A few days ago, Ikea started accepting applications forms from those interested in a BoKlok property at St. James Village in Gateshead, UK.
For those who didn’t know, BoKlok is a new concept of housing that involves providing space-saving, functional and high quality properties at a price that enables as many people as possible to afford a comfortable home.
We bought an OLLE chair a couple weeks ago as an auxiliary chair for our bedroom. We chose the OLLE, because of it’s visual lightness and retro looks.
Even though it doesn’t look much comfortable, it’s one of the most comfortable chairs that we’ve tried at the Ikea store.
About the assembly, I don’t know if it’s supposed to have an assembly manual in the box but ours didn’t include one. It wasn’t complicated to assemble but the legs were kinda hard to stick into the structure (we had to use a hammer here) and then we couldn’t get the screws much deep into the holes.
That’s it, here are the ratings:
The almighty KLIPPAN love seat just got one more cover option. It’s called Skatelöv multicolor and features a green/blue/orange floral motif over a black background.
Personally I don’t like this one too much, I’d like more colorful and fresh motifs for the future KLIPPAN covers.
The Skatelöv multicolor cover is $49.00 alone, and $279.00 with the KLIPPAN love seat frame.
Ikea recently released this new dining chair called TOBIAS. It’s made in transparent poycarbonate plastic (seat shell) and chrome plated steel (leg frame).
Key features according to Ikea’s website:
Seat and back with restful flexibility; prevents a static sitting posture and enhances comfort.
Price: $89.99
I am sure you already know, or maybe not, that the Ikea Catalog is out with a lot of interesting new products.
The thing I like the most about the Ikea Catalog is the inspiring interiors that let creativity flow.
And you don’t need a lot of money to create those spaces, Ikea adapts to every budget.
What do you like the most about the Ikea Catalog?
Welcome to The Ikea Blog, aka TIB, a new place to talk about Ikea. I would like to talk about different aspects, such as Ikea hacks, discontinued products that we will miss, changes on products, new products, etc.
I also want to make a category called Ikea Spotter, that’s an easy one, so if you see any Ikea product on a tv show or film make a photo and mail it to me.
Don’t be shy and e-mail me proposing themes or sharing opinions and reviews on Ikea products.
