IKEA VISTHUS rail bracket

thingiverse

I own an IKEA VISTHUS wardrobe, which is pretty neat on its own. However, it has one major flaw: the bracket holding the rail is ridiculously flawed. Every time you put a hanger back and accidentally bump into the rail, there's a risk of the rail falling out completely. Trust me, you don't want this to happen. IKEA tried to prevent this by creating a bracket with a small notch and some kind of click mechanism, but it doesn't help much at all. So I decided to redesign the bracket entirely by changing its shape from a C shape (facing the back of the wardrobe) to a U-shape (pointing upwards), relying solely on gravity to keep things in place. The new bracket uses the same screws and mounting holes as the original, preventing the rail from falling out. The only difference is that the original bracket is symmetrical, while this version isn't, so make sure to mirror one of the pieces. P.S: The original IKEA part number for this wardrobe component is 152533, in case IKEA uses it in other wardrobes as well.
