours. My previous workstation was pretty pathetic.
