Materials of IKEA chairs and stools

The furniture will fit perfectly into any interior and will be an excellent addition to a single image. Stools are most often made of plastic, metal, wood, and some other artificial materials.

The advantage of the IKEA store is that here you can choose furniture for different budgets.

On the modern market you can also find many models made of plastic. They differ in the following properties:

light weight;

Ikea has foldable models so they can be easily stored in the pantry. There are many different design options that will fit into any interior. The texture can be smooth or patterned. The plastic product comes in a wide range of colors.

Even cheap chairs from Ikea are optimal in terms of price and quality.

Recently, rattan products have become increasingly popular. They are made from vines woven together, which will fit perfectly into a country house. Such chairs are characterized by durability, reliability, and safety.

They have a very long service life, and they will always look status-worthy in the interior of a kitchen or dining room.

DIY step stool

In this example, we will show how a small number of boards can make an excellent stepladder-chair. We chose a folding model due to its increased functionality and simplicity of the device.

The stepladder stool consists of the following parts:

seat;
support post;
ladder;
connecting strips.

The most convenient and reliable design is one with the following dimensions:

the distance between the strings of the stairs is 48 cm;
the maximum distance between the bowstring and the support post is 60 cm;
seat height – 60 cm;
seat dimensions – 30x50 cm.

For comfortable use of the ladder, two or three steps are enough, located at a distance of 15-20 cm from each other. From the floor to the bottom step and from the top to the seat, the distance is also 15-20 cm.

Seat

We will need 5 cross slats and 2 base slats. First you need to treat the surface so that the wood becomes perfectly smooth. Then the slats are fastened together. At a distance of 5 cm from the edge, lines are drawn on both sides, and a groove is made using a cutter, the width of which is slightly less than the thickness of the base slats. Next, the transverse bars are fixed to the base slats. For structural strength, the joint is glued. The finished seat is shown in the picture below.

You can also make a seat from two boards measuring 150x500 mm each, which are attached close to each other.

Support part

To make the supporting part, we need 5 slats, two of which are guides, two provide horizontal connections, and the fifth rail serves to increase the strength of the structure by connecting the guides at an angle.

All connections are made using dowels. To do this, holes are drilled at the ends of the slats, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the dowel. Matching holes are also made in the rack-racks. To ensure the strength of the stool-ladder, the joints are glued. The end result was the back of the stepladder.

When installing the support post, you should remember that the distance between the guide rails must be such that the seat support rails can be secured between them.

Making stairs

Please note that the flight of stairs will be fixed at an angle, and the steps must be positioned strictly horizontally, so the grooves for the steps should be made at an angle. To determine the angle, it is recommended to assemble the structure without steps and without connecting rails on a flat surface. Set the distance between the string and the support post to 60 cm and, by adjusting the angle of inclination of the structure, ensure that the seat is positioned strictly horizontally.

If necessary, reduce the length of the bowstrings and support posts so that the seat height is 60 cm. Now the structure must be secured using connecting rails and the lower ends of the bowstrings and support posts must be cut at the desired angle. Next, mark the position of the steps and make recesses using a router. If you attach both strings to each other, as shown in the photo, you will clearly see the symmetry of the grooves for the steps.

The width of the steps is 44 cm, and the depth is 15 cm. The grooves for fastening the steps should have a width slightly smaller than the thickness of the step. Fastening is done using glue and self-tapping screws.

Installation of stairs

To assemble a step stool you need to connect all the parts together. Final installation is carried out in the following sequence:

the ladder strings and support post guides are attached to the seat. The upper ends of all slats must be rounded, otherwise they will cling to the seat when folding the structure;
the slats for connecting the ladder and the support post are fixed at one end on the bowstrings, between the seat and the upper step, the other ends are fixed in the middle of the support posts.

The finished stool-ladder is coated with three layers of varnish. It is recommended to cover the steps and seat with a large number of layers. It is important to know, the durability of the product will depend on this.

In order for the staircase chair to serve you faithfully for many years, it is recommended to periodically update the protective coating during operation. If there is no need for the ladder at the moment, it can be folded and hidden in a dry, warm place. Try not to leave the product outside, especially in damp and cold weather, which has a detrimental effect on the structure of the wood and will lead to premature damage to the stairs.

Colors and sizes of stools and chairs from Ikea

Ikea has a huge selection of colors for arranging stools and chairs. Popular ones include blue, red, yellow, white, green and others.

Absolutely any IKEA chair will look great in a Scandinavian-style interior.

Dimensions of a small Ikea wooden staircase

In everyday life there is often a need for a low ladder of two or three steps. Since such small extension ladders are not produced due to extreme instability, they are replaced by transformable stools and stepladders. Ikea presents variants of such solid wood structures with the “bekvem” and “molger” models.

Ikea “bekvem” consists of two designs: a stepladder 63 cm high with three steps made of beech and a stool-ladder 59 cm high, 43 cm wide, 39 cm deep, made of birch.
