apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That first dining set looks cool, but when i checked it out at the store i found it way too small, especially too low to the ground. It feels like sitting at a kids table, and i'm only 5'2". Too bad.

Thanks Renata,
I wanted to know what someone thought about how short the table set was. Has anyone seen pictures of this used in a real space? I would love to see how it looks around regular-sized furniture.

I absolutely love Ikea and all of the products we've bought from them have been great, but I have to say that table set (Fusion Table & Chairs) isn't the best quality! My husband and I saw it online and loved it, but when we checked out the floor model in the store, it was flimsy. The chair legs were uneven and rocked a little, and the entire set looked kind of cheap and poorly made. We were really sad because the design is awesome and it would have been a great space saver! Sorry to be a downer...just wanted to send out a word of caution!

That table is just too small. Seeing it online and seeing it in person makes a big difference. D: I prefer the Lokka folding table. It's 59.99 and can expand or collapse easily. And it's still simple cool.

Even next to other IKEA products in the showroom, it looks like the kids' table set.

I was soooooo taken with this set a couple months ago... but there's no way I could have sat in the chairs. You need to be both short and slim.

This is an item that looks great in the catalog/online etc but in person it's cheapily made and poorly designed. Which is unfortunate because it's a clever idea.

My friend just got this table and chair set and it looks great in her apartment (she doesn't have all teensy stuff), and she loves it. I never thought it was too short. The quality seems fine--Ikea quality--if you know Ikea, you know what you're getting.

My friend has the table and chairs set, and though they're cute, she finds it only works for two diners.

That table looks great online and on the catalog. It feels flimsy and cheap upclose, the backrest isn't confortable, the legs are too thin, and even worse, the seat is the most unconfortable thing on earth, which is bad since ikea doesn't sell thicker cushions for it. At 300 dollars, you're bound to get a better deal in the same store.
