The Classic IKEA Furniture Item That'll Never Go Out Of Style, According To Bobby Berk

When you're looking to furnish your home on a budget, IKEA can be a great choice for decent quality furniture. Typically, the pieces that they release are more minimalist in design, which can be great when trying to add this furniture into your own design aesthetic. And it seems as if interior designer and former "Queer Eye" star Bobby Berk agrees.

In a video shared to TikTok, Berk headed to IKEA to show off what he considers to be the best finds in the store. Among his favorite pieces was a TV unit with storage that he considered to be a classic piece that will never go out of style. The TV unit is part of IKEA's STOCKHOLM collection, which is all about affordable pieces that are stylish and modern. In a newsletter, the Creative Leader for the collection Karin Gustavsson said, "craftsmanship is at the heart of this project, where traditional techniques and hands-on methods have resulted in durable and beautiful design pieces that stands the test of time."

The specific piece Bobby Berk was talking about is the IKEA STOCKHOLM 2025 TV unit with sliding doors in an oak veneer. This TV unit allows you to hide your cords and other techy gadgets, while also being elegant. This piece also features feet that adjust so that it can remain even no matter what your floor is like. Plus, there are shelves inside the piece that can be moved to make this a more customized storage option.

What to know about the STOCKHOLM 2025 TV unit from IKEA

According to Bobby Berk, this piece has "lots of storage and its the perfect height for a flat screen." There is one shelf on each side of this unit, which offers more versatility when it comes to getting things put away under your TV. With the sliding doors, it also allows you to hide things that take away from the design of your room. This unit allows for a TV that is up to 88 pounds, and considering a 50-inch LCD TV weighs between 25 and 40 pounds, you can go bigger if you want or be secure knowing your TV is not too heavy. And at just over 22 inches tall, you have a TV stand that is just the right height for enjoying a movie while lounging on the couch.

With an average rating of 4.4 stars, this TV unit is getting high marks from IKEA shoppers. One review stated, "we are in love with this TV stand. It is drop dead gorgeous! It looks like high-price designer, but at an affordable price." Another reviewer shared that, "I love everything about this console. It was super easy to assemble. The material doesn't feel excessively cheap, and the overall build is good quality and sturdy, especially for the price point." As both reviewers pointed out, for the price, this is a great unit. At $399.99, the STOCKHOLM TV stand is a solid piece for anyone looking to invest in furniture that is meant to be a centerpiece in your home. Plus, with its sleek design, it's classic home decor that will stand the test of time.
