Materials

If desired, such furniture can be easily restored. The only drawback of this material is the price. Wood today is quite expensive, and not everyone can afford to buy furniture from this material.
- Chipboard. This material is considered a cheap analogue of wood. It is made from sawdust by gluing them with special resins. Considering the fact that Ikea uses only high-quality glue for the production of this material, it is safe for health. Chipboard is a fairly cheap material, but it has a number of disadvantages. It is not processed, in addition, this material is very afraid of moisture and, in contact with water, can swell and lose its appearance.
- Plastic. This material is also used in modern furniture models. With this material, Ikea creates glossy surfaces in its furniture.
- Glass. Ikea often uses glass to lighten the appearance of the walls. In most models of walls, glass has a matte or tinted coating, which protects the contents of the shelves from prying eyes.
- Metal. Shelving frames in modular walls are made of this material. This makes the structure quite reliable, which will withstand increased loads.
