For bargain hunters, there is an "As-Is" section in most IKEA stores, where you can get bargain-priced furniture that has suffered varying degrees of damage, from imperceptible dings to bashed-in drawers. There are lots of choices for all the rooms in a home: dining furniture, living room furniture, home office furniture, and furniture for children's rooms is available at different price points and quality. The furniture is relatively easy to assemble, and you can even find pieces that don't require tools for assembly. Efficient packaging makes it easy to transport. IKEA is also paying more attention to sustainability and making their products greener. For instance, the brand has banned PVC from its products, and reduced formaldehyde from lacquers and glues. The company is also using and looking to increase the use of new and sustainable materials. There is always something new, but some affordable favorites have endured over the years: The Poang armchair has a layered and glued bentwood frame of birch. The chairs have enough give to make them comfortable. The cushions are available in fabric or leather. The Lack series, with side tables and coffee tables which come in many different finishes, have also been popular through the years.

Read More »An IKEA store is hard to miss with its distinctive blue and yellow coloring and sheer size. A single store carries everything you need to furnish a home: from furniture to kitchen cabinets, to lighting, down to brushes for washing dishes. Since IKEA stores strive to present the same shopping experience at all their locations, you can maintain a single strategy for shopping at any IKEA. You can find a lot of information about their products, including dimensions, colors, prices, and availability at your local store or online. This allows you to decide beforehand what you will be buying once you get there. If you show up without making plans, you can spend an eternity in their labyrinthine showrooms. Once inside, you can spend a lot of time just looking around without being bothered. The displays make it easy for customers to visualize using the products and almost everything that you see there is for sale within the store. Customers have access to measuring tapes, pencils, and notepads to jot down information, including the aisle number and shelf number, which makes it easier to locate their furniture in the self-serve warehouse. You can purchase the furniture and take it home with you right away. If you prefer, it can also be delivered, but make sure to check out delivery charges. (For large deliveries, IKEA charges a flat-rate fee.) To find an IKEA store close to you, visit the IKEA Store Locator. If there is no IKEA store in your vicinity, you can shop online. Remember: IKEA provides reasonably priced, attractive furniture. It gives you a chance to explore your preferences, especially when you are not ready to invest in something that will last for decades to come.
