IKEA Stolmen shelving system rebuild tips, experiences

Dear community,

I want to set up a Stolmen shelving system in another room. Unfortunately, the reassembly did not work at all. (In the old room it was no problem, so theoretically it must be possible).

I wonder if I assembled the individual parts of the telescoping rods incorrectly after disassembly? Unfortunately, I cannot find an answer to this in the assembly instructions, as they assume the rods are correctly assembled and do not explain anything about this. Can you help me?

How do you properly fit the two rods into each other?
How is the plastic cap of the inner rod correctly screwed on?

On page 14 (step 5) of the assembly instructions, it shows that you can fix the length of the telescoping rod by twisting the inner and outer rods against each other. This principle does not work for me, so the problem must be somewhere there.

Thank you very much for your advice!

Hello,

logically from the images alone, I think it must be variant A. It looks as if the inner cone is pressed into the outer one and thereby spread. This tensions the cone in the pipe.

Thank you very much for the tip. I will try it that way.

That was really the crucial tip: Thank you very, very much! It's a pity that this is not explained that way in the [Stolmen] manual.
