Hello everyone,
I recently ordered and assembled an IKEA Hemnes piece of furniture, but I found that some important screws were missing in my delivery. The specific screws in question are the long metal connectors needed to securely join the individual panels (the official term in the instructions is "metal screw with thread" or "connecting bolt").
Since I don’t want to leave the furniture incomplete or unstable, and I assume this might happen to others as well, I wanted to ask:
What do you recommend doing if screws are missing from an IKEA Hemnes?
- Should you contact IKEA directly, or are there quicker alternative solutions?
- Are there compatible replacement screws available at hardware stores that can be used?
- How do you handle possible delays due to replacement shipments?
I look forward to your tips and experiences, especially any advice on the best way to contact IKEA or whether there are certain types of screws that can be safely omitted.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks to everyone for the helpful feedback!
In conclusion: I will continue to order replacement parts from IKEA. The hardware store solution is a temporary workaround for short-term installations.
I am following this topic because others might face similar problems. If anyone has additional tips or specific screw references for Hemnes, I would be interested in compiling them—such as common dimensions or sources.
Perhaps a moderator could gather the best tips into a FAQ?
