Wouldnt buy this for 18$ (plus tax?). But its 7.99€ (tax included) at my Ikea and would make a nice gift for people who enjoy this style, so dont mind if i do buy it.

Postmodern reindeer, it’s a cute piece of design and it’s really clever the way they got it together with almost no waste.

More and more I’m reminded of the bobs burgers ep where Tina and gang were selling the sticks of wood

I think it’s cute but I like Scandinavian design. It’s not for everybody.

Yup more shit to fill your hosue with and eventually throw away. Theyre VERY good at marketing this stuff to bored people

This is peak "millenial Beige/minimalism" taken to the absolute extreme. It's so ugly, what were they thinking?

Cheap shit it may be, but the premium price seems...US related as its 7.99€ (tax included) in other regions of the world.

I didn't know this reindeer existed but IKEA is selling lots of art
They even have Sonos Speakers for your wall where you can put art shades in front of it, so it looks like a piece of art on your wall, but it plays sounds!https://www.ikea.com/us/en/new/looks-like-music-sounds-like-art-pub5b5d6c50/
But apparently they don't sell them anymore?

This feels like, we have all these extra wood pieces so let's put them together and see who will buy them.

IDK, I checked some photos online and it looks like a single board project, pretty neat if you ask me.

Ikea: here's a useless piece of shit made from a dead tree
Also ikea: here's actual furniture made of plastic and cardboard that will fall apart in a year

u/Mitchford 10h ago
If your stuff is falling apart after a year the issue is you. I’ve not bought a single piece of ikea furniture that I don’t still have or at the least sold to someone else who had plenty of use for it still. Only thing that ended up in a landfill was a water logged mattress due to an ac leak

Right, I can see see someone liking it. If anyone doesn't like it, they can just ... I don't know? Not buy it? Is that even an option?
