Ikea Bedroom Furniture in general

I am a fan of Ikea in general and I think their bedroom furniture is fantastic. I have the Malm range beech wood bes frame and not only was it £99 for king size (which I think is a bargain!) but it is extremely good qualtiy - very solid and sturdy and it is stylish and attractive. I also bought the headboard and drawers (it a headboard that has drawers either side that slide in and out so they are hidden away - very clever) for another £99 and I think its fantastic. I also bought the matching chest of drawers for just under £80 and they too are solid and very well made. My daughters also have drawers from Ikea at a cheaper £38 each they are not as solid ...  Read the complete review

I just love Ikea Bedroom Furniture. I find it to be stylish, modern, sturdy, hardwearing and well priced. I love walking around Ikea and seeing the bedrooms all set out, they are always so stylish. There is a superb variety of bedroom furniture; the collections include beds, wardrobes, drawers, and storage, right down to tie and shoe racks. They have tall wardrobes, small wardrobes, practical wardrobes, and trendy wardrobes. They come in white, black, pine etc. etc. etc. My most recent purchased from Ikea was two set of drawers (sorry I don't know the name of them) They are deep drawers, well designed, sturdy, look great and get this- only £39 quid ...  Read the complete review

When you move into a new house you're always short of furniture, and when this happens the best place to go is Ikea. It's cheap with decent quality and you can take the item away there and then. When we moved into our new house we needed a bed, so we bought Malm bed. It's double bed in a fairly modern block shape, the bed went together very easily (why Ikea has a reputation for poor instructions I am not sure everything I have ever had from there has been fine). The bed is wooden slatted but one thing on this bed I like was the slats are curved so they curve up, giving you a far softer feeling and being less likely break the slats. This ...  Read the complete review

So, you've bought a house or thrown that falling-apart MFI cheapo desk away, and you're left with a bedroom to fill with furniture, what are your options? 1. Buy from a Small local furniture shop, where the Units are probably well built, but also very expensive. Any high street furnisher is likely to be at the top end of the reasonably priced furniture market in terms of the highest price tags. 2. Buy from MFI again - oops, they went skint. 3. Go to a Supermarket and buy "Value furniture" from the stationary isle - whilst cheap, far from good quality and extremely plain. 4. Get down to B&Q, buy some Conti board ...  Read the complete review

There are some habits that you inherit from your parents that you will always detest (in my case, stating the bloody obvious when conversation stalls, and rinsing dishes excessively before putting them in the dishwasher). But some you are proud to inherit. In my case, amongst other things, it's Paul Simon's early solo albums and Ikea furniture, notably mattresses and beds. I grew up, like many people, some distance from an Ikea store, so visits were perhaps annual and special events. Driving some two hours to the store, we would have a long list of big ticket purchases that we had set our hearts on. It was usually the case that we would arrive to find them out ...  Read the complete review
