plastic leveling foot for my IKEA GALANT table leg

GALANT A-leg | IKEA.com

Your post on repairing the GALANT A-leg was great, only mine was actually broken on the end of the screw at top of leg.

The table had been in a huge basement flood, so we resorted to drilling holes into the legs and bolting them.

It worked great but now I need the leveling foot for just one of the legs. Really appreciate your help.

Hi Claudine

The first place to try is always, of course, IKEA.

However, the GALANT is discontinued (replaced by the BEKANT system), so they may no longer stock parts for it. But then, you’ll never know. Check with Customer Service. They may still have a spare leveling feet somewhere in the vast cavern of a warehouse.

If they are out of it, then …

Buy a new leg

I checked on ebay and Amazon. You can still get a GALANT leg or two. Since yours is already broken at the top, it may be better to replace the entire leg rather than try to fix the foot.

Or buy new leveling feet

Other brands of leveling feet may work. Take a look at the ones sold on Amazon or your local hardware store. You do need to carefully shop for the right ones to fit. Remove the old one from the GALANT leg and take it with you to the store for a suitable replacement.

Hope that helps to salvage your old GALANT table.

Happy hacking,

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...

A beautiful design idea for the IVAR cabinet with doors

A wall of IVAR cabinets with doors engraved is astonishingly captivating. Because IVAR is real solid wood (unlike a lot of flat-pack cupboards), it makes a great blank canvas for CNC machining work and engraving. IKEA items used: IKEA IVAR cabinets in 30mm (12″) and 50mm (20″) depths. IVAR cabinet | IKEA.com Other materials and tools: CNC Router How to engrave the IVAR cabinet with doors: Build a wall of IVAR cabinets to your preference. It’s not too difficult to shorten some in order to fill a wall exactly. I shortened the top row to 695mm and reduced the depth of the middle column to 40mm to create a 50/40/30 sequence so that I didn’t block the window but maximised storage capacity. Take a drawing, trace it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into a black-only flat design. You can simplify the path at this point to reduce the time needed to engrave. Chop up the drawing in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into door-sized sections. Save as an SVG. Import the ...
