Most of us love IKEA because they have amazing stuff at such affordable prices. Unfortunately, reasonable prices mean it’s your job to put most items together… and when it’s furniture, that sometimes feels like FOREVER! See which of our fave IKEA furniture pieces we located that require little to no assembly! I’m already sold. 😜

    As far as “no assembly” goes, I like the Marius white stool. I currently use them as plant stands, but have moved the plants to the floor when I need the stools for parties. Then they are extra seating or extra side tables on which to set a snack plate or drink. They are inexpensive, and stack-able. I plan to get more after finishing a move next month.

      Ooh! I’m loving those, Jessica! I bet they are super cute as a plant stand! Thanks a bunch for the suggestion!

  2. Holly

    I bought a tv stand from the ‘as is’ section. I painted it and have been using it for 3 years!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      How neat! Thanks for sharing your score with us, Holly! Glad you could make it your own for cheap!

  3. Corina

    I love a lot of Ikea, so it is hard to pick just one. In re guards to no assembly, the Vesken white
    shelf unit does not need any tools. it is a great price at $9.99. it is slim enough to go by a toilet or a washer and dryer, like where we have it.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      What a great find, Corina! Thanks so much for mentioning that one!
