Advantages: Huggggggge Range, Loads of products, good quality finish, easy to build

Disadvantages: None at all.

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 and build it yourself? - Enough said in most cases.

That pretty much leaves Ikea.

Ikea is undoubtedly, the best place to buy furniture at a reasonable price in the United Kingdom. Not only that, it also has the best selection of designs, the best methods of furniture display, the best delivery service and a range of colours and accessories that will blow your mind - what more is there to say? Oh yes - you can even eat your lunch there.

Ikea bedroom furniture is at the cutting edge (no pun intended) of furniture design, and most of Ikea's bedroom range has a named designer, who is often Swedish. It is very easy to put together, is made of good quality wood (although not solid wood, it is of a higher grade than MFI's cardboard) and just generally, Ikea offers some very impressive products.

One of Ikea's best pieces of bedroom furniture is the Pax wardrobe system. If you decide to invest in a Pax wardrobe, you have the ability to pretty much customise it to how you want it. You can put the units together in batches, they are available as single, double, and I think even quadruple wardrobes, each individual wardrobe is available in like three sizes according to the wall space you have available, and it's also available in a range of colours.

When you buy a Pax, the frame is pretty much standard across the range (obviously with all of the different options listed above), but the wardrobe doors are where you can really be creative. I personally went for the Pax Vikedal doors, which are solid glass mirrors with little handles. They are absoloutely fantastic sturdy doors, which double up as giant mirrors - fantastic!

The furniture is easy to put together, usually it's a case of screwing screws into a panel, then putting down the next panel ontop of those screws and tightening some nuts. The back is hammered on with tacks provided, and probably the most difficult part of the construction is fixing it to the wall, which isn't really that bad, because Ikea provides an easy mounting mechanism.

I also have an Ikea desk, though for the life of me I cannot remember what it is called. That was even easier to build than the wardrobe and is absoloutely fantastic, I love my desk!

I cannot recommend Ikea Bedroom furniture enough, in my opinion, it is the obvious first choice when you need to restock your bedroom.

Summary: Definately the best reasonably priced bedroom furniture on the UK market.
