ᐅ Survey on Ikea Furniture in New Homes – Cabinets, Upholstery, and More

That was not referring to the assembly service but rather to the subtle wording "IKEA or furniture store".

Sorry, that was not my intention....

Of course, IKEA is also a furniture store, but with the self-pickup warehouse it’s more like Aldi or Lidl, where the products are stocked on the shelves in their boxes.

IKEA does offer fairly affordable furniture, but I find their delivery and assembly service quite expensive, and those are not carried out by IKEA employees but by subcontractors.

“Our” furniture store delivered and assembled the kitchen free of charge, and after one year, an employee came to check if the doors and drawers needed readjusting.

Overall, the Nolte kitchen from a “different” furniture store was roughly the same price but came with more service.

And as I said, I really like IKEA furniture and would have gladly chosen a kitchen from there, but the price of the assembly service was unfortunately the deciding factor against it.

The assembly service is really expensive at 200 per meter. For us, that would mean 1,400 euros (approximately $1,500) just for assembly, which is too costly. We will have all the parts delivered for 25 euros (around $27) and then pick everything up ourselves and assemble it. Calling it a kitchen assembly party doesn’t sound so bad after all.

The only "challenging" furniture is an IKEA kitchen due to the large number of boxes. Every cabinet frame and drawer has to be assembled. Otherwise, with the Metod rail system, it has become really easy to properly install the kitchen on the wall. It was significantly more difficult with Faktum.

We outsourced the assembly of our last IKEA kitchen for one-third of the price through MyHammer, and the work was top quality. The assembly service offered by IKEA is outrageously overpriced.

Our current house is 2–3 km (1.2–1.9 miles) away from Ikea. Of course, we also have Ikea furniture in the house!

Kitchen from Ikea with delivery and assembly at unbeatable prices here. Good quality so far. Everyone who sees it says, “Wow, it’s from Ikea? Great.” Cabinets, shelves, bathroom furniture, lighting from Ikea. Table partly from Ikea. Garden furniture from Ikea except for the beach chair, which they don’t have. We like to buy there often and in large quantities. Karsten

Absolutely agree! We equipped our laundry room with METOD over the weekend – the rails work great!
Besides that, we have Pax wardrobes in the dressing room and a Malm bed.

There are also some custom-built furniture pieces from a carpenter. I always think a healthy mix is the way to go.

And a few times a year, a trip to IKEA is just a must – they sometimes have some pretty nice decorative items.
