I don’t know if it is because I am ¼ Swedish or what, but I tend to spend a ridiculous amount of money at Ikea. I know it is cool to hate on the store, but I like it.
Anyone who has purchased items at Ikea will be familiar with the included paper instruction manuals. What do you do with them once your hands and marriage have been nearly destroyed assembling the package?
I don’t want these things taking up space, so I used to take the manual apart and scan it. Then it occurred to me: surely these already exist digitally online.
Ikea Site
As it turns out, the assembly manuals are available online at Ikea’s site. If you have a current piece of furniture, there is an assembly instructions page. Go to the page for your country, and you should be able to find the manual that you are looking for.
Helpfully, the manuals are also linked from each product’s page. Just look for the Assembly instructions section.
Ikea Fans
If you need an older or hard to find manual, the Ikea Fans Instructions forum can help. Search through that, and you’ll probably find what you’re looking for.
(Sadly, IkeaFans is now gone, but you can find many manuals at Ikea Addict)
Still can’t find it? You can post a request and hopefully someone can help you out.
Do you have any clever tips for storing and finding Ikea manuals?
