If you have the hemnes bookcase from Ikea(re dimensions)

I know that online it says is 35 3/8 wide, but I'm hoping that is the width at it's widest point(the top ledge).  I have a nook that allows for 36 inches, but there is a baseboard on the bottom which would only allow 34.5 inches for the bottom:(  The closest Ikea is a good 70 miles from here or so.Please save me from having to make that drive:)

Re: If you have the hemnes bookcase from Ikea(re dimensions)

  • Can you call a store and make them measure it for you? 
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • They won't and it's a haul to get to the store...especially with a little one.  Oh well, I'm sure I will find something.  Thanks:)

     

  • I might be going to Ikea in the next few weeks. When do you want to know? I could measure it for you. I might head out there as soon as this weekend, just waiting to see what my mom is up to.

    Oh my goodness, that is so sweet of you!  If you happen to pass by it with one of their paper measuring tapes and it's not any trouble, that would be awesome.  But please don't go out of your way. If I find out prior to this weekend, I'll pop back on here and let everyone know I got the measurements.  Thanks so much and happy shopping:)
  • I have the Hemnes Tall Dresser - the top is 43-1/2" but the actual body is 39-1/2". The over hang on EACH side is 2". HTH

  • I have the bookcase.  It is exactly 35 3/8 wide from top to bottom.  The top ledge only over hangs a bit in front, not on the sides.  Sorry!
  • Thank you ladies so much!   You just saved me from driving to ikea! 
  • I was wondering if anyone knows the internal dimensions of the same bookcase. I want to know if I can fit a TV that is 34.9 inches wide inside this bookcase. I'd adjust the shelf height and reinforce them for bearing weight, but don't know if the case is wide enough or not.

    Thanks so much!
