Hello everyone,
I recently assembled an IKEA Brimnes piece of furniture and noticed that some screws got damaged or broke very quickly during the assembly. I’m curious if there are any commonly known screws in the Brimnes range that frequently cause problems, such as breaking when being screwed in, wearing out fast, or being difficult to handle.
It would also be helpful to know if IKEA uses a specific type of screw in this series, and if anyone has experience or tips on how to best avoid or fix such issues.
Thanks for your feedback!

With my Brimnes dressers, the so-called cam screws / connector fittings are always the common weak points.I agree, the cam screws tend to pull out from time to time if the panel isn’t perfectly flat. That’s why I always make sure the parts are properly aligned before tightening the screws fully.
