If you thought Ikea was just for undergrads and Chris Evans in The Materialists, you haven’t been looking in the right places.

Promising review: "Great in so many places, bedside tables (lengthwise) for a different, yet very useful orientation, behind the sofa grouped to create a modern visual masterpiece. Easy to assemble." —Mark

Price: $49.99 (available in two colors/finishes)

Promising review: "This is one of the best blankets I have ever purchased! It's merino wool, soft and warm, exactly what I was hoping for, and better... And it's huge! Not like those smaller ones that are common, that never cover the body. I just wish that there were more color options, like turquoise, and I would buy more." —Gordana

Price: $79.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "Great looking and simple. Screws not provided. Easy to install with pre-measured board inside kit." —Beatrice

Price: $89.99+ (available in eight sizes; also available in two other styles)

Promising review: "I purchased four of these and love them. Great quality, easy to build, and solid construction. The leather is nice quality as well. Very comfortable. Great price point for the quality of the materials and I’ve received many compliments on them." —Greg

Price: $225 (available in two colors/finishes) 

Promising review: "Precious stool! Ridiculously easy to assemble. Perfect size and shape. Great color pop! Using it as a plant stool." —Robyn

Promising review: "We bought this after moving into a house that is short on storage (one small coat closet). This wardrobe is perfect! It holds our everyday coats, PPE supplies, and winter hats/gloves/scarves, dog gear, and dog treats — all while looking nice and neat. We use matching bins on the open (non-hanging) side of the wardrobe, and everything is accessible, yet nothing looks cluttered or messy. This is one of the best purchases I've made. It did take a bit more time to assemble than I'm used to, but it wasn't a problem." —Jen

Promising review: "I’ve had this sofa for almost two years now and am so happy I bought it. It’s very comfortable, especially with the additional pillows you can use to increase the height of the back. I think this sofa is best for entertaining — the short back and deep seats make it good to perch on and have a conversation. One of my friends calls it the “conversation couch.” I’ve also had lots of friends sleep on it, and even though it’s not a pull-out sofa, they all have said it’s very comfortable. I’ve also slept on it several times. Living in a small one-bedroom apartment, I also love the storage spaces in the couch, and this is the main reason why I bought the Ikea version rather than an alternative brand. When one of the brackets on the sections stopped closing correctly, Ikea provided a replacement section quickly and easily." —Rose

Price: $1,775+ (available in nine colors/styles)

Promising review: "The table surface is actually quite sturdy — I expected it to be like a cheap, hollow board, but it feels very solid and difficult to scratch, etc. These go great with my Breuer Cesca chairs, and I wish Ikea would offer more tubular steel furniture like this in the future. The holes in the steel tubes are different sizes, etc., so pay close attention to the instructions, and you should not have a problem. I built two, and they're perfect." —Anonymous

Promising review: "This movable island was the perfect fit. The size and height are perfect. A plus is that we can easily move it from the kitchen to the dining area if we want to use it to serve food. The cart was easy to assemble. The only tedious part was fitting the ribs of the two shelves together." —Mikael

Promising review: "Do not sleep on this mirror! Installed it in my tiny main bathroom. It was easy to put together. I added the remote light control, as I like a dim light at night after putting my son down to sleep. The mirror and lighting combo blew everything else out of the water. I love that the light is not set into the mirror, which I think looks tacky when not turned on, and that there is lighting underneath the mirror. Since it sits close to my sink, it illuminates the faucet and the soap dispenser. I put this together on my own, but had the contractor hang it and connect it. This is so much more beautiful in person! I also love that there are mirrors on the back side, so you can see when it’s open, too. Would 100% purchase again." —Andrea

Price: $339+ (available in three sizes and three colors/finishes)

Promising review: "Great quality light, great price, and beautiful too! Easy to assemble and plenty of mounting options as well. The light output is perfect, too!" —Jacqueline

Promising review: "I've had this chair for a few years and have always found it to be very comfortable. I'm 5'9" and appreciate that it is a taller chair, particularly for breastfeeding. Not only is it comfortable for feeding, but the height makes it easier to stand up while carrying a sleeping baby. Add to that that after years of use, the only wear on it is from my cat pulling on the fabric. This feels like a chair we will continue to love for many more years. A really quality piece of furniture." —Tiffany

Promising review: "Love this little thing! It’s very sturdy and, for extra sturdiness, has holes on top to secure it to the door. Really adds a beautiful touch of mid-century modern type of design. (Installing it also helped me to discover a huge gap around my door, lol)." —Stephanie

Promising review: "This candle holder is right on trend! Use as a pair with different height candles. It modernizes your decor for such a low investment!" —Anonymous

Promising review: "You’d think there is no way the wooden backing would be comfortable. The surprise is that it isn’t just stylish — it's also comfortable. Easy to assemble. Easy to operate. A must-have." —Mia

Price: $329.99 (available in two colors)

Promising review: "I bought two Hovets, one for a landing on a dark stairwell, and the other to hang over a three-seater sofa in the living room. In both places, it instantly brightened and visually opened up the area. I was able to transport and hang both mirrors myself. I used a long strip of cardboard from the box to make a template for the holes and then taped the template to the wall… Worked great! The mirror is sturdy and reflects evenly, with no distortion in mine. The simple black frame gives off a modern vibe and updates my living room. My adult kids all liked the change. It’s a fantastic mirror for the price, and I am even thinking I might get a third one for the entry." —Andrea

Price: $169.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "I’m impressed with the quality at a great price. I will use this in my guest room to store blankets and pillows. It is very versatile and sturdy. The top lifts off rather than hinges, which I like. The natural finish is nice and perfect for my boho guest room." —Paul

Promising review: "I am always a little nervous when glass is involved, but this cabinet was packaged very well, and the instructions were fairly straightforward. I managed it myself (built it in the same room I wanted to place it), but it definitely would have been easier with two people. I'm very pleased with the wood grain and the warm color. Very happy." —Lana

Price: $370 (available in two colors/finishes)

Promising review: "It's nice to see the grain variations and colors present in a natural wood product. Brings a sophisticated touch to our laundry area, which is visible from the living area of the house." —Anonymous

Promising review: "I bought this shelf to install in the restroom in place of a cabinet. It looks nice and gives the room a bit more character." —Jacqueline

Price: $29+ (available in two sizes and two colors) 

Promising review: "We absolutely love our new modular. Feels high quality. After doing tons of research, I decided on this because of the warranty. No one else offered a warranty like Ikea." —Eunice

Price: $1,899 (available in four colors) 

Promising review: "I really like these curtains. They allow light to filter in, so they are not room-darkening, but I love seeing the morning light come through. I wear an eye mask, so no need for room darkening. Once ironed, they hang nicely. Recommend!" —Anonymous

Price: $89.99 (available in three colors)
