New member here from Canada living in France. MyDH does amazing custom things with IKEA pax and the kitchen stuff too, so hopefully he can participate later on.

This site is great. I found you guys on google and have a couple quick questions.

Wehave aroom with an existing IKEA kitchen with an emsen sink but it moves all over the place. At my IKEA, near the Paris airport, they ordered a set of attachment parts which were sent directly to our place free of charge but there are no instructions and I can't figure out how to put them on. Any idea where I can find the them on line or does anyone have any tips?

We are also planning an office and a bathroom. I noticed on the IKEA home planner software that there is/was/will be a faktum lower cupboard that comes with a pullout ironing board but here in Paris they don't know anything about it. Any details out there? It would be dream come true for me.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome! Glad you're here.


I think the Emsen is a drop in sink, in which case what they sent you are probably sink clips. They attach the sink underneath the countertop, into a channel. If you google "sink clips" you'll probably find a step by step guide with pictures on some plumbing site.

edited to add: The ironing board folds out of a drawer in the 18 inch cabinet. It's tiny, not very sturdy, but adequate for touch up ironing.

frenchie -- Welcome! I think you're the 3rd person (that I know of) registerd in France, near Paris, no less!

Here's a picture of the ironing board and the cabinet:

Max. length 36 3/8 "

That should help them locate it, but no promises that its available there. We don't get alot of stuff in North American that you guys have over there, but I don't know if it goes both ways...:?.
