IKEA product data: article numbers, furniture sets and local stock
Model IKEA products by article number, furniture configuration, carton dimensions and local stock. IKEA U.S. terms require written consent before monitoring, copying or scraping.
Use the IKEA article number with the selected option.
An IKEA U.S. product page identifies a sellable article with its article number, while the chosen finish, size or door style determines which version is being discussed. Preserve the number as displayed text and keep the exact product URL and selected option with it. Do not merge two products just because they share a series name.

| Record | Capture | Do not confuse it with |
|---|---|---|
| Product article | Displayed article number, product URL, market and selected finish/size | A family or series name used as a unique product key. |
| Selected variant | The size, color, door style or other option actually shown | A nearby option from the same series. |
| Component article | Its own article number, name and relationship to the parent configuration | The parent listing for a multi-part furniture set. |
| Spare-part reference | The code label and assembly-document context where it appears | A sellable article number inferred from digit length alone. |
Represent a PAX / MEHAMN wardrobe as a configured parent and its parts.
An IKEA U.S. PAX / MEHAMN listing illustrates a furniture-specific catalog problem: the finished wardrobe has overall dimensions, yet the configuration also identifies frames, doors and interior pieces as separate articles. Keep the selected wardrobe configuration linked to those component articles, and keep separately recommended accessories outside the included-parts list.

| Catalog level | Useful relationship | Common modeling mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Configured wardrobe | Parent listing, selected finish/size and overall dimensions | Treating the PAX series name as one exact configuration. |
| Frame or door article | Component article number and quantity used by this configuration | Dropping the component identity into the parent's description. |
| Interior fitting | Drawer, rail or shelf article linked to its parent and quantity | Assuming every option in the series is included. |
| Accessory suggestion | Separate article and separate relationship label | Counting a recommendation as part of the purchased set. |
Keep the room dimensions separate from each delivery carton.
A wardrobe's assembled width, height and depth answer a room-planning question. Component measurements describe individual articles, while package measurements answer what must fit through a doorway or into a vehicle. Record each level only when the source displays it; a compact finished footprint does not reveal the length of a packed panel.

| Measurement level | Record when shown | Supports |
|---|---|---|
| Assembled product | Overall width, height, depth and selected configuration | Room-fit comparisons and layout planning. |
| Furniture component | Component article number and its own dimensions | Understanding which pieces form a combination. |
| Package | Package count and per-carton length, width, height and weight | Transport, storage and delivery planning. |
| Not displayed | Mark the value as not listed, with the checked page and date | Avoiding guessed carton counts or derived measurements. |
Treat IKEA availability as a dated store or checkout observation.
IKEA U.S. directs shoppers to use a ZIP code and product page for local-store stock, while delivery and pickup options are shown during checkout. Availability differs between stores and online orders, can change, and is not a reservation. Keep each result attached to the location and fulfillment choice that produced it.

| Observation | Preserve | Interpret carefully |
|---|---|---|
| Local store | Selected store, article number, exact displayed label and observation time | A store-specific status, not national inventory. |
| Delivery | ZIP code, selected items and checkout delivery status/options | Do not substitute a nearby store's shelf status. |
| Pickup | Collection location and the pickup option shown at checkout | Store stock alone does not confirm a pickup slot. |
| “Low Stock” | The source label and location; IKEA U.S. help describes it as typically fewer than five | A rough current label, not a guaranteed quantity or hold. |
| No result shown | Unknown/not shown and when it was checked | Do not convert missing information to out of stock. |
Keep assembly instructions and replacement-part codes beside, not inside, the product record.
IKEA U.S. help directs customers to a product's Assembly & documents area for instructions. Those documents may identify replacement hardware separately from the sellable furniture article; larger replacement pieces may not use the same small-part code pattern. Store the manual as a document associated with the relevant article, then retain a spare-part code with the instructions and part type that gave it meaning.

| Information | Attach it to | Why the distinction matters |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly PDF | The article or component page that offers the instructions | Documents can apply to one piece within a larger combination. |
| Small replacement hardware | The instruction page, part label and cited code | A code appearing in a manual is not automatically a catalog article. |
| Larger replacement piece | The named piece and product context, even when no code is shown | Absence of a small-part code does not establish absence of the replacement part. |
| Compatibility note | The specific assembly document and model context | Do not infer compatibility from similar names or matching digits. |
Check IKEA U.S. scraping terms before any collection plan.
IKEA U.S. Terms & Conditions, effective September 2, 2026, state in section 3 that an automatic device or manual process may not monitor, copy or scrape its web pages or content without prior express written consent from an authorized IKEA executive. The same section also restricts deep-linking. These are U.S. service terms; they do not establish rules for every IKEA market. This guide is not permission or a statement that an IKEA extraction service is available.

| Written consent | Must be express, prior, and from an authorized IKEA executive | Confirm the scope and allowed use before any work. |
| Other IKEA markets | Not determined by the U.S. terms summarized here | Review the applicable local site's current terms separately. |
