Check out the plastic repair wedges here: amzn.to/3n5aSxw
Another brand of drawer wedges: amzn.to/3rAPbZb
Cordless screwdriver used in the video: amzn.to/3IVdGH8
Wood Clamp similar to one used in video: amzn.to/336wraA
In this video I will show you how to fix sagging IKEA dresser drawers. If the bottoms of your drawers in your chest or dresser are starting to sag, this is an easy and inexpensive way to fix them up tight. You can even do this to dressers before they start to sag as a way of reinforcing them. I hope the video helps you fix any saggy drawers you have around the house.

Thank you so very much for making this video. I was literally ready to trash this dresser because 3 of the 5 drawers are sagging and I kept saying to myself I wish I had noticed that it was 3 drawers before I painted it. But I will be ordering these wedges tonight. Also, thanks for keeping it fairly short. Great job!

This is a good fix. The Ikea drawer bottoms are really cheap and thin, so I can assure you that this WILL happen! They will sag and come out of the groove. Doing it beforehand is not a bad idea, though probably no one will do it :) At the very least though, when you do one, do them all. Another method that I usually use is to just glue it. Get some Gorilla wood glue, run a bead in the groove and/or under it, clamp it to let it set, and then you have quite a rigid box that can hold some weight and not flex. This type of glue expands somewhat as it sets up, and it really works well to hold things together. The reason I kind of prefer the glued method is that with the plastic clips, while they do support the drawer bottom, there's nothing really keeping the bottom board in the groove. Over time, if there's excess weight in the drawer, they'll continue to sag and while they might not fall out as before, the system will not have the structural integrity and rigidity that it will if it's glued in. The downside is, you'll never (easily) get it apart, without probably damaging something. For Ikea-grade furniture, it seems a fair tradeoff.

Thank you for this. Really helpful and your video is so clear and well lit and your calm voice is great. And the link to the wedges was helpful. I used it on a second hand Ikea dresser I got. Here’s the funny thing. Previous owners had installed the same doohickies, but they put them on the INSIDE of the drawer 🙃 obviously that didn’t work 😂 anyway your video didn’t really mention which side but I thought it was intuitively anyway and then I studied yours to make sure I was right. Maybe I’m more handy than I thought!

However the cheap way of assembling with their screw and tighteners and the former owner using it as a kitchen drawers for her pots and pans, and dishes. So, my drawers were squared up, but the pressure on their screws, the whole thing fell apart. So I have the parts, and I got some nails, and I will rebuild the thing.

I'm not working at the moment and I need a dresser for my room. I saw a cheap dresser with sagging and was hesitant to get it. I'm so happy I clicked on this video by accident. I'm definitely going to get it now and I'm going to fix it myself. YAAAAAY 😊

Have somebody squeeze it together for you with their hands, or use your foot to push it against a wall. Might have to get creative!

This was awesome and exactly what I need. However I am wondering, is there a point of no return for a super-saggy base? Mine are a bit more far gone than yours. Do you recommend trying to find a replacement base altogether that can be inserted? Does anyone know if IKEA has those parts? All I ever see on their website is screws, drawer handles etc. Or... is there a way to get Lowe's or someone to make bases that would fit?

If these won't hold it, you could always add a small piece of wood like a 1x2 underneath for support!

Personally I hate that groove or slot for the flat bottom of a drawer as the standard. It always sags on Every dresser I've ever owned. Good video.

This video has given me hope that you can help me. I have a studio 10-drawer set. The problem is that no matter how hard I tighten the "screws" with the alan wrench it leans over again. Can you help me?

Alan wrench? It sounds like the screws have gotten some play in them. You may need to move them slightly over to one side so they can get a better "bite."

Looks like my drawers. I am going to "try" this repair. Thank you. My son's drawer bottom completely broke or maybe I broke it trying to fix it. Does anyone know the dimensions or what I can use as replacement? I cannot find a drawer as nice as the Henmes. I rather try to replace the bottoms. TIA

Thank YOU for this! I have a question about my 6-drawer Hemnes chest-the frame for the 2 smaller drawers at the top is sagging and interferes with me closing the top big drawer. Any ideas how to remedy it?

Oh, so not the actual middle part of the drawer that normally snags, the front edge?

@@fixitFlip No, I will be using this tip to reinforce the drawers though! If I remove one of the top 2 small drawers and pull up on the frame when the big drawer is closing, it closes without issue, but if both those two drawers are in, the big drawer won’t close. The face gets caught on the framing (not sure that’s the right word to be using).

@@tiffanycampbell4425 Okay, I am following you now. I believe that part of the dresser is just an independent piece of particle board. The best possible scenario would probably be to just replace that board, if Ikea sells replacement parts like that. Or you could possible screw in a small strip of real wood behind it to reinforce it.

Fingers crossed! Going to try… tell it to me straight - should I NOT use a drill? (I don’t have a screwdriver like yours and have many drawers to fix…)
@fixitFlip
@fixitFlip 2 жыл бұрын
You can use a drill. Just set the torque really low so you don’t drive a screw all the way through the thin wood.
