Good morning everyone,

I am planning to order the Ikea Brimnes bed and came across a topic that made me a bit uncertain: Are missing parts a common issue with the Ikea Brimnes bed?

I found various online reports where customers mention missing screws or missing shelves. Since it is important that all parts are complete for furniture like the Brimnes bed, I would like to know whether these are isolated cases or a more frequent problem.

Does anyone have experience with the Brimnes system and can confirm if such delivery issues happen often? That would help me plan better.

Thanks in advance!

For me, everything was complete.

If something is missing, you can easily request a replacement part from Ikea.

Hello dupeo,

I understand your concern, especially since individual parts can sometimes be missing with flat-pack furniture.

From my experience with the Brimnes range, I can say that Ikea is generally very reliable when it comes to completeness. Of course, mistakes can happen, but they are usually noticed when checking the package during unpacking.

If something is actually missing, it is advisable to contact Ikea’s customer service, which usually provides replacements quickly and without complications.

Also, if you carefully plan the assembly and check the parts before starting, you can often prevent errors from occurring later.

As a supplement: According to several consumer reports and forum discussions, missing parts are generally rare with Ikea furniture. However, for models with more complex self-assembly, such as the Brimnes, some customers have occasionally reported missing screws or replacement parts.

The frequency of these occurrences is difficult to quantify, as Ikea does not publish official figures on this.

A systematic check when unpacking is therefore recommended.

Ikea also offers the option to order replacement parts online or request them through customer service, with average delivery times of a few days.

Practical tip: Carefully read the assembly instructions and check all required parts before starting the assembly to avoid delays.

So, I bought my Brimnes bed last year and only had to call once because a screw was missing.

That’s true, they get things back on track quickly – almost like a good surprise, but without the stress 😉.

I always check everything carefully as soon as I unpack it; it saves nerves and time in the long run. It’s a bit meticulous, but it makes sense for furniture that’s going to be with you for years.

I find it interesting how everyone here politely says things like "I just had one missing screw." Honestly, that’s typical Ikea: mass production and not always having perfect quality control.

You can’t really expect every package to be flawless; statistically, for a large company like Ikea, such issues may not have a significant impact. Still, it’s important to be aware that receiving missing or incorrect parts is not uncommon.

From that perspective, yes, it’s a great service strategy. But ideally, it should be possible to avoid such problems from the start.
