Hello everyone, I am planning to assemble an IKEA Brimnes wardrobe and have some concerns about the quality and durability of the screws provided. Therefore, my question is: Which screws are best suited for the IKEA Brimnes wardrobe, especially if you prioritize stability and long-lasting performance? I would like to know whether it is advisable to use the original screws or if it is better to choose different types of screws (e.g., stainless steel screws, particleboard screws). Any advice on dimensions, materials, and load-bearing capacity would also be helpful. Thank you in advance!

If you install the cabinet in more humid rooms, stainless steel screws are truly a lifesaver 😉.That’s a good point. However, I would also consider how often the screws will be screwed in and out, for example with frequent repositioning. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, but the material can sometimes be more brittle. It might be worth using screws with a special coating that offers enough flexibility while still remaining rust-free.
Question: Are you mainly planning to use replacement screws, or to fully reassemble the cabinet? Depending on the situation, that could change the recommendation.

For replacements: better to use higher-quality stainless steel chipboard screws, as mentioned before. No experiments when rebuilding, replacement screws can be upgraded.
