I am planning to buy some furniture from the IKEA Brimnes series and would like to get detailed information about the dimensions beforehand. Could you please provide me with precise measurements of the Brimnes furniture, especially the wardrobes, dressers, and beds? I am also interested in the internal dimensions, if possible, as the external dimensions alone are not sufficient for me since I want to optimize the use of space. If you know the measurements from your own experience or from the product description, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

I am planning to buy some furniture from the IKEA Brimnes series and would like to get detailed information about the dimensions beforehand.I’m happy to provide you with a detailed overview. The IKEA Brimnes series includes various furniture pieces that often differ significantly in their measurements.
Some examples:
- Brimnes cabinet with 2 doors: approx. 78 cm (31 inches) wide, 50 cm (20 inches) deep, 190 cm (75 inches) high
- Brimnes chest of drawers with 4 drawers: approx. 120 cm (47 inches) wide, 48 cm (19 inches) deep, 96 cm (38 inches) high
- Brimnes bed frame (varies by size): for example, in 90x200 cm (35x79 inches) approx. 209 cm (82 inches) long, 99 cm (39 inches) wide, 89 cm (35 inches) high
It is important to note that the internal measurements of compartments and drawers differ depending on the furniture. For cabinets, the panels and hardware are often about 2 cm (0.8 inches) thick, so the inner height and depth can be roughly 4 cm (1.6 inches) less.
With beds, keep in mind that the sleeping surface is slightly smaller than the external frame dimensions because the frame takes up some space.
Do you have specific pieces in mind that you would like more precise measurements for? I can provide exact dimensions depending on the type.

You need to keep this in mind when planning. The drawers typically have an interior height of approximately 15–18 cm (6–7 inches).asete schrieb:
Depending on the model, I can provide you with more precise measurements.An additional note: The Brimnes furniture is designed specifically for practical space utilization, often featuring adjustable internal compartments or dividers. This can sometimes make the dimensions a bit tricky to measure.
For the wardrobes, for example, a two-door model typically has an internal usable depth of about 46 cm (18 inches), despite an external depth of 50 cm (20 inches). The height of individual shelves is adjustable, often in increments of 3 cm (1 inch).
When it comes to the dressers, keep in mind that the top drawer in some models is shallower (around 13 cm / 5 inches), while the lower ones are deeper (up to 22 cm / 9 inches). Knowing exactly which version you need can be helpful—especially if you plan to store specific items.
Since IKEA occasionally updates their measurements, I recommend double-checking the product specifications at the time of purchase. Are you planning to customize the furniture interiors, or is this more about general space planning?
