In IKEA US website, the dimensions of the [VRENA countertop](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/vrena-countertop-oak-veneer-30437156/) are specified as 2.8cm×188cm×65cm whereas on the IKEA Israel website the dimensions are 2.8cm×186cm×63.5cm. That is, same thickness but a slightly difference in the width and length. Is it really the situation or is it a "typo" made by the website team? Has anyone experienced a similar incompatibility between IKEA stores in different continents?

*A little late this month. Family travel and whatnot.* Hey electrons, **Here are all (\*) of the new US and Canadian CCS (Level 3 fast-charging) stations that rolled out in December 2025,** according to the US Department of Energy. You can [get the data yourself here](https://afdc.energy.gov/data_download). These chargers are suitable for most new EVs on the market, except for: 1. Tesla drivers who haven't bought the official CCS adapter yet. Certain older Teslas need additional work done to accept the adapter. 2. Nissan Leaf owners (2025 and earlier), owners of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, and some owners of older cars that also use CHAdeMO. If you drive such a car, see my matc...

The largest IKEA store in Shanghai is going to be closed on February the 1st, 2026. Many memories here. Things are changing fast. Hej då, IKEA :(

I have been looking for this SCP story I read probably 10+ years ago about a person who finds the edge of the world and it's just an endless abyss of a cliff and they find a message or a scroll or something and it tells them about the SCP Foundation and how this is just another one of the times the world's been destroyed and they've rebuilt it (assumingly with SCP 2000) but the cliff they are standing on is just another one of the "resets" with it all down at the bottom of the drop. I am 99.3% sure it was an SCP story, in fact I believe it was the very second one I read after the IKEA store. any help would be fantastic and greatly appreciated

I needed a desk, and it was supposed to seem simple. You know - surface, legs, you put things on the desk. Why is this complicated? From my research for three weeks, each of the options had some trade-offs, which introduced new issues. Inexpensive chairs: particle board that will be baggy in a few months. Expensive study table(s): solid and more expensive than the monthly rent. Adjustable seats: parts that will turn out to be defective. Simple desks: no cable organization, no storage. Ended up buying the parts from different places: the solid table wood from alibaba, the round plastic but padded chair from Krosse, a throw pillow for back support from the IKEA store, and most of these were ...

Hi everyone! Our local IKEA stores in Portugal have these tablets in children play area with games (e.g. jigsaw, furniture assembling, drawing) My son is crazy about this game and is asking me to download it to his tablet, but I can’t find it anywhere. Does anyone know where can I get it?

In my last apartment, I had a neighbour who turned into a friend and now, an acquaintance. She wasn't exactly my next door neighbour, but lived a couple floors down. I came to meet her coz of two things - my apartment dog, Rocky, and the show, Criminal Minds. It's weird but Rocky was very close to us, would sleep at our place, eat at our home, but did not belong to us. One day, I was looking for him and found him sleeping in front of another apartment. I went down since he didn't come when called. When I was petting him, I heard Criminal Minds from inside - one of my favorite shows ever (one that I miss so much coz there's no streaming platform in India 😭😭) I wa...

*Shadow proceeds to jump into the nearest manhole cover - after retrieving the purple chaos emerald, several rockets homing in behind him right as he closes the cover.* *Thud, thud, thud - CRASH!!* *What he was not expecting was to land inside a store, specifically..* **An IKEA store.** *Great, just great.* *How the **** is he gonna get out of here now? Gotta ask one of the employees working around here nicely.* *Wouldn't hurt to ask someone to give him some directions..* " What do you mean the stores now closed? " **STAGE START.**

Guys I have a fun idea, let's all pretend we are a toxic couple/family fighting at an IKEA store, like husband comes home late doesn't provide any explanation something like that, or something like the way Charles and Diana fought in the Crown

Hey everyone! I currently have a SONGESAND dresser ([link](https://www.ikea.com/in/en/p/songesand-chest-of-4-drawers-brown-50366775/)) and I love the quality and feel of it. However, it is too tall for the space and I’m thinking about replacing it with the the HAUGA dresser ([link](https://www.ikea.com/in/en/p/hauga-chest-of-6-drawers-white-80581537/)) because the height fits my room better. Before I pull the trigger I want to ask: In real use/feel, how do these two compare in terms of build quality, sturdiness, drawer hardware, and longevity? An IKEA store is not accessible to me, so cannot go and compare. I’m very happy with Songesand quality so I don’t want to downgrade if Hauga...

Hey All, Does anyone know if the Range of Oak Veneer (not to be confused with the “white-stained Oak”) Besta units have been discontinued in the UK? (Or know if IKEA publish somewhere their outgoing lines?) Moved into my new place in November and have bought a couple of units each month as moving house is offensively expensive so couldn’t do it all at once and had to wait for stock to come in across my nearest stores (Reading/Southampton) I was looking at doing my final order, but the stock check is not showing as “Not sold” at all of the sites now. I’ve not seen any notification about it being the last chance to buy or similar. Can anyone help? Andy

After several attempts, I installed a Kajplats E27 Matter bulb about 10 meters from the hub. Everything seemed to be working fine until the next day, when it repeatedly disconnected. I took the bulb back to the Ikea store and replaced it with an identical one. Same story. It worked fine for a day, then the disconnections started. I've performed the bulb reset and Dirigera restart procedures dozens of times. The problems now seem to have been solved by replacing the original 5W power supply with a 10W one. I see that everything works better now. Could the power supply be slightly undersized or defective?
