IKEA Lack - Making up for our distinct lack of nick-nacks.
Review of Ikea Lack Wall Shelf Unit by
BNibbles
Advantages: Simple neat solution. Easy to put together
Disadvantages: Too much temptation to small children to 'climb' it? Not as white as I'd have liked
“De-clutter” seems to be our (or more precisely, my wife’s) watch-word lately. Having just given our lounge a well-deserved makeover, we resolved to make sure that every nick-nack, every picture, every plate had to justify its place in the new ‘regime’. G ...

Debenham's Lola Bonded-Leather Sofa-Bed
Review of Debenhams Torino Two Seater Bonded Leather Sofa by
wildflowers47
Advantages: Neat, nice-looking, easy to keep clean. Good sale price.
Disadvantages: Poor quality mattress. Feet not as described. Worry it will tear easily.
Bought this in the sale for £400.00 (down from £1,000.00), so it was a bargain.
When we inspected the first sofa-bed that was delivered we saw that it had had a small tear on the arm so had to return it for replacement.
The second one was OK -except th ...

A Veritable Tower of DVDs
Review of Ikea Benno DVD Tower by
vialdana
Advantages: Sturdy CD/DVD storage, not too pricey, and easy to put together from flatpack.
Disadvantages: Prices vary according to colour, you do need an Ikea nearby to get one.
Ikea divide their products into 'ranges'. The Benno range includes DVD towers and TV units, but is designed to work alongside another of their ranges the 'Billy' range - which is bookcases etc. This Benno DVD tower is the same height ...

Great value storage solution
Review of Argos Maine Extra Deep Bookcase by
Gingerkitty
Advantages: Sturdy, extra deep, low units, good if you're short on space, inexpensive
Disadvantages: None
I own two of these bookcases, and they were bought as a storage solution when I first moved into my previous house. I was living alone, and could only afford somewhere tiny, so it was a bit short on storage space and had a spiral staircase in the living r ...

Lovely beanbag but it goes squishy
Review of Zap Faux Leather Beancube by
randy_edith
Advantages: They are versatile and comfortable and loved by the cat
Disadvantages: None but they go flat after a bit
I have a lovely Zap Faux Leather bean cube in my house. I paid £10 for it about four years ago and I sued to use it as a footrest. Then, when I got my youngest cat, Pud, he decided it was ‘his’ chair and special place to lie and now he gets cross if I t ...

This table lacks nothing
Review of Ikea Lack Coffee Table In White by
Sarahjh1
Advantages: A great everyday table
Disadvantages: Nothing major
We have a mammoth Ikea store a few miles away and I have to admit that I find it fascinating to visit. The other half steers well clear of the busy furniture store, he finds the crowds difficult to tolerate. No matter what time of day you go there seem ...

Lacks for nothing
Review of Ikea Lack Coffee Table In White by
michelley26
Advantages: good quality for the low price
Disadvantages: looks typical Ikea!
We've lived all over, we tend to move with my husbands job. Occasionally we've rented rather than buying as we've known we wouldn't be there for too long. The last place we rented was unfurnished, I always insist on unfurnished as I don't want to sit on a ...
