Us Bristolians love a visit to Ikea, especially when it comes to kitting out our homes, student accommodation and renovated spaces with some quick and easy - and kind to the bank balance - furniture and accessories. But did you know that, in some cases, you can order spare parts from the retail giant?
It's perfect for giving you that peace of mind, or for when you have a bit of an accident when putting your flat-pack furniture together, or just living with it in your home in general. Think spare feet for chairs, nails and screws for shelves and other fixtures and fittings that could be easily misplaced when you first open your new bit of homeware.
Of course, it all depends on stock levels and in some case how long ago you purchased your piece of furniture, as sometimes products - and all its spare pieces - can be discontinued after time. But, as Ikea says, repairing furniture you already own is far better for the environment (and your wallet) than replacing it.
