IKEA LACK Coffee Tables: Designed to Match Your Living Room

IKEA first introduced coffee tables amongst other furniture items in 1948. Today, IKEA is the largest furniture retailer, thanks to its system of flat packing furniture and utilisation of recycled wood. The LACK in LACK coffee tables refers to a design series IKEA developed consisting of wall shelves, media stands, storage, tables, and desks.

What colours do LACK coffee tables come in?

IKEA LACK tables were developed so that customers could match their furniture with other neutral-coloured pieces from the same series. They are available in three different colour options. They can be purchased in:

  • White
  • White stained oak
  • Black-brown
Materials IKEA LACK coffee tables are made of

They are lightweight because the exterior of the LACK coffee tables are made from particleboard, fibreboard, and plastic edging, while the interior is made from a honeycomb paper filling. They are finished with printed and embossed acrylic paint. Embossed acrylic paint helps by providing a protective finish to the wood, as well as offering it with some extra raised texture.

The texture helps emphasise the beauty of natural wood by mimicking a wood grain pattern that looks very natural. The material makes them lightweight for easy manoeuvrability. However, despite their lightweight, they can hold around 50 kilograms.

Do IKEA LACK coffee tables come assembled?

IKEA LACK coffee tables will either be assembled or require assembly depending on if the product is bought, used, new, or in "as is" condition. Used tables will usually come already assembled, courtesy of the previous user. Unused tables will usually need assembly.

If you would rather not assemble the item yourself, services like TaskRabbit have people come out to do the assembly for you, so you don't have to worry about it. "As is" condition refers to a product that could have been new but was already pre-assembled by IKEA. This is rare. They are pretty easy to assemble, and you can find either YouTube videos online or the original directions if you lose your copy. Each model may have a slightly different procedure, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

A unique feature of IKEA LACK coffee tables

One feature of IKEA LACK coffee tables is that they can be stacked to help conserve space in your living area. By purchasing stacking adapters, you can turn them into shelves, a desk, or even take up less room when being shipped. Stacking adapters are a popular option and can be purchased separately.
