5 Ikea products you should avoid
Ikea has established itself as a beloved brand for stylish and affordable furniture and essentials as one of the world’s largest home-goods retailers.
In recent years, the Swedish retailer has experienced impressive growth as it continues to expand into new regions and territories. Today, it has over 300 stores in 38 countries and is a popular destination for people looking to furnish their homes while also munching on some of its famous meatballs.
However, given Ikea’s vast product assortment, it can be difficult to find the best deals. With that in mind, and with the assistance of numerous expert reviews and blogs, here are 5 products you should avoid.
1. Malm dresser from Ikea
The Malm dresser is notoriously dangerous, and it has been recalled several times over the years due to numerous reports of young children being crushed to death when the drawers tipped on top of them. This one should be avoided at all costs.
2. There is no coffee table.
Though it’s difficult to find someone who hasn’t gone through the “Ikea coffee-table phase of life,” most reviewers advise avoiding the Lack, which is said to be slightly wobbly and prone to falling apart.
3. spring mattresses from Ikea
Ikea’s mattresses may be inexpensive, but Cheapism advises that you look elsewhere. Cheapism’s Latham wrote, “Ikea’s spring mattresses rank lower than average in consumer satisfaction, and owners complain about excessive sagging.”
4. Wardrobes for Pax
While you’re at it, Cheapism advises against purchasing the Pax wardrobe, which it claims has “tricky assembly, an inconsistent finish, and misaligned pieces” and is “unlikely to survive a move.”
5. Myskgras blanket
The Myskgras comforter, while inexpensive, is universally disliked by reviewers and bloggers, who say the “fabric is scratchy, the comforter shifts around too much inside of its duvet cover, and the fabric proves to be far from durable,” according to Ashley Moor of Best Life.
