Ikea Metod Kitchenpanels cut to size?
I have an older kitchen in which the doors are looking bad but the cabinet is in very good shape. I thought to replace just the panels/doors instead of redo the whole kitchen. Did somebody cut the metod panels to size? What are they made of? Can the cutted side easily be painted?

Stripping paint of ikea desk
Found myself a Linnmon Corner Desk that the previous owner painted over with what appears to be wall paint. Its chipping pretty bad, theres a few holes in it, and there's some yellowing going on.
So what I want to do is fill the holes, get the bad paint job off, and the repaint it.
Ive been doing research about it and here's what I got so far.
Strip the paint somehow.
Use wood filler for the damage.
Sand it.
Use shellac based primer.
Paint with preferred color and type of paint.
I need advice on how to strip it. Should I even bother?
What kind of paint should I use?

Pax for small walk in closet, with window placement
Hello! So I would like to install the PAX system in my daughter’s closet. However I cannot figure out how to NOT block that window, or build around it. I thought about cutting part of the board out, but that may look crazy. I do not want to build below it because I wanted to maximize space.
Also I was looking into getting the corner ikea PAX wardrobe, but it makes more sense to get three wardrobes and put them together to maximize space.
I plan on making it look built in as well. Thank you.

Window Seat safety
I keep seeing hacks where people turn consoles and bookcases into window seats and benches. The products as used normally only have capacity for like 40 lbs. My question is, does adding an under frame make these secure or are all of these DIYers taking massive safety risks?

Komplement Question
So i have a spare shelf from constructing my Ikea Pax and decided i wanted a pullout surface to do some work on like glueing and cutting since i have power run though it. As i already have a shelf i though maybe i could just buy the pullout brackets but it doesn't look like it and i don't want to buy the whole thing when i basically have the half of it (a little cutting required though i don't mind) so if i want to do this what pull out brackets would work best since Pax have specific hole spacing?

Backless Storklinta?
I have a large AC 9V plug that is to go behind my Storklinta dresser. It sticks out quite a lot, and make the dresser stick out. Have any of you removed or modified the back of a storklinta or any Ikea dresser to remedy this or something similar? Would it even work?

Can I fit a nordli bed frame and a regular car if I went to pick it up from Ikea? Will it fit in a SUV? Also how heavy is it to carry it in a box? I know it comes in a couple boxes.
I'm not sure how heavy it is in a box and I'm not sure how it will fit in a regular car or would it fit in a suv?

Ikea Kaffee
Was ist bei Ikea los? Der Kaffee bei Ikea war bis vor ein paar Monaten gut und günstig. Anfang des Jahres muss es sich bei dem Kaffee um Abfällen von der Pax Produktion handeln. Ich bin im höchsten Maße besorgt, dass ich vom Konsum des preiserhöhten Kaffee schaden nehme.

How would you install AURDAL when one of the walls is at a 45 degree angle?

This photo shows the layout. I want to DIY a closet in a secondary bedroom, and AURDAL seems like a great option. The only part I'm not sure about is how to attach the rod to that angled wall on the right.
Does that long wall-mount plate come off from the rod? Can I use something like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C3Z285ZF/ref=ox\_sc\_act\_image\_1?smid=A249NIEGQOAWEI&th=1

Trofast or Kallax for toy storage?
Trofast looks better in my opinion and I like the idea of the plastic boxes sliding in and out easy so my daughter can easily get toys out.
I seen a video online and someone has used a Kallax unit and used Trofast bins. Wondering if anyone else has done this?
I'm not keen on the Kallax fabric boxes, they look a bit flimsy for a 5 year old

Recommendations for cabinets
My wife would like to replace our non-utilized island countertop seating with cabinets for crockpot and other cookware. With limited space, I have no idea how or what to begin with.
Dimensions are 19” depth, 68.5” wide 33” tall to fit under countertop between two vertical beams.
Flooring is currently removed, hoping that makes this easier. Thanks for recommendations in advance!

A work desk made from a kitchen countertop.
I'm thinking of getting a kitchen countertop (1.8m) and separate legs to build a cheap but sturdy desk. Has anyone tried this? I really like the look of the kitchen countertop and its spaciousness.

Doors for Pax 29in wide frame
I would like to use the white grimo doors but there isn’t an option that fits the 29in frame. Are there any other options or solutions to use the grimo doors without having to use a 9inch wide mirror for a portion of the wardrobe?

Enhet custom doors?
It seems there are endless customised options for Metod doors, but has anyone ever seen any for Enhet? The three door options are so boring, but I cannot seem to find any alternatives bc of the size difference between Metod and Enhet doors. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Vintage Ikea Shelving Help
Hello! I recently purchased a vintage modular IKEA shelving unit secondhand. It came with a full set of vertical columns and some shelves. I actually have an extra set of columns, but no more of the original shelves.
The columns have pre-drilled holes for hardware, and the original shelves have custom inserts that slot into those holes — kind of like a peg or dowel system, but proprietary to this unit. I’ve attached some pictures since it's a bit tricky to describe.
What I’m trying to figure out is:
Is there any alternative hardware I can use to make custom shelves fit into these columns? I’m fine with cutting new wooden shelves to size — the only thing I’m missing is a way to securely attach them to the frame. I would also like to add shelves above the desk in order to add more support.
Has anyone dealt with this kind of setup or found compatible hardware solutions?

sit/stand desk with LAGKAPTEN
Hi everyone,
I am currently a proud owner of a LAGKAPTEN 160x80 Table top. : https://www.ikea.com/ch/en/p/lagkapten-table-top-white-stained-oak-effect-60508232/
I would like to upgrade to a sit/stand desk (preferably electric, but manual would also be OK). I saw on IKEA that they have the TROTTEN thingy: https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/trotten-underframe-sit-stand-f-tabletop-white-40507342/
but I am really not sure if the frame is big enough, or even compatible at all with my current Tabletop. And I am also worry about the weight, because LAGKAPTEN are pretty heavy, and I have multi monitor and all my stuff on the desk too.
Do you have any idea if the TROTTEN frame would work? Or if you have any other suggestions?
