Wanted: Handles for HEMNES commode [Vevey]

Did anyone else buy HEMNES commode in IKEA? I got mine in white and it has black handles (see picture).

My overly aesthetic nature can not stand this discrepancy If anyone got black one and wants to exchange white handles for mine or to sell them to me, let me know.
I already asked at Ikea and they said the white one comes with the black handles, and there is nothing to do abt it... ((

Re: Handles for HEMNES commode

I've got black and it comes with black handles. Black handles on white looks fine, what a perverse aesthetic nature you must have to think that anybody would sell the black one with white handles!

Re: Handles for HEMNES commode

Charlie R. Soles, thx for recommendation. Will do.

fingercrossed, I'll try to reply to you without descending to your level of personal remarks. They have several different commodes in this HEMNES series - see link
http://www.ikea.com/ch/fr/search/?qu...ting=relevance
and some of them indeed come with the matching handles (i.e. black to black, white to white). Apparently, you have one of these "matching" ones. - see link
http://www.ikea.com/ch/fr/catalog/products/70121249
However, this particular one comes as it is - black handles to white commode, white handles to black commode. - see link

Re: Handles for HEMNES commode

You could also try glass ones.. Or plastic ones that look like glass instead of white ones..

Re: Handles for HEMNES commode

you could also try the 'spare parts' at the IKEA customer service desk. If it's not a 'fault' with the product, you might have to pay, but it will only be a few franks for your peace of mind...make sure you take the ones from your current model so you can check the new ones are exactly right

Re: Handles for HEMNES commode

Or you could take off the existing handles, lightly sandpaper them and spray paint them white, let dry, repeat if necessary and put nice, now white, knobs back on again.
