6 Drawer Chest Circa 1997+?

Need help identifying this 6 drawer chest. I got one in sometime during the late 90's and need to find replacement drawer slides. My local store asked me to identify the product name before they could help me even though I brought in the broken slides as a sample.

Can anyone provide a copy of a catalogue page showing this line of bedroom furniture?

Thanks to all for your help.

It's part of the KURS bedroom series. It's the precursor to today's MALM series.

That said, about 3 years ago they redesigned many of the dresser drawers sides and slides used in a wide variety of dressers, so the slides you get today might not work with your's.

Welcome to IKEAFANS, aaax3 (that's 9 a's altogether, right?).

Narf is correct on all counts here.

Your best bet here is to take both a drawer and an entire slide with you to the store, and make sure what they have for you matches what you need.

You might also want to pick up a couple of extras, so as to avoid the problem further down the road.

Actually, yes. I have 3 young children who's initials are AAA...therefore, that makes 9 "A"'s.

Thanks Narf and Chuck. Now that you mention it, I vaguely recall the Kurs product line.

I will try calling ahead to the store as well as taking the slides and a drawer.

Thanks again.

Calling ahead most likely won't work, as the calls to the local stores are usually routed to a call center. Just plan on heading to your local store; hopefully you get a different CS this time that will take the time to find the replacements.

Question Re: 6 Drawer Chest Circa 1997+?

Hi, I was wondering whether you had any luck getting parts? I have a 6-drawer horizontal style dresser that I bought in 2002 and several of the slides and bottoms are giving out. I've glued and duct-taped, but it's a losing battle. I was wondering whether the malm drawers would fit in the kurs frame? thanks
