Are they antimicrobial? That's the big problem when cleaning with vinegar at safe solutions: it's an oil solvent but not actually antimicrobial, unlike just about every "traditional chemically-deri...
The only reason anyone claims to like these aesthetically is that they've been drinking the green koolaid. If these were made from scratch and for sale in some store they'd be roundly panned.
If everyone is having problems with the central beam, it might be worth reinforcing with braces as soon as you buy this? (Obviously carpenter's glue wouldn't fix it: you should have asked at your h...
It's solid birch: probably a more durable than most Ikea furniture. It's a slight upgrade from the futon aesthetic, which is the alternative at that pricepoint. So I say it's a win.
I can see the advantage of having space in between the cooking surfaces. In general corners in kitchens get wasted, so I support curved kitchens in principle. However, I can't imagine their manufac...
What amazes me about New York is that the poor supply creates both desperation and inertia which allows landlords to get incredible materials and labour investments from their tenants. I don't thin...

What's so great about the Umbra Metallica? It's just a metallic decal on a plastic can. It looks very cheap up-close.
This is a parlour trick, they don't actually leave the background like that.
Kind of a dumpy couch to go with the rest of the look, isn't it?

Remember kids: the energy required to build a new bath is worth thousands of tubs worth of water.
DIY? ;)
I love the idea of giving up duvets because it doesn't work with your bedframe. Talk about form over function!
Never unsteady but always falling over. These freak me out, I'd rather have 5 legs.

Oh it's just a rhetorical device, would you all relax? Do people actually dance at house parties in NY? How odd.

Douglas Coupland could rock this.

This reminds me of the soulless ex-wife's house from The Ice Harvest.
So is it actually possible to get such nice pieces of scrap, or did they probably buy whole pieces and cut them cup for some good old greenwashing?
Out here on a coast with plentiful driftwood, those would be seen as tacky: the sort of thing you decorate with when you can't afford Ikea.
I believe all Ikea sofas are made with particle/fibre board. Is it worth it buying sofas made of solid wood? What are the cheapest solid sofas?

What are the shelves made out of? The listing says "wood". Does fibreboard count as wood?
