ᐅ What are the exact dimensions of the Ikea BRIMNES furniture?

Hello everyone,

I am currently planning to purchase some furniture pieces from the Ikea Brimnes series for my bedroom. However, I have noticed that the standard dimensions are not consistently described everywhere. My specific question is: What are the exact dimensions of the individual BRIMNES furniture pieces? I am particularly interested in the width, depth, and height of the main items such as the bed frame, wardrobe, nightstand set, and dressers.

I would like to gather as precise information as possible in advance to place the furniture optimally in my room and avoid having to re-measure later. Who can help me with the exact dimensions or knows reliable sources for this information? Thank you very much in advance!

Hey Manjude,

cool question, I can definitely share some info with you! 😎
The BRIMNES series is a real classic at Ikea, and the dimensions vary depending on the piece of furniture. To give you a quick overview:

- The BRIMNES bed frame, for example, has a sleeping surface of 140 x 200 cm (55 x 79 inches), with outer dimensions of about 146 cm (57 inches) wide, 213 cm (84 inches) long, and approximately 87 cm (34 inches) high including the headboard.

- For the wardrobe, it depends on whether you mean the 2-door or 3-door model. The 2-door wardrobe measures roughly 78 cm (31 inches) wide, 54 cm (21 inches) deep, and 190 cm (75 inches) high.

- The nightstands are compact, usually around 41 cm (16 inches) wide, 35 cm (14 inches) deep, and 60 cm (24 inches) high.

- Dressers come in various heights, often about 120 cm (47 inches) wide, 50 cm (20 inches) deep, and 75 cm (30 inches) high.

If you want the exact dimensions for a specific piece, just let me know! Ikea sometimes adjusts sizes slightly depending on the production batch 😉

Hope this helps you for now!

Not entirely unimportant: when we talk about "exact dimensions," the assembly tolerances that Ikea specifies must also be taken into account. The nominal measurements of the BRIMNES models generally correspond to the following specifications:

- BRIMNES bed frame 140x200 cm (55x79 inches): overall dimensions approx. 146 cm (57 inches) wide, 213 cm (84 inches) deep, 87 cm (34 inches) high (including headboard). The sleeping surface is officially 140x200 cm (55x79 inches), which fits standard mattresses exactly. Small variations of up to +/- 5 mm (0.2 inches) may occur due to assembly.

- BRIMNES wardrobe (2-door): 78 cm (31 inches) wide, 54 cm (21 inches) deep, 190 cm (75 inches) high. The 3-door version is correspondingly larger at approx. 120 cm (47 inches) wide.

- BRIMNES nightstand: approx. 41 cm (16 inches) wide, 35 cm (14 inches) deep, 60 cm (24 inches) high.

- BRIMNES chest of drawers (3 drawers): 120 cm (47 inches) wide, 50 cm (20 inches) deep, 75 cm (30 inches) high.

It is important to know that these measurements refer to external dimensions. For internal dimensions, i.e., storage space, the material thickness (usually about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches)) must be subtracted accordingly.

I would also recommend double-checking the measurements in person at the Ikea store before purchasing, as dimensions may change with new versions. Should we go into detail about the features and internal dimensions?

Additionally, I would like to note that the Ikea BRIMNES series, in its most common versions according to currently available data, has the following dimensions:

- BRIMNES bed, 140x200 cm (55x79 inches) sleeping surface: 146 cm (57 inches) width, 213 cm (84 inches) depth, 87 cm (34 inches) height
- BRIMNES 2-door wardrobe: 78 cm (31 inches) width, 54 cm (21 inches) depth, 190 cm (75 inches) height
- BRIMNES 3-door wardrobe: approx. 120 cm (47 inches) width, 54 cm (21 inches) depth, 190 cm (75 inches) height
- BRIMNES nightstand: 41 cm (16 inches) width, 35 cm (14 inches) depth, 60 cm (24 inches) height
- BRIMNES dresser with 3 drawers: 120 cm (47 inches) width, 50 cm (20 inches) depth, 75 cm (30 inches) height

These dimensions are crucial for space planning. It is recommended, especially in rooms with low ceilings or limited space, to carefully verify all measurements and also consider packaging and assembly conditions.

Since BRIMNES is a series with several variants, it is important to check the exact product code or model description beforehand to avoid purchasing errors.

Absolutely right! A few months ago, I bought the BRIMNES bed and was really happy that I could plan everything so precisely beforehand. 🎉 The measurements almost exactly match the specifications, which made assembly and any adjustments much easier.

A quick tip: If you combine several BRIMNES furniture pieces, you can create smart storage solutions that enhance the bedroom!

Regarding dimensions: It’s especially important to pay attention to the overall size of the bed, since the headboard is significantly taller than the mattress. This can be relevant for windows or radiators. Good luck with your project!
