As a cabinet maker…you can be creative with your repurposed furniture…but you can never make it turn into real wood. And so your going to be throwing it all out for sooner than you otherwise would, unless your into bent and warped structures, peeling plastic lamination, and moisture swollen MDF. My suggestion is that if you’re going to do this, splurge on the more expensive IKEA line, some of which are made of real wood. When real wood warps and bends after years of going through seasonal moisture changes, it can actually be fixed rather than thrown out. You save money in the long term. But when you buy things that are cheap and are made of MDF, and such, you think you are saving money, but these things will find their way to the garbage much faster, and so the cost is higher in the end, because you buy another one. Think about quality natural materials when you buy. Saving your pennies to do so in the beginning is worth costing you more long term.
IKEA is affordable option. I got my sofa bed, Wardrobe x2, study table, a very sold heavy dinning foldable dinning table,, kitchen cabinets, sink, with around 2000 CAD only.
I like the metal and silicone in the kitchen section for projects. The smart home stuff is great as it uses zigbee protocol so you don’t need the ikea app or gateway.
Any second-hand store will have solid wood pieces and not garbage particleboard
Ok Google, how to build a house from IKEA parts.
More like finding a plot of affordable land instead.
Ikea is not cheap any more... their price has more than doubled since covid...
I'd say they are still somehow cheaper then alternatives which is nuts
Personally, i would go with wayfair. Its similar but cheaper
I have an IKEA near to me and i genuinely enjoy shopping there.

Exactly! Why are they not flagged for "paid promotion"
This was all about promoting the downtown store! 🙄
Of course, what else would China promote? Pregnancy?
