Consumer Reports Gets Behind This Stylish IKEA Home Office Solution (And It's Under $200) - AOL

Consumer Reports provides consumer guidance beyond product testing, including advice on finding low prices, identifying top brands, and understanding recalls. Staff members also share personal recommendations for products. The team selected 15 favorite IKEA items, including the LILLÅSEN bamboo desk priced at $160. The desk supports up to 110 pounds and has a desktop measuring about 40 by 19 inches. Reviewers value its simple design that fits different office layouts and styles. Despite its compact size, it can hold a laptop stand, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. IKEA customer reviews are largely positive, with many praising its appearance and buying multiple desks for different rooms.

"Consumer Reports provides advice on getting the lowest price on appliances, how to find the best brands for cars, and information on recalls, too. Sometimes, rather than relying on testing scores, staff members at Consumer Reports share their personal recommendations for products. The Consumer Reports team recently picked their 15 favorite products at well-known home furnishing and household item retailer IKEA."

"One of the sturdiest items that made the list was the IKEA LILLÅSEN bamboo desk ($160), as it can support up to 110 pounds of weight with a desktop that measures about 40 by 19 inches. Considering premium home office desks often start at $500, the compact LILLÅSEN desk is one way to make your home office cozier on a budget."

"The Consumer Reports staff member who selected the LILLÅSEN desk for the list of best IKEA products appreciated that its simple design fits well with different home office layouts and design schemes. Even though it's small, it's also functional, as it can support a laptop stand, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. "It's small enough that [it] has fit well in three apartments," the CR staffer said."

"About 94% of IKEA customer reviewers gave the desk a four- or five-star review. The customer reviewers at IKEA gave the LILLÅSEN bamboo desk the highest rating in the category of appearance. One IKEA customer reviewer bought multiple LILLÅSEN desks to place in different rooms because of the complementary style that it offers. "We have five desks in the house, and three of them are this one," the IKEA reviewer said."
