What products are not worth buying from IKEA?

Furniture fittings

By ordering kitchen set in IKEA, do not rush to purchase handles for facades in the same place. A typical kitchen will become more original if you spend a little time and pick up an unbroken fittings in a construction hypermarket, furniture store or online service. It will refresh standard doors and make the headset less recognizable.

Budget sofa SVENSTA

If you study the reviews for this product, then it is likely that you will not want to buy the vending sofa. Despite its advantages (price, compactness and low weight), the design raises many complaints.

Users claim that the product looks cheap, the thin fabric tears quickly, and it is uncomfortable to sleep on the unfolded sofa. The pillows tend to slip out during use and deform after a few months.

FERGRIC series

The dishes are distinguished by excellent colors and relatively low prices. Plates of different depths can be combined with each other, making up your own individual set. You can also purchase a ready-made kit.

Unfortunately, the glaze on FERGRICK cookware does not stand the test of time - with daily use, the surface is covered with small cracks. Housewives who heat food in the microwave especially pay attention to this.

Square coffee table LAKK

At first, one of the most popular and budget IKEA products can attract with its laconicism. But having bought such a recognizable item, you are guaranteed to reduce the cost of your interior. Unfortunately, with careless use, the product quickly becomes chipped, and you cannot call it universal: for bedside tables it is too wide for magazine - too small.

Pluses: lightweight, well suited for a nursery or as a separate kitchen table for a toddler.

Light fixtures

A few more of the most recognizable items that we do not recommend purchasing for connoisseurs of individuality in the interior are IKEA chandeliers and floor lamps.

The design of these products is so expressive that it is associated exclusively with a showroom in a Swedish store. These lamps are actively used in public spaces, and are also ubiquitous in photographs in social media. networks.

Bed UNIDENT

By purchasing this inexpensive bed, you run the risk of acquiring a structure that will quickly fail. Many users complain about squeaks that appear over time, as well as frequently breaking slats.

The price of a double bed frame starts at 2,499 rubles, a central bar is attached separately to it. In addition to the frame, you should purchase 2 rack bottoms of 800 rubles each. and a mattress. Despite its dignity (made of solid pine), the bed is lightweight and can be easily moved.

In order for the product to stop creaking, users are advised to lubricate all the bottom guides with a paraffin candle (the effect of this method is short-lived), wrap the ends of the slats with electrical tape, cover the frame with varnish or oil immediately after purchase so that the tree does not dry out. If the bed is intended for a summer residence, where the temperature and humidity are unstable, it is definitely worth giving up the purchase.

Decor elements "like everyone else's"

Designers all over the world appreciate IKEA for its thoughtfulness, simplicity and style. They successfully fit the furniture from the Swedish company into the interiors, diluting it with original textiles, copyright paintings and design elements. But professionals do not use the recognizable decor from IKEA in their projects so that the decor does not turn into a set of stamps.
