Ikea Leksvik Range

After recently discovering I was pregnant, my husband and I took a few trips to Ikea and other furniture stores, trying to find a nice set of furniture for the new nursery. We wanted it to be cheap, yet sturdy, and hopefully something a growing child wouldn't mind still having in their bedroom in 10 years time! After umming and ahhing, we decided on the Leksvik Ikea range. My father in law already has a few sets of free standing bookshelves in this range, and they have lasted many years - and look fab. The pieces already built in Ikea looked lovely, and the range even overlapped from 'adult' furniture into the nursery range - the cot being only £75!! ...  Read the complete review

We bought a wardrobe, chest of draws and 2 bedside cabinets in this range. All for under £500 now thats a real bargain. When i first saw this made up in Ikea i thought it looked expensive so I was very surprised when i saw the price and straight away i had to have it. The range is an antique pine finish. The materials its made out of include Solid pine, Stain, Clear acrylic lacquer. The backs of the wardrobes, drawers and cabinets are made from fibreboard.

The furniture can be wiped clean which is essential for ...  Read the complete review

We decided to take my father in law to Ikea on a bank holday weekend, he only wanted some chopping boards and a knife but we ended up bringing him back with a TV Cabinet from the leksvic range. Until him actually seeing it he had never mentioned wanting a new cabinet, so I suppose it must have impressed him. The cabinet is made of solid pine, not veneered chipboard as a lot of flatpack furniture and it is stained in a light oak finish some of the range is also available in a pale grey colourwash finish, nice if you want something a little brighter. It cost £49 which was more expensive than a lot of the other similar items we saw in Ikea but a lot better ...  Read the complete review
