Review of IKEA benches

The Dutch IKEA group of companies offers a wide range of high quality and multifunctional furniture, characterized by a variety of designs. Each buyer will be able to choose the option that will satisfy all his needs. In this article, we will consider the range of IKEA benches and the subtleties of choice.

IKEA is a renowned manufacturer of high quality and stylish furniture. The variety of products presented is quite large, but today we will dwell on the benches in more detail. IKEA pays special attention to the selection of raw materials in the manufacture of benches. The main material is wood. The company does not use raw materials that are produced illegally. All wood is supplied to the company exclusively from certified forestry.

In addition, the company uses recycled raw materials. Wood is an environmentally friendly material, which is one of the main criteria for many buyers.

Durability and reliability are the indisputable advantages of IKEA benches. Initially, teak wood was used for the manufacture of furniture, but its quantity is rather limited. But in 2000, the engineer of the company Ove Linden, working in Malaysia, noted that acacia wood has excellent properties, so it was decided to use this wood also for the manufacture of benches, although earlier this material was used exclusively for the production of paper. Acacia wood attracts attention with a very beautiful color, which has a lot in common with the shade of teak. Today the company fully controls the supply of timber - from plantation to factory.

It is worth paying attention to the model variety of benches. For children, options are presented in bright colors. But for the kitchen or hallway, products in natural colors are optimal. Product sizes may vary. Usually, large benches are purchased for spacious rooms, and compact models for small ones. Quite often, box benches are bought for rooms with a limited area, such an element helps to significantly save space.

It should be understood that a product made from natural materials (wood) cannot be cheap, but it will serve you for many years, and will not break down after a few months of operation. The disadvantages include a small selection of colors.
