Is IKEA furniture expensive or affordable to most people?

Ikea is said to be an international home products retailer that sells low-price products, including furniture, accessories, bathrooms and kitchens at retail stores around the world. However, for some people the price is quite expensive. What do you think?
Answer: I believe Ikea has a lot of items that are cheap, but that doesn't make them affordable. They advertise that they are inexpensive because they use a cookie cutter process to make their items, but to me, a $1000 bedroom set is indeed expensive, especially if you'll have to buy another one in a couple years due to its poor quality. Yes, they have $5.00 lamps and $10.00 tables, but what good does it do your pocketbook to buy these items if they'll just break and need replacing?

How do I take care of my IKEA plants?

I bought several Ikea plants and I want them to last as long as possible, how do I take care of them? The plants are as follows: 1) Ivy 2) Cactus (Two..one tiny round and one large with lots of "arms") 3) Tall palm-tree like tropical floor plant (three in one pot). 4) Tree-like plant has three thick stems that intertwine to make one "trunk". 4) Unidentifiable generic house plant #1 5) Unidentifiable generic house plant #2 6) Unidentifiable generic house plant #3 7) Unidentifiable generic house plant #2 If you can help with any of these I would be greatful, I have photos of them. Does Ikea have a plant guide or anything? Thank you.
Answer: In general, except for the cacti, keep them in strong light, but not in direct sunlight (you can put the cacti there!); feed with a balanced fertilizer such as Miracle Gro for foliage plants. Keep the soil moist, but not wet; NEVER let your plants sit in water for more than an hour. Make sure that there's plenty of humidity in the air, especially around the palm; if you see the tips of leaves turning brown, the humidity is almost certainly too low. Conversely, if you see the stems or leaves going yellow, they're getting too much water. For the cactus, warm and dry is the important thing. Don't water very often, and NEVER let it stand in water. The plant with the intertwined trunks sounds a lot like a ficus benjamina ("fiddle-leaf fig"); it's not a fig at all, of course. They are VERY picky about how much light they need; they may also lose a lot of leaves when they're moved. Give them as MUCH light as possible without putting them in direct sunlight. They should all do well at the same temperatures that you like. The ivy in particular, if it's a pothos variety, will be very forgiving. Many varieties of pothos can be grown in water alone, but that's not necessary, of course. The directions above should work nicely. Good luck, and enjoy :-)

How do I install IKEA track lighting where traditional track lighting existed previously?

My apartment formerly had traditional track lighting, but now all thats left is a live end connector sticking out of the wall (not sure if its H, J, or L standard); even the track itself is gone. Im thinking of purchasing Ikeas "Termosfar" track lighting system to use at the same location but am not sure how to figure out what additional parts will be needed to install the low-voltage Ikea system into the existing infrastructure. Help! :-)
Answer: most light fittings , need a bracket , it comes with the light fitting , it will require you to instal lthe bottom bracket , then install the track, then the cover plate, very easy, make sure you use wire nuts i hope you feel enlighted lol

How long will IKEA cabinets hold up in a rental kitchen?

I want to use nice bright modern looking Ikea cabinets for a few apartment rentals. Most people go with Home depot chapie oak wood cabinets that look tacky and heavy in the space. Do the Home Depot Cabinets hold up better than the Ikea cabinets or can I get away with the more contemporary Ikea cabinets?
Answer: Particle board construction will not hold up very well over the long term. It doesn't matter who the manufacturer is. You can expect the cabinets to degrade drastically after about five years of rental abuse.

Has anyone experienced discoloration on their white IKEA leather?

I bought two white/cream Ikea leather chairs. The chairs are fine, but the leather seemed to get very dirty within the first week. Its almost like it is colors being worn off onto the leather. I have tried several remedies and nothing gets rid of it.
Answer: This could be caused by several things. Cream leather will always show the effects of dye transfer from clothing etc. This may give it a greyish blue tinge. If you have been trying 'several remedies' this could alos have done some damage to the finish. Leather, especially pale leather needs protecting with a fluorochemical water based protector (acts like a scotchgard) to help inhibit dirt and dye transfer and make cleaning easier. Once dye transfer has built up you will need a special cleaner to get it clean (Maxi Cleaner was formulated for this problem) the longer it is left the harder it will be to clean as the dye will travel into the leather finish. Unfortunately the Ikea cleaning products do not work as protectors so will not be effective to help with this problem. See this link for more info on dye transfer http://www.lttleathercare.co.uk/dyetransfer.asp If you are in the UK you can contact us for more help and advice if you want.

Why should we have to buy the bags to take home our purchases from IKEA?

