Tips for making your furniture last longer

Fix it if you can​

A minor repair or adjustment may be all you need to get a wobbly chair, table or sofa back into action. For smaller spare parts for IKEA products, you can order online. Saving you the cost and effort of replacing the furniture.​

Oil the wood you have​

A well-maintained wooden chopping board can last for years. Regular oiling can prevent warps and cracks, and save you having to buy a new one. A long-term friend for you and your wallet.
