Hello everyone,
I am planning to buy the Ikea Brimnes dresser and am especially interested in the noise level of the drawers during regular use. Specifically, I would like to know how loud the drawers are when opening and closing, particularly when they are used normally—not handled very gently, but used quickly and frequently in everyday life. Are there noticeable noises that could be disturbing in a quiet home?
I have read that some furniture pieces come with soft-close runners, but is that the case with the Brimnes series? Otherwise, any experiences regarding material contact, friction noises, or the overall smoothness of operation would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

reoWilhelm15 May 2020 11:19The Brimnes dresser is really affordable, so you can’t expect high-end smoothness. I’ve had the furniture for 2 years, and just as TAUPLO says: rarely quiet, no soft-close feature. You only get a “quiet tap” if you close it very gently. That’s normal for a frequently used dresser.
But hey, for the price: great value for money, and I’ve gotten used to it. Maybe I’m just too relaxed 😉.
