For all I know they are specific. We are IKEA adictied, they have several sizes. I've done some furniture that style myself - every hardware store seems to have it's own. Enough parameters to play with.

Update try IKEA it's normal that pieces are missing (I think they like to force you back in the store) but they hand out spare parts.

If you have a hidden corner, a bracket and some screws ...
