🚀🚀🚀🚀 IKEA should give you a percentage of the sales of these rails, you were the only one who explained step by step visually without having to second guess what’s next 💯💯💯

Wow you made this look so easy I had no idea i was supposed to purchase additional brackets 😩 I’ve been trying to figure this out for days thank you

Omg I was about to give up until I found this video. THIS should be on ikeas website instead of what they have! Thanks a million!

[carolgervais]

That was WAY more helpful then Ikea's video. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for freeing my mind! Headed out to get additional brackets that I knew nothing about!!

[ArianaVaz]

Wow that’s so helpful 🙌🏾 I didn’t know that I had to buy the brackets separate. Thank you 🙏🏽

I didn’t know Mark Ruffalo make how-to videos. I really appreciated it. Like everyone else said, the package instructions are possibly the worst ikea has ever produced

The little mounting arm you use to twist here to secure the railing to the mount is all I got. Mine, however, all have holes in them, and it seems like they're meant to be screwed straight into the ceiling, doing away with this little mounting bracket. The little bracket permanently mounted seems superfluous, and will drop the rail down for no reason. I can't even find this little bracket on IKEA's site. So it seems like IKEA has changed how they expect you to mount these to the ceiling - just screw the little arm straight in, snap the rail onto it, and twist it to hold the rail. 4 mm screws seem to have the right size screw head to still fit into the rail.

I'm in the UK and I don't have the ceiling brackets in the pack. Looking at the menial, you only need the little lever bracket. It mounts to the ceiling with a washer so it can layer rotate.

I just purchased mine a week ago (January 2022) It came with all the items needed. I did not have to purchase anything else. Based on the front cover of your manual, which also is slightly different, more parts are included as well. So it may be based on when you last purchased your item.

Really helpful. Thank you. I was so struggling with this.👍🏾

[francescamaniaci]

Thank you! The ikea instructions looked so confusing

I’m not crazy. I installed a 15’ by 9’ IKEA laundry cabinet system but cannot see how to mount this to the ceiling. No brackets. Drove 1 hour to the store… no brackets. So how does this work? I get the slide mechanism… but this doesn’t go to the ceiling.

Those ceiling brackets aren’t included and IKEA doesn’t sell them. It also doesn’t come with screws to attach the plastic piece to the ceiling. I had to get a couple screws. Took me a while to figure this all out.

[sayasatar]

Where did you find the ceiling brackets ? I have been looking for them but can not find it !

[goxyeagle]

According to manual we don't need those pieces that goes into ceiling. I couldn't find any in the store either....
