I like ikea furniture. Simple and practical. I stopped buying from other furniture shops when they either insist me to take the display unit or wait for new units from their factory. And don't know how long to wait.

Ikea ones. We can plan,  can measure accurately what to put where. Assembling part,  not my problems. I pass it to my husband. 🤭

I'm currently trying to makeover my old place,  which I abandoned many years ago. I  have a few book cases and some cabinets from ikea. All white colour, still in good condition.

Most of them I bought 15 to 20 years ago.

I only remember throwing away 1 broken chair. The rest all  still can be used.

Now,  I'm thinking using what type of paint to refurbish them.

Anyone here,  repainted your ikea book racks?

okie la fair enough. Yesterday while i was browsing around I managed to revamp my idea and the cost has dropped significantly. I think i will just pay them to assemble as well.

For my small place,  ikea ones are good enough.

Currently the house I'm staying now,  use mostly solid wood. 👍

I'm looking for some nice sideboards and computer desks.

Of course the first place i browse is Ikea. But i find that they can get quite pricey and on top of that i have to heave the boxes and assemble them myself.

Do you all have any furniture shops recommendations in KV? Don't give me high-end shops la, no budgets, something in between middle would be perfect. Fully assembled.
