Ikea Staple! Malm Dressers
This Malm dresser seems to be the answer to all of our problems: plenty of room, affordable, and easy to assemble (well, as easy as one can find Ikea furniture to assemble). You may be wondering why we aren’t recommending this on a to-buy list, but rather suggesting against it. That is because the company was forced to recall several million Malm dressers after they fell due to being unstable and killed around eight kids in their fall.
Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, the dressers weren’t made to adequately do their job, got imbalanced, and fell over, with tragic outcomes. Ikea settled with the affected families and now sells wall anchors with the dressers to prevent such tragedies again. Even so, we suggest steering clear of them as you can never know, and not all of us want or can drill holes in our walls just to anchor a dresser.
Spring Mattresses
One thing people love about the Swedish retailer is their affordable prices, which is extremely true for their mattresses, as even for a king-sized one, it comes up to around $1,000, making it one of the most budget-friendly mattresses out there. However, when it comes to this Ikea spring mattress, we advise you to not give in to the amazing price.
People online who have tried it or even people who test mattresses have all shared their reviews that this mattress is not worthy of even an average review. A lot of them scored it lower on their lists, mainly due to the fact that it sags excessively in their opinion. Depending on what your situation is, maybe opting for another type of Ikea mattress is a better alternative.
