Can I change or modify my IKEA product?

Any modifications you do to a product, such as drilling holes or removing parts during use, will void the warranty.

The safety of our customers is at the heart of how we design our products. That's why, we take care to create them in a way to prevent any accidents, so you can feel safe in your home. Any modifications you do to a product such as drilling holes or removing parts during use, will void the warranty, as it no longer functions the way it was designed and may have ruined the integrity of the product's structure. Therefore, carefully read and follow the assembly instructions for your product. 
 
Products that indicate the need to be anchored, will need to be secured to the wall for safety reasons. These are needed if displayed in the assembly guide and will not void the warranty.

  • After I've assembled a piece of furniture, can I disassemble it and then assemble it again?

    Although most IKEA furniture is flat-pack furniture, it's not designed to be disassembled after you assemble it for the first time. After you disassemble and reassemble a piece of furniture, the quality of the product can be degraded by creating more space between screw holes and parts than originally existed.
