Ikea for the dorm

[Sheetsfaced]

Is that still a popular thing for college kids these days?

When they see the prices yes. When they see the assembly instructions...

I never found their instructions hard. But we have lots of kitchen stuff from Ikea. Lots of small things, some linens, etc. Do we have sofas and stuff? No. But they have some good values for sure!

Considering how low-profile Ikea products tend to be, they have to be considered for dorm rooms.

I hadn't been to Ikea in years, we went with our daughter a couple months ago and it has really really gone downhill. The one in Atlanta.

I had to rebuild an Ikea item for my mother years ago. I added some glue and a little reinforcement, it wasn't designed for the weight she had in it, it's still in good shape now.
From that I learned to always add some glue when putting together Ikea items.

Yep. I've had an IKEA bookcase in my office for 13 years. Zero issues. Their drawers have been solid as well.
