With the timber in position, place the two corner braces on the inside of the drawer directly above the timber on the two opposite ends.

Drawer supports for sagging drawers loss in the brace down into the timber beneath. Well I eagging contact them via facebook to see if any luck.

I have a new Hemnes living room cabinets that are junk — not square, warping drawer faces, etc. I put adhesive in the grooves to reinforce when i assembled, but wish i had had the drawer repair.

Thanks again!!!! I have been dealing with this for years on the Malm dresser my son has…and I just recently bought similar IKEA furniture and noticed the supports, which are great and will solve the problem!

I was going to try and buy them, saw this article, I called and explained about the older dresser falling apart and the CS rep was nice, polite, understood exactly what I needed and they are on their way to me..

We are redoing my nieces bedrooms and rather than buy new furniture we are painting the malm furniture but they have saggy drawers! This fix looks a lot easier!! I ordered enough of the metal brace parts and screws to do my dressers and theirs! I got them yesterday but there were no instructions.

Can you tell me what I need to do? I thought it was 2 per bottom! I did find the link to the instructions on your page. I did both of the dressers and night table in my one nieces bedroom. I still have to fix my other nieces and mine as well. Both nieces have 2 dressers and one night table in their bedroom and I have 2 dressers.

I did 2 braces per full size drawer and 1 brace for the smaller ones. The heavier insert are done for safety reasons. With all the drawers opened, it will tip over. I will bring the old ones back for a full refund and buy the updated models.

I received the brackets in 4 days from the phone call and fixed the drawers! IKEA customer service ins the best. That was awesome!! Thanks to whoever posted this info. I called them today. We have two dressers, one tall and one wide. BOTH have sagging dresser drawers. Amazing tip, thank you! I just ordered these in the UK and they will be delivered to my home in around 4 days.

Thank you for posting this information. I phoned IKEA and placed an order for 20, as you suggested, and my oder will be in the post today. Thanks for documenting this! Initially customer service was looking for a part under the Malm series, but I got her to look for it standalone and she found it just fine.

I called the customer service in US yesterday. The representative was very nice. However, I received this email this morning. Anyone having the same issue?

Thanks for the tip! Thanks for posting this life saving tips. Well I just contact them via facebook to see if any luck. Thanks a bunch! Good work and keep sharing hacks and tips please.

Did reaching out via Facebook work? I also tried calling them just now and there is no way getting through via phone right now. Thanks for posting this! I was wondering if you ever needed to replace the bar that separates the drawers. It took a few moments and a little conversation for customer service to find the part btw, they confirmed that screws do not come with.

They are sending me 10 for free! Many thanks for posting this solution and all the people who reported their experiences! I just ordered. Super quick and easy. I ordered the supports and screws thank you for posting the part numbers and they will be shipped within hours due to covid but rep said I should still receive this week. No questions asked or any hassle.

Impressed with the customer service. When reassembling the drawer, the drawer bottom might be a little tighter than it was originally. You want to allow for expansion, but if the plywood is just a little tight in the dado it will firm up the drawer a bit and prevent it from racking when it is pulled from one side or the other.

This is another reason I think this is a huge improvement over the hardboard. Once the bottom is replaced, the drawers feel much more solid. You might want to hit the plywood with a little sandpaper before putting the drawer back together because you might have some splinters otherwise.

This drawer is nice and solid now and it can be the heavy duty drawer of the dresser. It can easily take all the clothes that are crammed into it and the bottom stays firm and in place in the dado. This was actually the prototype project for this process, but I didn't take enough pictures to document it. You can still see that the process was the same as for the dresser. These drawers at the bottom of the basement entertainment center get packed with all kinds of heavy stuff.

The drawer that gave out is where I store old batteries. Once I have enough, I bring them to the store that recycles them. Sometimes these little zipper bags of old batteries get pretty heavy.

I also store new batteries, and game controllers, and DVDs in this drawer, so the flimsy hardboard bottom never stood a chance. I replaced this about 7 months ago and have not had Drawer Supports For Sagging Drawers 95 a problem with it since. As a result of some of the comments I received, I decided to include some other ways to repair these drawer problems. Below are a few other fixes that would also work and might take fewer tools to complete.

This one looks simple enough and you could probably do it with a hand saw and a drill. It would firm up the drawer itself and lock the bottom in the dado groove. This one will work on the front and back to back up drawer dadoes, but because this dresser's drawer slides have a bit of this built in for the sides, this won't work on the side pieces.

I think you could probably use some pieces of quarter round molding or shoe molding as long as it isn't wider than the distance between the bottom of the drawer and the outer edge of the frame.

This one would make a very solid and permanent repair. Thanks for sharing it!! I was about to buy this cabinet, to put all the kitchen dishes and so, and now I know i should buy a reinforcing piece!!!

This one will work on the front and back to back up drawer dadoes, but because the drawer slides have a bit of this built in for the sides, this won't work on the side pieces. Nice job. We have the same series dresser, with the same problem. I was going to try taking it all apart and putting some RTV Silicone in the groove, then reassemble.

Reply 6 years ago. That could work and would be a pretty simple fix. This drawer bottom had already torn in the corner so I needed to completely replace it. Now I'm tempted to replace all of the bottoms this way because it is such a drastic improvement over the original design. If I take the drawer out and place it front down, I can easily push the bottom back into the groove and press down on the back to make it all fit.

But as soon as I let go the back piece bends and the bottom slips out again. I have seen 2 other methods on the "This Old House" website that might help. One involves attaching half inch by half inch blocks along the bottom edge below the drawer bottom to give it more support.

The other one uses a block on the underside of the drawer as a backer for attaching an angle bracket to the back of the drawer. Here is the link for the second method Introduction: Fixing Saggy Drawers.
