I was once convinced to spend over $1,000 on a desk chair. And to be fair, the sales associate made a decent point: you spend just as much time in your office chair as you do on your mattress, so why not invest the same amount of money in both? It's an honest argument. However, a chair and a mattress aren't exactly comparable, and price doesn't always dictate quality.
Shopping for budget-friendly furniture that's also stylish and durable is a daunting task, but not impossible - as long as you know where to look. We're talking, of course, about IKEA. Although it's an obvious choice, IKEA is as popular as it is for a reason, and it should be at the top of your shopping list if you're looking to save on a larger furniture item that otherwise would be a huge investment.
In a video posted by Brad Canning on TikTok, the IKEA GRIMSARBO is on full display. It's a small pedestal-style side table that features a plywood top with a small hole cut in the center of it. When you use your finger to lift up the top, you'll find a small but mighty storage space inside, perfect for hiding a portable phone charger, remote controls, small electronics, or any other clutter you want to make disappear.
