IKEA tips corner

[ciphergoth]

Top tip: the middle hinges on the mirror doors in an IKEA Pax wardrobe are on different heights on either side. Make sure you take that into account when carefully measuring how much you can fit under them.

Thankfully only two more sets of rails to unscrew and screw in one step lower.

I am so hungry - food cooking now.

Is it just me or s that a really stupid piece of design?

Have nice fud - I find it an essential furniture assembling tool...

Middle hinges aren't really in the middle: they take into account perspective (you almost always look at doors from above half way up), to make them look like they're half way up.

It sounds like IKEA have cut down on the costs of making a left door and a right door by just making one kind door and turning it upside down on one side. Or that there are different left and right doors, but they're mixed together, or something.

Not then making the hinge half-way up is definitely dim.

I think there's an odd number of holes up the door, so the hinges (which span two holes) can't go quite in the middle. So they're offset by a half step, and because the same door is used on both sides the offset is in a different direction on each side.

Still, aargh!

Perhaps it's a Faux Pax?

Maybe you were given two left doors? We installed an IKEA wardrobe recently and one of the packs we were delivered had two bottom drawers instead of one top and one bottom drawer.
