This thread is to seek inputs from people who own IKEA products. Which do you own and what is your use case.
I will start..

Used below table, esp. by small kid for getting access to basin etc. Very sturdy and even heavy people can stand on it. Rubber feet helps in keeping it in place.


The famous KALLAX. Used for storing toys in their own boxes. Kids have easy access to the toys this way.



LACK Shelf - Used to make more shelf space in our bedroom. But I recommend people to check amazon for cheaper options. USP of this shelf is that it is thick and depth is great. If you have large LEGO TECHNIC super cars, this is a good shelf to buy due to depth only. If you don't want something so deep, get something else from amazon as it will be cheaper and you can get more than one shelf for 1 LACK price.


Pot Lid organizer which we essentially use as a utensils drying rack after washing. I find this my best purchase.



Touch sensitive LED light - I use this in my car, one for boot and one just above driver's seat. Touch is finicky so beware about that,


KLOCKIS Clock - Was an impulse purchase when I was in store. But very useful as bathroom clock.


Wife uses these to store sarees

 
So far, from what i have bought, ikea seems to make simple and good quality stuff.

Ikea Tomat - using this quite a bit for over a year and it works very well. Bought from amazon, IKEA i think has some kind of minimum restriction

Ikea tisken - Again bought from amazon almost two years back, mainly as a resting spot for a pet/rescue bird. It holds very very well on glass.
 
I've bought dozens of Ikea products but these are my favorite -

- The Duvet cloth is very comfortable, not the best but gets the job done.
- Marius Stool is one my best purchases, bought it 4-5 years ago. Very sturdy
- Tablet stand - also sturdy but not the best.
- Breakfast utensils - Quality is okay but looks very aesthetic.

Blahaj - Bought this as a gift for my niece. She didn't go anywhere without it. 10/10 quality,
Jall - If you iron your clothes this is a must have.
Tisken - Suction so strong the paint came off when pulled.
Slippers - Not so good. Better options on myntra
Lint Roller - Must have if you own a cat or a dog
 

Old fashioned articulated lamp. Mine is a bright yellow
 
Hoping to get non-fake batteries :
- PLATTBOJ Lithium battery, CR2032 3V
- LADDA Rechargeable battery, HR03 AAA 1.2V, 750mAh &1900mAh , read they are rebranded Eneloops.
- The charger is supposed to be quite good too.

I use plenty of these ikea batteries and their charger too , believe me when I say they are truly reliable and great and work for a long time
 
Use their French Press, Amazing Value for the price



Would've bought a lot more from them but they don't ship to where I live
 
Ladda rechargeable AA batteries https://www.ikea.com/in/en/p/ladda-rechargeable-battery-hr06-aa-1-2v-70506529/. They're low self discharge/internal resistance cells (apparently made at the same factory as the eneloop cells) and do match the capacity numbers they claim. From not quite discharged at 0.98v to full charge at 1.5v they soaked up 2381mah, of rated 2450mah. These absolutely destroy the trash Eveready AA cells at capacity, and anecdotally are better than Duracell AA non-rechargeable cells. Can't claim discharge numbers as I don't have a proper tester (yet).

Nimh cells are 1.2V not 1.5V
 
Nimh cells are 1.2V not 1.5V
That's the nominal voltage, similar to saying lithium-ion cells are 3.7v not 4.2v. Exact termination voltage of charging is somewhere between 1.5v to 1.8v (https://www.analog.com/en/technical...tc4010-ltc4011-nicd-nimh-battery-charger.html, https://eneloop101.com/wp-content/uploads/BK-4MCC-AE.pdf , https://eu.industrial.panasonic.com/sites/default/pidseu/files/downloads/files/id_ni-mh_1104_e.pdf). If left unconnected at full charge, they'll drop to somewhere between 1.4v and 1.5v.
 
Am using their pegboard and it's accessories. Helps liberating space from desk.

 
Ikea furniture is very popular and first choice here in HK specially with rented apartments. Some of items I am using;

To put in cupboard without shelves, gets job done really well.
