LACKing coat hooks? BJARNUM hooks to the rescue!

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 by Tigratrus

[nggallery id=17]bnj999 wanted to add some coat hooks to the LACK shelf just inside the door, but had some concerns about where and how to attach the screws.  That’s actually a really good thing to consider because the LACK is mostly hollow with a paper honeycomb structure.  

After some discussion in the forum the hooks were screwed into the mounting positions in the corners where casters would be attached.  Ended up being a really quick and clean project with a great looking end result.  I love the sleek silver look of the folding BJARNUM Hinges against the dark LACK.  Just don’t hang anything  heavy on those hooks without attaching the shelf to the wall :-).  Thanks to bnj999 for sharing!

Quality Issue with Adel Medium Brown Doors made in China

Monday, April 27th, 2009 by Tigratrus

Quality Issue Affects Adel Medium Brown Doors Made in China 

As noted in this thread in the IKEA Fans Kitchen forums:  Adel Medium Brown doors don’t match, there appears to be a quality issue with Adel Medium Brown doors manufactured in China, by supplier number 20995.  Adel Medium Brown doors made in Hungary don’t appear to be affected.  The following problems with Adel Medium Brown doors  (also known as AMB doors around these parts) made by a Chinese supplier have been identified:

  • the finish was very slick with a bright sheen
  • the color was pinkish (more like beech)
  • there was absolutely no grain evident in any of them

    • This issue was first noticed and reported at the IKEA store in Hicksville, NY.  Please check your orders before leaving the store, if at all possible and report any problems with the finish on AMB to the store manager immediately! 

    Discuss problems with quality affecting Adel Medium Brown IKEA doors in the forums.
