ᐅ Which replacement parts are most commonly needed for IKEA Hemnes furniture?

Hello everyone,

I recently started to take a closer look at the spare parts for the IKEA Hemnes range to better understand which components are most commonly needed or replaced. My question to the community is:

From your experience, which IKEA Hemnes spare parts are in highest demand or wear out most often?

I am particularly interested in details about the types of furniture where parts are frequently required, and whether there are specific components that break or get lost more often than others (e.g., hinges, handles, drawer slides, etc.). Additionally, it would be great if someone could share insights on availability or recommended sources for obtaining these spare parts.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Hey harmlo, great question!!!

From my experience, especially with Hemnes wardrobes, the hinges and handles often need to be replaced. The hinges wear out from frequent opening and closing, so it’s really helpful to have spare parts when something sticks or becomes loose.

Small components like screws, dowels, and metal drawer runners are often weak points.

I recently ordered some replacement handles directly from IKEA—they are very easy to get. Otherwise, specialty stores or online shops can help if IKEA is out of stock.

So go ahead and order the parts, because this will significantly extend the life of your furniture! 😊

Hinges, handles, and drawer slides are the main replacement parts. Often, the doors stick or the drawers no longer operate smoothly.

Hello,

I would like to add that, in addition to the parts already mentioned, the plastic end caps or feet on Hemnes dressers and tables should not be underestimated. These are often the first components to suffer damage due to wear or accidental impacts.

This is especially true for older furniture that is frequently moved or rearranged. Ordering these small replacement parts is very practical, as they help protect the furniture from damage to the floor.

I can only confirm this – the small fasteners tend to get lost or break quite easily. Therefore, when ordering replacement parts, I recommend also getting some extra screws and dowels so you don’t have to order again immediately if something gets lost.

For additional overview: The demand for replacement parts for IKEA Hemnes mainly focuses on the following components:

- Hinges: Often damaged due to heavy use and incorrect handling
- Handles: Show signs of wear or breakage
- Drawer slides: Worn out or damaged from improper opening
- Screws & dowels: Commonly lost during assembly and transportation
- Plastic feet and end caps: Protect against moisture and floor damage

Availability: IKEA usually offers replacement parts directly through their customer service, but delivery times can vary. Alternatively, third-party suppliers for IKEA replacement parts can sometimes be reliable sources when original parts are out of stock.

It is always recommended to order with knowledge of the exact replacement part number from the IKEA parts list, which is often available in the service section of the IKEA website.

I would like to add to the post deliberately and hope this information is helpful for anyone looking for replacement parts for IKEA Hemnes:

Besides the common wear parts, it is also advisable to carefully check the mechanical fastenings inside the furniture. For example, the drawer runner inserts tend to break relatively often, which limits functionality.

I agree with this and would like to add that unnoticed misalignment of the hinges often leads to increased wear. Proper adjustment can significantly extend their lifespan.

When ordering, I recommend having the model number and the year of manufacture of the furniture ready – this greatly helps identify the correct replacement part.

Additionally, the assembly instructions from IKEA can provide valuable details that assist with the repair.
