Reviews

Hard to BuildMichaelI've been building Ikea furniture for 20+ years and the Eket is by far the most difficult to get together. The system they incorporated to put together the sides is very difficult to attach. It requires ALOT of muscle strength and force. The system to put the drawers onto the track was also wonky and not sturdy. 1
Sleek and Improved HardwareChristopherThe mounted cabinet was easy to assemble and the new and improved hardware and soft closing made for an easy install. The finish is easy to maintain and doesn’t show fingerprints. The template included to mount it made things a breeze. Love how the system is modular and I can add as I go! Will be purchasing more.5
Looks greatElitaPurchased this to go on top of two Eket squares. Easy to put together and looks great. The plastic piece that goes across the back of drawer was a little confusing but I got the hang out if. The pictures for that part were a little unclear but overall easy to assemble.5

Makes a great benchKristiWe put two of these side by side to create a clean, modern storage bench. The touch latch drawers means no handles are needed keeping the look sleek.5
It is a cabinet.SilviaIt not only looks nice but it is of good quality.5
Not worth it!MiriDrawers are not stable enough to stay aligned correctly. I began using the drawers & they started misaligning & becoming crooked its so noticeable. Very disappointed considering this piece was expensive, seeing how it is malfunctioning. I really wanted to love this piece since it comes in a nice color but now very disappointed.2

GarbagePhillipI should have known better than to trust IKEA with a complex drawer mechanism. Listen to your gut people.1

Nice little 2-Drawer UnitAdrianI combine these with the EKEt cubes with drawers. They're easy to assemble, easy to use, look great.4
Buy drawers somewhere else!DaraOnly buy these drawers, or anything else in the EKET series if you have no will to live. These are the most poorly-constructed pieces of furniture I’ve ever encountered. I’ve assembled shelves & drawers & greenhouses & headboards… I’ve never seen anything like the poor design of these. They all require you to connect 3 sides of the shelf/drawer, then slide a flimsy backing piece into a recessed groove in the sides. Logic would say, the final piece must feature a recessed slot, to accommodate the sides, & be nailed on, like most furniture, right? Nope. The final piece has protruding knobs that you have to slide into holes in the other panels’ sides. Against the direction of the backing. But how, you might think, if the back of the piece is already attached, can I slide the final side on? Exactly. It doesn’t work, & if you make it work, you’re left with a backing piece just sliding around unsecured. Who approved this design? Why would anyone think this makes sense? Save yourself.2
Difficult to assemble and mount.RyanThe only way the last side could be attached was to cut the corners off of the backing. This did not hurt the aesthetic. It was just a pain. I was unaware that I needed to purchase a separate kit to mount this to the wall. The mounting kit does not come with mounting screws and recommends a professional to pick out the screws and install for you. Overall, this was the most obnoxious piece of IKEA furniture that I have ever purchased.2
Easier to assemble than I expectedPaulI was worried about assembling sliding drawers, but it was much easier than I expected.5
Hard to assembleCynthiaThe video shows a woman easily snapping this item together. Not that simple! It is hard to connect the pieces and I’ve had to use a hammer and some cardboard to whack it into place.3
I love it, fits perfectlyDornerI love it, fits perfectly in the bottom of the closet5

From grandfather's fishing boxes to playful storage

When product developer Petra Kammari Enarsson was a young student and often moved, she used to furnish her apartments with old fishing boxes given to her by her grandfather who lived on the west coast of Sweden. Years later, when Petra was developing the new EKET storage series, those boxes came to mind. How could she make the series as flexible as the boxes?

New technologies, new hobbies, a new family member ... both small and large changes affect life and people's needs at home, especially when it comes to all the things that we need space for. Petra Kammari Enarsson is a product developer at IKEA and often visits the homes of customers to experience their everyday living and how good storage can make life at home a little easier. She remembers a family in Copenhagen which expanded every other weekend with the daughter from a previous relationship. ”She didn't have her own room, but the family had a solution where she had a loft bed in the living room and her private things were in a chest on the floor”. Petra thinks it's a good example of how more and more people are living in small spaces, and that a large part of everyday living takes places in the living room where we want things to be both practical and stylish.

Flexible furniture for new needs

Another obvious trend around the world is that many people move more often - just as Petra did when she was young. ”The problem is that a lot of storage furniture is so inflexible – upon moving or new needs arising, they can't be adapted. This means storage isn't optimal and it's difficult to keep track of all your things”. These insights inspired Petra and her colleagues to start looking at a more flexible and personal storage solution – something that can easily be updated so that people don't have to buy new furniture as soon as something in life changes. Petra then started to think about those fishing boxes she had when she was young and which were so easy to stack and move as needed. What if you could make a piece of furniture which consists of various smart modules that can be easily moved around, removed and added to?

Building with blocks

Petra and her team started by ordering cardboard boxes in various sizes. They took the boxes to different room environments where they moved them around like building blocks – stacking and combining them in various ways. The team also researched detailed facts about storage: on average, how many magazines do we have at home? What’s the ideal height for people to put down their mobile phones? ”Many of us put keys, telephones or bags in a specific place when we come home. We usually do it automatically, without thinking about it”, says Petra. The height that seems to suit most people is 31½", so a shelf at that height was a given in the mix of shelves, drawers and cabinets in different colors and styles that eventually became the EKET storage series. ”I'm so pleased that we chose to prioritize playfulness and freedom of choice with all the colors and sizes of EKET”, says Petra, who's looking forward to visiting more homes. ”I think that the customers will find lots of exciting combinations that we haven't even thought of!”.

Material

What is constructed board?

We use constructed boards when manufacturing many of our pieces of furniture, such as tables and wardrobes. They are light yet still stable and strong. Each board has a frame made of chipboard, fiberboard or solid wood, while the inside is a honeycomb filling structure made of mostly recycled paper, which is extra durable thanks to its special construction. The board is then covered with a protective paint, foil or veneer depending on the style wanted.
