Assembly IKEA Aurdal Wardrobe Combination Sanity Check

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Bought this exact floor-model combination. The IKEA wardrobe planner helped me select it and printed off the floor model combo. The tag/order lists 3 shelves, but while building it I realized that it must need at least 4 shelves to stabilize it (top and bottom - maybe 2 more for the dresser part?).

I went back to IKEA and they told me the order is accurate and wouldn’t give me anymore shelves even when I showed them the photo of the display. Somehow they convinced me that x3 was correct and I was mistaken.

Am I not understanding geometry or is the combination parts list just wrong? If the floor model combination is wrong, are they going to charge me for the additional pieces?

The bucket seems pretty waterproof to me, but the site description says:

> Can be used in areas with high humidity such as bathrooms and balconies, but should not be directly exposed to water from, for example, a shower or rain.

Some pics of the silver side table for anyone who was curious. Picked it up today and I’m really liking it, it’s hefty and a perfect size for me.

Just a heads-up, it’s not as chromey as the product photos make it look, in person it has more of a shiny steel finish.

General What would you pick according to my case?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have tested at the store the IKEA JÄRVFJÄLLET and MATCHSPEL. The JÄRVFJÄLLET feels like my shoulders are about to pop out the chair because they are too wide while for the MATCHSPEL the space btw my knees and chair is very small like one finger. I can only buy IKEA stuff because I don't have 300/500 euros to drop. What's better for my health overall ?

General Mattress size question

1 Upvotes

I measured my bedframe dimensions, the space where the mattress fits and got 48inch (122cm) width x 76 inch (193cm) length.

Will the 120 x 190cm mattress be suitable?

So ‘Dark Matter’ is set in some distant future space age. I’m guessing that either my lamp has a VERY long warranty, or IKEA plans to still be around selling homewares on alien planets.

General Protecting the Olserod table from damage?

1 Upvotes

The Olserod side table is just paper foil on particle board. The paper gets damaged extremely easily, which ruins the entire thing.

Does anyone have advice on how to prevent this? Would some kind of varnish work?

Hi guys! I’m planning to buy a standing/ desk skådis for my working table. I don’t want to drill on the wall so I probably would opt for the desk skådis. How did you design yours? Thinking of just putting a calendar, maybe picture frame/or just printed photos, maybe a shelf for my coasters and few magnet hooks for small dangling stuff. Looking for minimalist inspo! 😊

I really want to get the basingen two step. Online it says it's available for delivery and in stock in store but when I go to add it to my basket it's says it fails. When I search for it on the app it doesn't appear but does when searched on Google and takes me straight to the page on the app. Is it worth going into the store? Will it actually be there? Why might this be happening?

Name it! bookcase help

I bought what I thought/remembered was an ikea billy bookcase on facebook marketplace. This was about 2020-ish. I’m trying to find a matching one, but the new billy bookcase’s measurements are not the same. This bookcase is 76.75” x 24” x 15.5”. I can’t find anything online about the measurements changing or there being an older version vs a newer version. Could it be a different ikea bookcase? Could anyone identify it? Has anyone else noticed a measurement discrepancy?
