ᐅ Ikea Uppleva Sound System with Ikea Hemnes Furniture

Hello everyone, I have a Hemnes TV stand that is 148cm (58 inches) wide, into which I would like to integrate an Uppleva sound system. There are pictures of this online, but it cannot be purchased either directly from IKEA or on the usual online platforms.

Does anyone perhaps know why this is the case? Was it only available in Southeast Asia, or what could be the reason?

And does anyone have a secret tip on how to get hold of one anyway?

Many thanks and best regards,

Philipp

Hello,
you don’t stand a chance. The HEMNES TV benches for the UPPLEVA sound system were 183 cm (72 inches) and 124 cm (49 inches) wide. Your HEMNES compartments are too narrow.

I have a Hemnes TV bench with 2 drawers; it is approximately 110 cm (43 inches) wide.

Was there a special version of this TV bench?

Best regards,
Gerhard

Yes, the HEMNES TV stand was 110 cm (43 inches) wide before IKEA included sound systems in their product range.

I have always relied on illustrations, but I wouldn’t have thought of that.
Changing a piece of furniture to sell an accessory that can’t be used by owners of existing models.

Cleverly done, I would say.

I don't think that was the intention. The devices were designed for Besta. Consumer electronics are not IKEA’s core business, so you should not expect a wide range of products, especially ones that are specific to individual pieces of furniture.
