Our IKEA Kvarnobank broke. It’s missing a matching piece for the two screws on the side. Does anyone have one or know where I can get it? I couldn’t find anything at IKEA.

Thanks for your help

Must? One can also keep looking, because maybe someone once bought such a bench and kept the connecting parts. In any case, one does not give up so easily. Thank you.

Why not ask a metal workshop if they could give this as a practice assignment to an apprentice? The apprentice will probably still need to do more work, but not 500 or 100 pieces right away. Maybe just 10.

If the bench is mainly made of wood, I would simply redo the joint using wood screws. They might be visible then – so what.

Measure the dimensions, buy a suitable metal rod at the hardware store (or use one you already have in the basement), drill holes, cut threads, saw to length, and deburr. That’s how I would do it.
Maybe also mark it (digitally) and have it CNC milled or manufactured by an online fabricator.

I would be curious to know exactly how this part is installed. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any assembly instructions online (anymore).

You do need quite a lot of tools for that, which the average person doesn’t usually have on hand.
Your second tip is more realistic.
In my opinion, the most practical way is still to connect the parts simply with wood screws and, if necessary, brackets.
Therefore, it would actually be helpful to see pictures showing which parts need to be connected at all...

I just noticed that this bench has a metal frame. So my suggestion to use wood screws is obviously out of the question. It’s probably about attaching a side panel with a leg to the crossbar. An angle bracket could still be a solution, but in this case, you would likely need metal drill bits, threaded screws, and nuts...
