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 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!

I've bought two of these. One in my current flat and one in the spare room I use when visiting my parents. Both I've had for around 5yrs and are still in A1 condition. Robust, decent and good looking furniture. They hold loads as drawers are quite deep. Can't go wrong in my opinion.

      A lot of this is down to why the high street came into being in the first place  consumer demand  And now times has changed and consumers behave differently.  And businesses adapt to that.  It’s a bottom up approach as opposed to something imposed upon us.   It’s not to my tastes. But what do people expect to happen.  Jazzer is on to something when he says boycott Amazon - but the reality is even many who boycott Amazon choose other or more ethical alternatives. But still online  going into town for “a shop” just isn’t what people do anymore  Yeah but that’s not a real comparison. And “for ill” glosses over a lot of wrong as well  but we live in 2025 now and any of us oldies who think when we were 20 was the best time ever, a time we should go back to are just pining for our youths  there is no country in the world that can turn back the clock.  So in 2025, where is the closest vision of somewhere you would like.  Because if you look globally you don’t just get capitalism.  You can choose dictatorships or communism too

      Kramer is great, met her a couple of times.  Told her the story of when she ran for Mayor and didn't attend a community event as she didn't want to spoil Ken (Livingstone)'s love in.  Amused me and her no doubt

      Large supermarkets, the big shop, not relying on mum getting the bus into town, longer opening hours, end of price controls and other restrictions.  All affected the high street well before the internet.   Rye Lane is still pretty buzzy.  Loads of independent shops.  Modern life is not always rubbish
