Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.

For twenty years we've slimmed down and increased production of LACK sidetable. That's kept both prices down and spirits up. During this time, LACK has also become easier to carry and assemble. And now you have even more colours and finishes to choose from - and new ones come all the time. All this means that you can match a classic sofa, a nice fruit bowl and a playful children's chair. And the entire LACK series comes in colours and shapes that match one another - and other furniture at IKEA!
