    I've never built an Ikea kitchen (best left to the experts IMHO) but never had any problem with any of the tables, bookcases and stuff people have given me the job of assembling.

    Sometimes the instructions are a bit cryptic, but slow and easy does it. I especially like that some of their stuff uses solid timber instead of plastic veneered cardboard like most of the other local kit furniture hawkers (are you listening Freedom furniture?..) It's plantation birch or something like that, but I'm most unlikely to walk out with anything that isn't solid. I must be woodist

    Given the nature of this forum, I would think that if you know the solution to this problem then you might choose to be helpful.

    Default Ikea website solution - depends on your country

    http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_CA/complet...llation_1.html

    Hi guys, I'm in Scotland and have just bought the Pax bedroom range including some carcasses that double up as either chest of drawers or wall mounted overbed cupboards - same problem - how on earth do you hang onto plasterboard. (And our wall is a double thickness plasterboard - its the dividing wall between our neighbours!) Ikea website and customer care is less than helpful!

    However, thanks to Google, I have found the solution on the Ikea Canada website - click on the link above. Presumably an Ikea wall cupboard in kitchen is hung the same way as in the bedroom?

    Now, next challenge - translate "suspension rail" into Ikea-speak and find out if they stock it in the UK?

    PS Seems like IKEA cannot agree themselves - depends on which country you live in is seems:

    For the UK, USA, Australia, there is a different suggested method - click here http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_GB/complet...llation_1.html

    Welcome casman to the forum.

    You have replied to thread which was posted nearly nine months ago
    Perhaps you might get a higher response if you were to start a new thread.

    Hey woody,

    Can you let us know who wins the world cup next time you come back in that time machine?

    The original thread is getting a bit old, but it isn't even a year yet
