Hello everyone,

I am considering purchasing the IKEA Hemnes range, especially bedroom furniture like wardrobes and dressers. Before placing an order, I would like to know if there are any common defects or weaknesses with this model or series based on your experience or known reports that I should be aware of. I am particularly interested in:

- Are there recurring quality issues, such as with workmanship or material quality?
- Are the furniture pieces durable, or are there frequent complaints?
- How is the stability and load-bearing capacity?
- Are there reports of problems during assembly or missing parts?

Thank you for your well-informed opinions and experiences – including any tips on how to avoid potential weaknesses!

A commonly discussed weakness is that the surface can be damaged more quickly by moisture compared to more expensive solid wood furniture.

This matches my experience: not ideal for bathrooms or near radiators. I also once pointed out missing screws, but IKEA replaced them quickly.
