Swedish furniture chain IKEA<\/strong> is at the center of critics because a recent study found that some products’ prices have skyrocketed in Canada<\/strong>, and other review also found a similar situation in its UK locations<\/strong>. According to a recent report by Retail Week<\/em> magazine, Ikea prices have experienced a significant increase due to rising transport costs, which have been affected by global inflation and fuel prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigher costs have affected the global economy, and like many retailers, we have had to adjust our prices to mitigate the impact to our business\u201d, their spokesperson told Daily Hive<\/em> when asked. \u201cPrice increases vary across the range and from country to country. In Canada, we continue to monitor the situation<\/strong> and aim to continue offering quality, sustainable home furnishings to our customers at an affordable price\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

IKEA’s prices going crazy<\/h2>\n

Back in the United Kingdom, there have also been strong increases in the prices of the most popular IKEA products. \u201cWe are not immune to the macroeconomic developments that businesses, retailers, and the public are currently facing, from the increased cost of materials and transportation to the war in Ukraine and inflation,\u201d a spokesperson from Ikea told the UK news site Metro.<\/p>\n Interior of the IKEA store in Ottawa, Canada. \u00a9IKEA\n

Some IKEA Canada products that have experienced price hikes this year<\/h3>\n

We’ve found tens of products, sold in the Canadian locations, that now are more expensive than the last year. Here are a bunch of them.<\/p>\n \u00c5MSOSEN gel memory foam mattress\n

\u00c5MSOSEN gel memory foam mattress.\u00a0Price increase: $200<\/h3>\n

This mattress (which I have already bought it once at IKEA) had one of the best value-price ratios) but went from $699 to $899 between June and September 2022.<\/p>\n BEKANT desk sit\/stand\n

BEKANT desk sit\/stand. Price increase: $90<\/h3>\n

This white 160\u00d780 centimeters desk was $489 last year which, for me, was already expensive for what you get. And now, it’s sold for $589, according to IKEA Canada’s site.<\/p>\n

BRIMNES bed frame with storage and headboard. Price increase: $110<\/h3>\n

It is one of the beds most liked by customers, because it offers storage drawers under the mattress. It also has holes to hide lamp cables and electronic devices, which makes it appear clean to the eye. Today it is sold at $609, but before September it was for $499.<\/p>\n BEST\u00c5 storage combination with doors\n

BEST\u00c5 storage combination with doors. Price increase: $150<\/h3>\n

This beautiful office furniture, with open shelves and elegant doors, went from $375 to $575 this year.<\/p>\n BEKANT, Storage unit on casters by IKEA\n

BEKANT, Storage unit on casters. Price increase: $115<\/h3>\n

According to the price analysis site Price Dropper, this small piece of furniture climbed from $199 to $289 in September. But, if you go directly to the IKEA Canada store you will see it even more expensive, at $314.<\/p>\n PO\u00c4NG armchair by IKEA\n

PO\u00c4NG armchair. Price increase: $30<\/h3>\n

One of its most outstanding and bestselling designs has been the PO\u00c4NG chair, but it would have to be seen if with the price increase from $89 to $119 in May 2022 it will continue to be one of the favorites of customers.<\/p>\n STRANDMON Armchair by IKEA\n

STRANDMON Armchair. Price increase: $80<\/h3>\n

Un 2021, IKEA blamed the COVID-19 for the price hoists, and now keeps blaming international situations to keep rising its prices (now that the pandemic is not as complicated for the world and the last two years). The STRANDMON chair is one of the victims of inflation. The price went from $299 to $379 from January to May 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
