April 1, 2016 - Not the chest of drawers. Just red. Very red. Take a look: The living room walls no longer have the red stripes (it has since been painted), so the red chest (with the bottom piece installed wrong side out – you noticed that didn’t you?) went up in my bedroom. My orange bedroom. Yes, a red chest in my orange bedroom. Lovely, huh? Until now. Meet my IKEA Hack!

At this point in the process, I also chose to fill in the holes for the hardware on the larger drawers. I wanted to replace the pulls with something a little more fun, and I knew the existing holes wouldn’t work. I simply used DAP’s Premium Wood Filler for these holes, then sanded it down just like with the trim! Once it’s sanded and painted, the original holes are totally invisible – it’s just like magic! Now for the fun part – it’s time for paint! When you’re working with IKEA furniture, you always want to prime it using this primer.

Spring One Room Challenge Week 3: Simple Ikea Hemnes Dresser Hack for the Nursery » Lavender Julep
May 20, 2021 - This was a really easy thrift flip, because it didn’t involve completely sanding down the dresser in order to repaint it. Since it was already white and the wood filler easily filled all of the holes and scratches, all I needed to do was give it a quick sand after the wood filler was applied, before proceeding to paint. My top tip for planning to refinish anything thrifted is to make sure it’s solid wood, if possible. This makes it a lot easier to touch up any imperfections. Sometimes Ikea furniture is laminate, which can make the refinishing process a lot trickier.

r/IKEA on Reddit: IKEA Hemnes Drawers Locked Shut!
March 12, 2024 -

Does anyone know how I can unlock my drawers? They no longer open due to the mechanism pictured here.

When I put mine together, I took that locking mechanism out completely. Like, I know why it’s there, but I’m a grown man with no children around me, so it’s superfluous. And frankly I don’t need to only be able to have a single drawer open at any given time. Having said that, and in response to your issue—it’s molded plastic. Break it and your drawer open and remove it (the drawer) so you can get inside to that main locking thingy, manually move it to the released position. At that point, I’d strongly recommend removing that locking arm entirely from both sides. But you do you…at this point, just pulling hard on the drawer should bend or break the clip in the back and allow you to do what you need to do.

Thanks for these postings. it took me 7 hours yesterday to put this three-drawer hemnes dresser together and then I couldn't get the drawers in at all. so this morning after reading all these posts I put the dresser on its side and undid the top two drawer rails, just four screws, and then pulled out this piece of nonsense before putting the drawer rails back in place. there will never be any children or toddlers or infants climbing on this dresser. drawers now slide in beautifully. when I bought this at Ikea in East Palo Alto yesterday, it reminded me of buying Sudafed--such a production of legalese! I asked what they do if someone doesn't have an email address to pop into the effing form, and was told then we just can't sell the dresser. The discussion in this community was a lifesaver!
