Hi there!

After a glance of the new Stockholm 2025 pieces on site I must say I am not too impressed. Of course the design is nice and the materials slightly above Ikea average... BUT it is so unoffensive and "understated" that it is back to boring. And still, even with the higher pricepoint, not excellent. Eg the dining table looks nice from afar but upon getting closer you just see it is thin (!!!!) veneer on the tabletop. The table lamp with the textile shade and stone foot looks very chic but the recess on the top (where to golden rod peeks through) is fraying. Also this lamp has its very own byakorre moment, being held on hold because of quality issues (and or customer expectations not being meet). The wool carpet (dark white orange pattern) feels super itchy and coarse to the touch - I wouldnt want to walk on it even with socks on. The other wool textiles (longish pillow cases) feel very thin, as do the throw plaids (orange or blue), very very flimsy. Finally, no surprise sadly, a not so small amount of the collection is not avaible yet (in my home country) upon todays release. So, I was looking forwarde to it but ended buying nothing, because either price-quality felt not quite right or pieces being unavailable. What are your experiences with Stockholm 2025?
