Nice display caseRachelI feel it is a little unsteady but once in place it is a good place to display small plants
GreatSandraWorks great for my needs.
Unique itemCarolI saw this and loved it! Big enough for three plants. Easy to assemble. I like that the tray comes out for cleaning. Highly recommend. The one that was on display had a lesser price of the one in the carton, but she honored that price.
Good for displaying figures, one star off for misalignmentC.I'm using this to display 1/6-figures, Barbies, and Integrity Toys dolls, and the height is more than ample. I knocked off a star because the section that's pre-assembled--the top and hinged front--is misaligned. The crooked gap is currently driving me to distraction, and I hope that in time I'll stop seeing it. The "greenhouse" top simply rests on the tray, is not attached to it. The most onerous part of assembly is removing the protective film from all the Plexiglas. Note that the hooks that hold the windows in are soft, so you can bend them and remove the sheets and strip off the film; note that the hooks are soft, so be wary of metal fatigue when bending them back and forth. The little pins to attach the front and top to the rest of the piece clearly hate humanity, but they can be wrangled into place, and it was all very straightforward. Would I buy another? Yeah. I just really, really wish the front, pre-assembled piece wasn't crooked, argh.
Purpose fulfilled for the qualityNataleeWhat a cute charming greenhouse for your small plant collection. Its not stable, however, its secured once in place.
$40 for weak structureLilyLooked nice in the store, but I didn't know the assembly was so shoddy. The base doesn't attach, but that's okay. The problem is the frame is held together by 4 plastic fasteners. You have to perfectly align the holes before inserting too, or the pins go in lopsided and falls out, then you have to pry apart with a knife. I'm also very dexterous with my fingers, but the amount of times I dropped these tiny plastic pins trying to get them in was annoying. A lot of weight is going to rest on those plastic fasteners every time you want to move this if you can't pick it up by the tray and it's extremely rickety. Might have to secure this with zip ties. I think it's unfortunate that at $40, IKEA can't afford everyone 4 tiny metal screws and hex heads. Will keep it for now, I want to see how long the fasteners last.
Works for what I want except needs improvemntsJillThe improvements; 1. The bottom tray needs to have away to attach to the greenhouse frame. This part is unstable. 2. Instructions should note a second person would be helpful to hold sides while assembling. Otherwise love the design and it can be multifunctional.
Cracked PlexiglassJudithI actually really like the product although I do wish it was sturdier, it bends easily because of what its made of. I wish I had read the product discription better & I probably wouldnt of ordered. It didnt cost that much so I am not that upset however the plexiglass on the right side & on the left front of the top portion are both cracked. Tried to find a place to just order those pieces but couldnt so I guess I am stuck with cracks.
Requires screws- not includedCarlaI am legally blind, and have been an IKEA customer for decades. I have noticed that in the last 15 years the quality of the fasteners, instructions and products themselves have declined. This product included plastic 'fasteners' instead of screws that secured the frame together. They are impossible to see, and to manipulate. I have NEVER had so much trouble with an IKEA product before. Because I cannot drive, I will not be able to return to the store anytime soon to return the item, or even go to a hardware store and spend more money to find a screw and nut to hold the frame together. In the meantime, this item is just sitting unusable, and I am feeling frustrated and depressed.
Just what I needed..RoyThe greenhouse met my expectations, especially the price point and easy assembly. So, I bought two.
Joyous humidityNathanielKeeps my plants damp
Cute and good value for priceRaeI bought both sizes of this. They look very nice and are great for protecting small houseplants from the elements (and cats!) I found the assembly easy, although having someone steady the sides while you slide the back panel of the into place is helpful. The only drawback is they're a bit on the flimsy side and the bottom is not attached in anyway, but for the price I think they are a good product.
It worksMernaIt’s not as sturdy as it looks from the picture. Easy to put together on a flat surface. But my cats have managed to knock it over twice already. But they work well for my plants so far and are nice looking
Fasteners are flimsyHaSo it’s been almost a year since my purchase and the top fasteners are losing its durability and the top plexiglass had loosened and the piece fell off from that. Luckily no damage to my plants yet though.
Would be great if it ever arrived not damagedKatyThis looks great and would be fantastic if it ever arrived not damaged. I order this and the first one arrived damaged with several broken parts. Contacted customer services and they sent another which arrived SO damaged I cant even use it. It took almost 8 weeks to get through getting the first one delivered and then replaced that I just gave up. Between the garbage with delivery and then the damaged product both times it was so disappointing and frustrated I didn't even bother contacting customer service again I just ate the $25 charge and gave up.
Love itJaimeEasy to assemble
Cute but….JenniferI like the way it looks and is perfect for what I wanted. However, getting the fasteners in was a nightmare. My hands are not very strong after years of being a scientist so pushing them in was difficult. Maybe consider doing human factors/usability testing.
Great for displaying things on the desktop TraciI use this to display my figurines. Very easy to assemble and a great value for the price.
ÅKERBÄR in WhiteYmYou get what you paid for. Can’t complain for the price if you are handy. One of the panels was missing a hole, the panels don’t line up well and two of the four pairs of fasteners broke.
If you are okay with that, it’s a bargain.
Future Mini GreenhouseJamieKnow that this is something that comes in a flatpack and won’t be up to anyone’s standards if you are thinking mini Milsbo. At the price point, it is worth the purchase and effort to make it unique and fully functional. I really like the tall height in the back with the slanting lid. My only complaint would be its sturdiness. You can absolutely tell it stays together with 2 push pins.
