IKEA Hemnes and Brimnes Daybeds Investigation

Product Defect, Consumer Protection, False Advertising
by Bruno Ortega

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating IKEA Hemnes and Brimnes daybeds following allegations that products marketed as having “solid pine” slats may instead include finger-jointed / comb-jointed strips, with reports of fracture, flexing, and excessive creaking during ordinary use.

Reported Issues

Consumers report:

  • Slats described as “solid pine” on tags/product pages but appear jointed from smaller pieces
  • Slats fracturing during assembly or use
  • IKEA bed frame flexing and creaking, raising durability concerns
  • Disputes over whether the product matches point-of-sale representations

Why Consumers Should Be Concerned

Potential legal theories include:

  • False advertising / misrepresentation (“solid pine” vs. jointed composites)
  • Breach of implied warranty of merchantability (fracture/instability under normal use)
  • Unjust enrichment (price premium for “solid wood” quality)

Signs You May Be Affected

  • Purchased a IKEA Hemnes or Brimnes daybed (recent models)
  • Slats appear finger-jointed or splinter/break
