Ikea is warning customers that major supply issues will last through next year.

It’s already clear that product shortages have hit actual Ikea stores, as some customers have taken to Twitter to talk about their shopping experiences. “I ventured out to Ikea as I wanted a Ribba frame and a small bedside table. Both items sold out. Was surprised at how many items are not in stock,” one person tweeted Oct. 13, noting that staff acknowledged backed-up ports were the reason. 

Other customers have complained about the wait time for certain products to come back in stock. “Why the Ikea shortage? Been waiting 2 months for my rail to be in stock,” one Twitter user said. Another tweeted, “Went to Ikea yesterday and was looking for drawers for a cabinet I got. They said it was gonna be longer than 4-5 weeks before they’re gonna get a new shipment in. YIKES. This shortage is crazy.”

Several of the retailer’s most popular items are also listed out of stock online.
