"Many of us get lured into IKEA with a promise of flatpacks and Swedish meatballs and end up leaving with kitchenware we didn't know we needed. As it turns out, some of those items are better to avoid buying. All those model kitchen displays give you the illusion that, if you just have these accessories, your kitchen will be complete. And so the stacks of cheap kitchen goods beckon."
"This dinnerware collection consists of plates, saucers, and various sizes and shapes of bowls, as well as mugs. They're all stoneware, with a glaze that makes them look a bit rustic. However, their wear tendencies make them perhaps too rustic for some. IKEA's stoneware dinnerware, like the Färgklar line, is easily scratched and tends to get black marks on it. These scratches and marks happen from using utensils with them."
Many shoppers are attracted to IKEA by its flatpacks, Swedish food, and appealing kitchen displays, but several kitchen items have recurring problems that make them worth avoiding. Customer reports highlight six specific products with frequent complaints ranging from minor and fixable to complete failure and damage to other kitchenware. Some items do not perform for intended purposes, and some product lines have deteriorated over time. Consumers praise many IKEA kitchen solutions, yet attention to durability and wear — notably with stoneware that scratches and acquires black utensil marks — can guide better purchasing decisions.