Ikea charges customers in Europe for the bags. Now Ikea is forcing that idea on US customers. I refused to pay and was grudgingly given the bags for free. But first, the manager tried to rationalize the fee by saying: We do it in our European stores. Then he said Ikea wanted to encourage (force) Americans to stop using plastic bags in the interest of ecology. Finally, he claimed that Ikea was giving the money to an environmental group. Instead of paying for the plastic bags, we could buy an Ikea shopping bag and carry around Ikeas logo. Be honest Ikea, and admit you have found a way to make more profit, and get a tax break on a charitable donation. We dont need Ikea dictating to Americans how to conserve. I recycle everything; I drive a compact car. I turn off a/c at home even when I’m hot. I use biodegradable detergents and sustainable growth products.AND I recycle plastic bags! I can make my own decisions on how to conserve without being dictated to by Ikea. Can’t you? My point is I do not want to lug around a bag, especially if it is giving free advertizing to a business. My car is full enough of junk as it is. The new plastic bags are biodegradable. Besides, how many bags would I need to bring to take home some of the larger items? No, the goverment in not making stores do this. San Francisco tried to legislate it and it was resisted.
Answer: I'm with you. I hate the hypocrisy of companies who exploit the environmental issues while deceiving their customers. Only the foolish would really beleive all Ikea's advertising hype. Does it occur to people that American, and European, jobs have been outsourced to China, India, etc. Who is doing the outsourcing? Companies like Ikea! Sure, Ikea's stuff has nice designs, but it does not have the quality of American and European goods. This baloney about plasic bags is just another example of the exploiting of environmental issues to gain publicity and a (fake) good guy image. Someone compared Ikea to WalMart. It reminds me of when I told my Mom that my friend had an ever lower score on a test than I did. My mom reminded me that it was how well, or badly, I did that she was interested in! My friend's low score didn't make my score good. Yes, I can make my own decisions, like voting for someone who recognises how huge SUVs are increasing oil use and causing pollution, without the help of Ikea or anyone else.

Can you use a normal mattress and boxspring on an IKEA bedframe?

I have a queen size mattress and boxspring and I wanted to get an Ikea bedframe, but it looks like they sell special mattresses with them (that dont look all the comfortable) and I was just wondering if anyone uses a normal set with an Ikea bedframe or knows if theres a reason you wouldnt be able to? Thanks so Much!
Answer: Some of Ikea's beds do not fit standard bedding. Measure carefully. There is no one size fits all answer. Also, have you purchased Ikea's furniture before? You should know that it does not hold up well at all - to usage or even to the pasage of time. It warps, veneers pop off and chip, draws do not function.... The style is cool, but you can do better - at similar value pricing.

we are planning to remodel our kitchen with Ikea cabinets and appliances and would love any advice and opinions on them, Thank you. Also I would like to ask if anyone that has used them has children? Sometimes this can make a difference.
Answer: I redid my entire kitchen with them last winter and am quite pleased. VEry good bang for the buck. The appliances are mostly made for Ikea by Whirlpool anyway and I have always had good luck with that brand. I went to various kitchen contractor showrooms and inspected and priced a wide variety of options and settled on Ikea for the consistency of the finishes, quality of fittings, availability, price and ease of installation, most of which I did myself. I used the Nexus medium brown with the anthracite matte black slide in electric range, matching gas cooktop and rangehood, plus the farmhouse slide in sink and highrise satin stainless faucet with flexible pull out. Also did the laminate counter top, black-brown with the stainless edging. Everybody raves about how it looks and I love using it. Very well designed.

Does IKEA market their kitchen cabinets under different names?

Ive been shopping around for an apt in New York. I noticed that many of the new developments use cabinets that look just like Ikea cabinets. Same look, same construction, same hardware. They just use nicer fronts and countertops. But the name of the manufacturer is different on the little name plates inside. I know this because I installed a full Ikea kitchen recently. Are these cabinets really Ikea cabinets with the brand name changed? I would love to get to the bottom of this.
Answer: The manufacturers are getting supplies from similar sources and selling to different retailers. They all look the same because this is what has been popularized.

How long is an IKEA product in stores before it is discontinued?

Im wanting an item out of the 2010 catalog, but wont be able to get to an Ikea store to purchase it until this December. Will it be available until then? How long do they keep a particular item on their shelves before it is discontinued?
Answer: It depends on the item, how many of them they have on hand, and most importantly, how well it sells. Some things have been in their stores for years and others only last one season. You'd have to ask a manager there for their opinion on the specific product. They may not have an exact answer, but they should be able to tell you whether they thought it was selling well and if they had a lot of them in stock. Of course, just because it is selling well at that particular store, it doesn't mean it is all over the country. When I worked at Home Depot I could check the computer to see how many of an item any store had on hand (probably), as well as up to date sales data. December isn't that far away and its an Ikea, not a shoe or clothing store, so you are probably okay. But if you're that concerned, you should consider figuring out a way to get the thing sooner rather than later, because in retail, it's difficult for the overworked and underpaid sales people to know what the corporate officers are thinking.

IKEA - ?!?!?!?!?

I went to Ikea at the weekend for a Bin and spent £200 - i get my house on friday and i still have loads to get - i want to know how they do that to you has it ever happened to you?? xxx
Answer: It's because they have so much cool stuff! I went in for a couple of bookcases and came out with a corner cabinet, end tables, a coffee table and a CD cabinet as well as several little bits. However, in my defense, the closest Ikea to where I live is over seven hours away, so, I do have to make the most of my trips to Ikea.
