The first sketches that Sarah and Henrik sent to each other eventually turned into prototypes that they continued to develop. “We flipped them over and looked at them from different angles, just like children do,” says Henrik. “That’s how we discovered a flexible solution where the same piece of furniture can serve as both a table and a chair in two different heights. If you combine several pieces, you get lots of opportunities.” SMÅSKRAKE is stable and safe, but lightweight and smooth enough to encourage independent play. “When we let children test it, they were just as unpredictable as you would expect”, laughs Sarah. “But, to be able to lift and move a piece of furniture on your own is both developing and important for a child.”

Toddler LOVES itMeganI bought this right after my daughter was born to use as a side table in her nursery (largely to hold my coffee and her bottle). Now that she is walking, she is DELIGHTED by her little chair! It's well made and so cute. AND it will continue to grow with her, because there's a taller chair option. I highly recommend!!
Great toddler chairCassandraOur toddler loves to use this as a chair and table (we bought two) super sturdy, also works as a convenient side table and footstool in our living room
Adorable NasdiraThe best! My two-year-old loves this chair.
Very versatile!TatyanaThis piece of furniture is very versatile and our grandson loves it! He can sit by himself on a "low" chair which is currently perfect for his height, or use "high" chair to sit his toys on or as a table to draw or play with small toys, and the side that was meant to work as a table we use as a step stool by the bathroom sink to wash his hands (of course with adult's "hug" around him for protection). As he grows, i'm sure he'll use it more and more.
Very good quality, smooth surfaces, sturdy and was easy to put together 👍🏻
The whole family uses it!IsisMy 6 year old is currently using it as a dining chair with our coffee table. It's perfect height for her to use and I know our baby on the way will get so many years out of it. My husband uses it as a foot rest/tv table.
There was no issues with the screws, they screwed in and beveled in just fine. Such a great product!
Screws are unsafe!!AdelineThe image on this mage shows the screws that flush against the chair but the real item has these awful screws that sticks out about 1.5CM making it unsafe for the children. WHO switched the screws? Not worth getting it if it’s going to hurt your child.
Great table chairTerryVery versatile and sturdy. The 2 year old likes to sit in it. The kindergartener flips it over and sits on the floor and uses it as a small desk
So cute and versatileAnonymous reviewerLove the pop of color on this Montessori-style chair/table. Super simple and functional. My baby, 11months, loves it although he's not interested in sitting much so far, he'll stand and play on the top or push it around. I'll probably buy a second one if it's still available in a year or two.
Perfect height for my 18 month oldYvonneFairly straightforward assembly once we realized the holes were different sizes on each side. The short chair side is the perfect height for my 30" tall 18 month old who is obsessed with sitting on things.

Story
For all little I-can-do-it-myself
SMÅSKRAKE may be both a table and a chair in one piece of furniture. But, when the children get to decide themselves, it can be almost anything. Perhaps a school desk, a shop, or a shuttle heading out to space.
“IKEA has throughout the years made many furniture in small sizes that children have loved, says designer Sarah Fager, who developed SMÅSKRAKE together with her colleague Henrik Preutz. They drew inspiration from several iconic children’s furniture that previously were in the range. “But we have constructed SMÅSKRAKE according to modern safety requirements, and it is the first piece of furniture we have made that is recommended for children under three years of age. This means that also the toddlers can join the play.”
Three pieces of furniture in one
Made for many years of play
SMÅSKRAKE is made of durable steel and light colored bamboo. “Bamboo retains its shape, is long-lasting and feels nice and warm to sit on,” explains Henrik. With the different heights, the combined chair and table is adapted to small bodies that grow at record speed, tells Sarah. “However, when SMÅSKRAKE eventually becomes too low and too small to sit in, it can be inherited by a sibling or a friend. And maybe it transforms into a car, a play hut or something completely different.

“For SMÅSKRAKE, we were inspired by iconic children’s furniture that have been in the IKEA range over the years. But we wanted to make it even more multifunctional. By twisting and turning the prototype, just like children do with things, we found a solution where the same piece of furniture can function both as a table and as a chair. When you combine several of them, there are lots of opportunities. We like the idea that there’s no right or wrong in how children use it."
