Ikea invented flat pack furniture or so the story goes...
Regardless, they are the number one flat pack furniture retailer in the UK. Their furniture is generally robust and will last if build properly and not treated badly. On many items the finish will wear away but on the whole you get a good amount for your money.
We have done specific pages on the main modular lines as below:
and list below some of the other popular items to give you an idea of assembly times. We have built pretty much everything they sell and know how long it will take to do it properly.
If anything is missing it can prevent installation. Whether you are collecting yourself or getting them delivered the two things you must always do is as follows:
- Check the packaging is in good condition. If it is damaged, assume the contents might also be damaged. If in store pick up one that isn't damaged or if being delivered tear it at that point to inspect the contents. Reject anything that is damaged it will only cause you a headache later on.
- Check you collect or receive all the necessary boxes. Don't just assume the delivery guys will deliver what you picked in store or that the Ikea team delivering the furniture you ordered online will deliver everything. If anything is missing you will have to chase it up. Ikea are good at replacing anything under £150 in value (over requires an investigation - as I write), but the delay may ruin your plans. You should have at least one box for every item on your receipt. Some items have more than one box, those that do have a coloured number (usually yellow background) on the box and in small print indicate whether it is box 1 of 2 or 3 of 3 - you get the idea.
- Hinges are always packaged separately for the pax wardrobes except for the corner pax wardrobe.
- Handles are always sold separately for the pax wardrobes except for the Vikdel mirrored doors, which include a half moon chrome handle.
- Pax wire baskets have runners packaged separately.
Look out for brackets missing off hanging rails, they can easily get knocked off, screws are stored inside the rail itself.

Had been let down by the Ikea assembly service so completed a contact form and was delighted that we could be fitted in so quickly - even had communication as Michael was travelling back from holiday!
Arrived on time, completed the job quickly and cleared away. Would absolutely recommend again!“

Fitter arrived in the alotted time. He introduced himself and asked which room. I was concerned about lack of space but suggested we move the bed and we did. He asked about where I would like the furniture placed , I explained and that was it, I left him to get on with the job. He was done in no time at all. I had a wardrobe and two chest of drawers assembled.
Brendan the fitter was great!!. The price charged was fair and overall it was a great service. I would definitely use them again.“
