Solid but doors are tricky to alignAnonymous reviewerVery solid and robust (bought to be cupboards under a bench in my studio). But the doors are tricky to align.
Would definitely recommend Anonymous reviewerEasy to put together, real solid cabinets, have brought 4 of these so far
Versatile IVARAnonymous reviewerA greta product used for alcove built ins. Painted up beautifully so pleased with the result
Wood is full of holes - can we please have a response about this!Anonymous reviewerPurchased and assembled a full Ivar unit, with cabinet - only to find (as others have mentioned) that the wood panels for the cabinet were full of filled circular holes, which ruined the aesthetic of the cabinet. None of the Ivar unit shelves are affected, just the cabinet. I returned the cabinet, to find the next one had the same issue - staff were very friendly and helpful, but unable to advise why the wood was of such bad quality. Sadly, no one was willing to escalate this as a quality control issue when I was in store.
Note, the doors were fine, so it's clear that some good pieces of wood can at least be found for the front parts of the unit...but the sides and insides look bad. Can we please get a response from the IKEA team, this is not what I'd expect from you, and it's sub-par quality. I love these units, so don't want to return all the other Ivar items. Can anyone @IKEA help/advise/comment? I really want to find a good cabinet to fit.
Worst product I've had from ikea.Anonymous reviewerThis was horrible to put together, it absorbs whatever finish you put on it and becomes bumby no matter how many times you sand and refinish and if you use the legs it becomes top heavy and falls over so NEEDS to be secured to the wall. Didn't find this out until AFTER I'd nailed the back onto the unit so I then had to make a hole in the back of the unit to allow the wallbracket to be fixed to the unit. Would not recommend this unit!
Great, versatile cupboardAnonymous reviewerBrought for storage in a home office and we love them. Painted blue to match with decor they look stylish and modern. Easy to assemble with movable shelving and a really reasonable price. They’re strong and hold a lot too. Great product that I would strongly recommend.
Poor quality, poor customer serviceAnonymous reviewerThe holes for the wooden pegs were not in the correct position making assembly impossible.
A stressful hour and a half was spent on live chat which went nowhere. Eventually through email I was offered 15% damage discount which I refused as I didn't feel that reflected the poor quality, time and petrol to drive to the store to buy the item, and cost and time of applying wood sealer etc. I was then told because I had applied sealant the 'damage discount warranty' was void!! What a joke. How can Ikea sell unfinished wood items and not expect the customer to seal or paint before assembling. Really poor quality for the price. Also issue with folding table bought at the same time.

IvarAnonymous reviewerSo glad they were in stock finally as we had been waiting for months to get them. Just what we needed.
Fine pine cabinetAnonymous reviewerAll good
Like it!Anonymous reviewerPerfect for a space we had, look good together with shelf unit. Lots of plants makes it even better. Happy with it!
Bathroom storage solutionAnonymous reviewerPerfect storage solution for small spaces once stained or painted.
Great storageAnonymous reviewerWent for the large unit for much needed storage. Lots of previous reviews mention the gap between the doors... however you just adjust the hinges. Lots of knots in the wood so if you are painting you need to prep these first or they'll show through.
Wrong size from factoryAnonymous reviewerThe product is shorter than the 83 cm advertised so it doesn't fit the frame and its holes. It is impossible to make the doors to close properly.
Doors don’t fitAnonymous reviewerI was so excited about this cabinet. I’ve pained it beautifully to match the other pieces in my kitchen. It took 2 days and after all that work I put it together and the doors don’t fit. They are not large enough leaving a sizeable gap between them, more than 1cm, where you can see inside the cabinet. I’m crushed. I put so much work into it and it just looks sloppy and poorly made.
Perfect and adaptable storageAnonymous reviewerI bought 2 ivar cabinets, love them x
Ivar cabinetsAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble took hubby a couple hours, bought three of these for my daughters bedroom, love them only bugbear the gap in the middle,
Flexible cupboardAnonymous reviewerIvar is great for transforming as you wish. Paint it, stain or varnish or leave as is. Put legs/handles on. Only gripe is gap between doors so one can see the shelving. Plus it is almost impossible to have get to doors perfectly straight. Always a little wonky but nothing one will notice in the end. All in all, great solid wood product for a food price.

Material
What is solid wood?
Solid wood is one of our favourite materials and is part of our Scandinavian heritage. It is also a timeless material with many uses. Regardless of the wood species, it is durable, beautiful and renewable. We strive to use this raw material as smartly and efficiently as possible to avoid waste – and we also invest in facilities and logistics so that we can increase the use of recycled wood.
