If your assembled IKEA furniture isn't stable, you can try the steps below, which are based on the suggestions given:
• Put pieces of particle board together with waterproof polyurethane glue. Be careful not to use too much so that the seams don't show visible squeezing.
• Check to see if the shaking is caused by an uneven floor. The problem might still be there after moving the furniture around.
• To level the legs, cut and smooth the bottom part of them with a card scraper. It might be easier to do this if you turn the furniture over.
• To fix screws that are wobbling, use a screwdriver and washers to hold them in place. For a big wobble, use epoxy and a drill bit to fix any loose hardware.
• L-brackets can be used to strengthen joints and legs that move around a lot. For a more attractive solution, chair braces are also available.
• If the legs of your furniture are uneven or wobbly, you might want to get new ones. If you have unique furniture, talk to a reputable furniture maker about getting replacements that will work with it.
These suggestions are not official and may result in some unexpected problems if you’re not careful enough. Pick the method that works best for the problem you're having with the stability of your IKEA furniture.
