    HÅLLBAR is THE BEST! I don't use it for trash but I do use it to store both dry cat food and dry dog food. Makes life so much easier to just pull it out, refill as needed, and lose kibble not be spilling in my cabinet. Love it.

    Ps… when I was in a high rise apt I didn’t have a garbage bin bc of the trash chute.

    i'm with you 1000% on reeded glass. i have some in my kitchen, and i love it; it's just a lovely look. The mirrors, however, are another story. i hate mirrors, because the last thing i want to do is see more of myself than absolutely necessary. We have two mirrors in our main bathroom and one in the second, and that's more than enough. And just a thought on the Eket -- i don't know how much weight they can hold, but the ones with a door could be used as a kind of pantry in a small space. And if they were arranged in an interesting way, they'd also function as decor; no one would have to know you're got your chicken noodle soup in there 😁 Great video, as always, DD -- and yes, more of these would be great. Ikea has so much to look at and you bring it down and make it manageable.

    I know Swedish pronounciation is hard non-speakers, but please do learn how to pronounce the letter Å/å. It's not A/a, it's kind of like "oh", but with the "o" as in how Santa says "ho ho ho", not as in "orange". It'd make a world of a difference for your Swedish viewers to hear that one letter pronounced correctly, trust me ;)

    @pruzzilla3771 2 місяці тому

    I bought three IKEA pieces and all of them are incredibly cheaply made. The sides are corrugated cardboard and painters tape will pull the extremely thin coat of finish off. I had to weigh out everything that was going on a shelf so the sides would support it. The doors on two units were so awkward and heavy that they had to be adjusted every time they were opened and closed. One piece was supposed to have a wood finished top--it was contact paper. For what IKEA costs, it is not worth the money.

    I've been growing up with Ikea, but I don't like many things as much now. The EKET looks cheap to me, like from a laundry room. I have a Besta cupboard. When I assembled it, I think I dropped a hammer on the floor of it. It puched a crate into the floor like it consisted of paper and air. The quality is not higher than the price.
    In general, Ikea show rooms look fuzzy to me, to much stuff, open shelving, small furniture peaces. And way too much white laminate.
