Is the Ikea Hemnes display cabinet available for separate purchase?

Hey Ikea fans!

About 5 weeks ago (between the years) I bought a Hemnes living room wall unit at the nearest Ikea – but unfortunately there was no Hemnes glass cabinet left at that time. Since the friendly Ikea salesperson found out after some research that it was (almost) nowhere to be bought anymore because the glass door had apparently been redesigned, he advised me to order the normal short Hemnes shelf (He assumed that the desired glass cabinet would not be delivered before April). In the meantime, I have found out that the (new?) glass cabinet is available again at the mentioned Ikea store.

Now my questions:
Could such a door be mounted on the normal Hemnes bookshelf? (Then I wouldn’t have to dismantle the entire living room wall unit)
If yes – can you also buy the glass door separately? I doubt it, but miracles can happen.

That’s it.

p.s.: oh yeah, really great site/forum, although I have only been around as a reader so far, you get nice insights here into the most famous furniture store in the world.

Hello kjurai,

in my experience, unfortunately there is no possibility from IKEA to order individual spare parts for the HEMNES furniture. I wanted to expand my display cabinet with an additional shelf and spoke about this both with a salesperson from the department and with staff from the service center. Both told me that if I need spare parts for this display cabinet, I have to buy a completely new display cabinet, unless parts were already defective or missing.

Maybe you’re lucky and find the doors in the [Fundgrube]!?!?

Judging by the dimensions, it should be retrofittable.

Have fun trying
