Hello everyone, I recently purchased some Ikea Brimnes furniture, specifically dressers and wardrobes, and I’m wondering how long the hinges actually last in practice.

I’m not just referring to the theoretical specifications, but your real-life experiences: do the hinges on Brimnes furniture often have issues after six months, more than a year, or even several years? How sturdy do you find the mechanism with daily use—for example, opening and closing the doors every day?

I’m also interested in whether these hinges are easy to adjust, if they tend to sag or make noise over time, and how they hold up with intensive use.

Perhaps someone even has tips on how to extend their lifespan or what challenges to watch out for during assembly. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

For me, applying a drop of oil to the hinges after installation helped. This made them operate much more smoothly and they no longer catch.
