Ikea chest of drawers - anyone got this?

Recommended Posts

Hi, just wondering if anyone can give me any feedback on


http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90239276/ (hopefully it links, it's the HENMES range)


Am thinking of buying for a childrens room, and can't decide between blue or white. The white would match better, but can anyone tell me what the finish is like (appears a bit 'plasticky'??, but so hard to tell from the web)? From the website the blue looks better, and I could possibly get away with it under the guise of "funky", but I do want there to be a lot of sleeping going on in said room rather than a total riot of colours!


Thanks!

We've got another product from the range in the white and its fine. One of the drawers doesn't run well but that could easily be due to our flat pack skills.

My neighbours have your chest in white in their girls' room and are pleased with it.

We've got a couple of hemnes chests of drawers and they look(ed) very nice but haven't worn well. 2 drawers broken on my boys' one and the bottom one on mine. Having said that we are v hard on furniture and they have certainly been overstuffed and badly treated!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
