IKEA Wood Dowel x10 Pack (IKEA Part #101375)

Product Information

Added to my existing Kallax units Verified Reviewer This unit was added to my existing Kallax units. One recent trend involves gluing wooden dowels to bland furniture and decor items, which creates a fluted, grooved look. But first-time crafters should be aware that the project requires time and patience, Saintilus said. I've bought a large number of used Kallax and Expedit shelves and encountered this problem more times than I care to remember.

The unit has smooth surfaces and rounded edges that make it appealing to the eye and enjoyable to touch.

Choose whether to place it standing and use it as a shelving unit or lying and use it as a sideboard. Better to leave them in there (but chopped off so they don't get in the way) than to take them out and mess up everything else in the process. You can reduce the risk by trying to pry apart panels in the direction of the dowels, so that they are less likely to be snapped. By working together with our suppliers, we are proud to announce that we have reached our more sustainable sources goal, which we set out to achieve by 2020. I got a screwdriver for a watch screw and tried to use a hammer to try to get it sufficiently far in there such that I could kind of lever it it, but that did not help.

Unlikely to break the wood if puling them apart properly, since they are unlikely to jam as poorly fitted or swelled (or glued) wood ones do. If you're unable to remove a dowel by hand use a pair of pliers to get more leverage and the dowel should come straight out.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. But some other brands have such sloppy dowel holes combined with worse 1/4 turn fasteners that you do need glue if you don't want the result to wobble.It's a great-looking and flexible range but just wish there was something other than dowels to fit it all together. If you're gluing dowels to a piece of furniture that gets used a lot, like a dresser or a headboard, then use something strong like E6000 or Gorilla Glue," she wrote. Coordinates well with pieces of furniture in the LACK series that have the same timeless expression and material as KALLAX. But be careful because a lot of times the dowels are in holes that only go partway through a piece of wood and have a finished surface on the other side.
