Consequently, you either have to travel hundreds of miles to their store or figure it out on your own. They rarely ever answer the phone and then don't know the answer and transfer you where you wait for an hour to reach nothing or another uninformed agent. Now for the bad: Except for the knowledgeable lady who took the order, all of the Ikea personel have been uninformed dolts. Everything is soft close with lots of nice features quality is fabulous for this price level. Even with custom fronts, alignment of the fronts is a breeze. I am a semi-retired elderly architect who directed the unskilled installer. The plywood for the fronts, back of the island and countertops cost another $1600 including $400 shipping. Cost of the Ikea cabinets (9 with 15 drawers and lift up doors on wall cabinets) was just over $2,000. We sealed all raw edges and replaced the sink bottom with MDO plywood for maximum moisture resistance. (Both items available from Anderson Plywood) The cabinets are set on 2 x 4 bases faced with the black countertop material rather than the awkward legs and ugly high base. We refaced all of the cabinets using elegant 3/4' Bamboo plywood (the cheap fronts were used as patterns.) We used shiny black Phenolic resin plywood for our countertops. the cabinet shell so that we could complete the layout and am still trying to order the last drawer. Floor vent behind curtains Under couches Behind chairs This heater vent deflector will instantly improve the flow of your furnace heat and your cooling. One cabinet was out of stock and it has been a nightmare.
There were a few minor mistakes, which were corrected by the trucking company. Delivery took almost three weeks delivered to our door and unloaded for $59. Order by phone took fifteen minutes as Ikea stores are hours away.
Vent deflector under bed software#
No silly troublesome software just took cabinet sizes off the plans. Assembly and installation was very quick and easy and I certainly wouldn't trust it an expensive contractor to do it proprly. They were assembled and installed by a non-carpenter friend of the owner. I used them in a very low-budget new house. Depending on the pressure coming out of your vents, you might find that you need a couple of small magnets to keep them aligned to the slots in the vent.I recently had my first experience with Ikea kitchens. I slid mine under the couches and lined them up over the vents, and they work just as well as the Extend A Vent. If you have smaller furniture, a single Jiffy tray lid will probably work for you. The finished product is about 34 inches long which should work for just about any couch or large chair. You can do the same thing with the trays (and the trays are slightly more rigid because they’re designed to hold soil). Then I overlapped the two lids a couple of inches until the grooves lined up, and then I taped them together with clear packing tape. So I simply cut the end off of one lid, and cut both ends off of the other lid. The lids are clear plastic, the trays themselves are black, but if you’re putting them under furniture where they won’t show, the trays will work just as well as the lids, so for $10, you’re actually getting enough material to make two Extend A Vents! But even buying two Jiffy trays was only $10, still about half what I paid for one Extend A Vent.
I have two couches in my family room that cover up both vents in the room, so I needed two of these.
By the way, the Jiffy tray lid is 2.5 inches tall (about an inch taller than the Extend A Vent), so it actually allows more airflow, but that may mean it won’t fit under certain furniture. My experience was that both products are wide enough to cover the actual slots in the vent, but I agree that it is ridiculous that the Extend A Vent, a product that was presumably designed specifically to fit a furnace vent, doesn’t actually fit all that well. However, one of the most common complaints in the Amazon comments is the same thing about the Extend A Vent because it’s only 11 inches wide, so it doesn’t fit either. The trays are 21 inches long and 10.5 inches wide, which means they won’t quite fit the entire width of a standard 12″ vent. The plastic is the same thickness, and same general length and shape as the Jiffy Seed Starter trays you can buy at Lowes, and Home Depot for five dollars. When my wife saw the product, she said, “hey, that looks just like my seed trays!” She was right. I bought one, and like many others who commented on Amazon’s page, I felt like I had been taken. It is hardly worth the $15, or $17, or $18 that most places online are charging for these two flimsy pieces of plastic that barely fit together. But don’t buy one from Amazon, or anywhere else for that matter. If you have a room arranged in a such a way that the furnace vents are underneath your furniture, you might benefit from an Extend A Vent.
