IKEA seems to be getting into a lot of mainstream success these days, and that is simply because of their mission to provide luxury quality furniture to people who are thrifty & budget conscious.  We have to say that their formula for success indeed works, because even we get to appreciate the products that they have to offer.  However, don’t think for one second that you can’t use them any other way apart from what was originally intended.  If you’re a life hacker or a DIY-er kind of person, you just might find these tips quite useful, thereby solidifying the reputation of IKEA products as truly reliable for multiple occasions.
