IKEA ODDA Spare Part: Don't Order the Wrong Screw

The ODDA is one of the few IKEA furniture pieces to combine metal and panel in the same structure. This detail changes everything when ordering an IKEA ODDA spare part. An M6 bolt does not replace a wood screw. This guide will help you avoid this mistake.

What the ODDA Furniture Is

The ODDA range was marketed by IKEA mainly in the 2010s. It is distinguished by its industrial look: a black or white metal tubular structure combined with particleboard panels. Simple, visually robust, designed for a teenager or young adult's bedroom.

It includes two main pieces:

The ODDA bed frame: single bed 90 x 200 cm with a tilting headboard. A sliding storage drawer is integrated under the bed (the "under" variant in IKEA instructions).
The ODDA wardrobe: two doors, clothes rail and two adjustable shelves. Mandatory wall mounting with the supplied device.

The ODDA range is now discontinued. Spare parts remain available from IKEA or through specialized dealers.

The Specific Feature That Changes Everything Before Ordering

The ODDA structure is a metal-panel hybrid. In the same instructions, two types of fasteners coexist with no relationship to each other.

Type of Fastener	Part of the Furniture	Tool Required
M6 bolts with nut	Metal tubular structure	Allen key + wrench
Wood screws	Panels, back, shelves	Phillips head screwdriver
Door hinges	Wardrobe (panel side)	Screwdriver

Before ordering, ask yourself one question: is the defective part on the metal part or on the panel part? The answer determines everything.

The Most Requested Parts

Screws and Structure Bolts (ODDA bed screws)

The M6 bolts that assemble the metal tubes are the most sought-after parts. They are lost during a move or seize up over time. These are standard M6 bolts, but the length varies depending on the assembly point. Consult the instructions for the exact length at each step.

If you can no longer find your instructions, they can be downloaded from ikea.com in "Customer Service" > "Assembly Instructions" by typing "ODDA".

Wardrobe Hinges (ODDA wardrobe hinge)

The hinges of the ODDA wardrobe are located on the panel side. These are standard recessed hinges. Their exact reference must be verified in the instructions or on the IKEA spare parts service. These are the most mechanically stressed components, especially in a teenager's room.

Scratches on the Metal Structure: What You Can Do

The paint on the metal tube is more sensitive to impacts than painted wood. This is not a product defect.

Superficial scratch: a touch-up with a matching RAL spray paint (matt black or white) works well.
Deformed tube: the part must be replaced. The metal structure cannot be straightened without risk of weakening.

How to Order the Correct Part

Locate the part on the furniture: metal frame or panel?
Open the corresponding ODDA instructions (bed or wardrobe). Identify the part number in the diagrams at the end of the instructions.
Order via the IKEA spare parts service with this number, or via a specialized dealer indicating the name of the furniture and the part number.

FAQ

My ODDA instructions have disappeared. How can I find them?
Go to ikea.com > "Customer Service" > "Assembly Instructions" and type "ODDA". The bed and wardrobe instructions are available separately.

My ODDA bed is creaking at the metal joints. What should I do?
Creaking on metal-to-metal connections comes from a slightly loosened bolt or the absence of a plastic washer. Recheck the tightening of all M6 bolts gradually and crosswise to avoid deforming the structure.

Does the ODDA wardrobe really need to be fixed to the wall?
Yes, without exception. The instructions require it and the fixing device is provided. This is a non-negotiable safety measure in a teenager's room.

I'm looking for a part for the drawer under the bed. What type of part is it?
The drawer rests on plastic wheels. It is a part on the panel/plastic side, not metal. Identify its number in the bed instructions, "under" variant.

Is the ODDA still sold by IKEA?
No, the range is discontinued. However, IKEA still offers spare parts for furniture in use. If a part is no longer available, specialized dealers may be able to source it.
