IKEA Has An Outdoor Coffee Table That Doubles As Stylish Storage

Milder temperatures are finally here, making it the perfect time to take more of your activities outdoors. If you're wanting to enhance your outdoor living space with the right items, it's important that you look beyond just purchasing something for its appearance. The best items are the ones that combine both form and function. One great example of such an item is the LÅGASKÄR Coffee table that comes with a plentiful storage compartment, making it one of our 10 favorite IKEA storage finds for your patio.

The LÅGASKÄR retails for $99.99, which is in line with what many patio coffee tables would cost. Unlike coffee tables that might have a lower surface as the only available storage, however, the LÅGASKÄR has a huge amount of storage concealed under the lid. Visually speaking, the LÅGASKÄR is quite versatile, with a beige base and a white lid — this can help you create a stylish patio space without breaking the bank. The diameter of the table at the top is 29 ⅛ inches while the depth is 16 ½ inches. The base is slightly smaller, measuring 19 ⅝ inches in diameter. The base of the piece is made from plastic while the top is galvanized steel with a powder coat finish to protect it from the elements. At the time of writing, customers had given the piece a 4.7-star average, with the highest marks going to its appearance, quality, and ease of assembly.

If the LÅGASKÄR looks like something that you would like to bring to your patio, there are a number of ways to integrate this piece. It can, of course, be used as a coffee table; thanks to its generous size, you can easily fit coffee mugs and a plate of snacks on top of it when company comes over. It also makes for a practical footrest if you have nearby seating. If you have children, the LÅGASKÄR can give them a surface to color or play on top of when the weather is good.

The inside of the IKEA coffee table is ideal for storing items that you need regularly, as well as those that aren't required as often. Use it to store outdoor tablecloths, extra cushions, or toys that are enjoyed often but best protected from the elements. The LÅGASKÄR can make clean up easier after a long day grilling and playing on the patio because you can gather multiple items and store them quickly. Despite being made for outdoor use, the instructions clearly state that it should be covered when not in use for long periods of time for the best longevity.

Customer feedback on the LÅGASKÄR is encouraging, with many reviews that sound like this one from IKEA's website: "What a great addition to my patio. It is multifunctional; serves as a table and storage. I can fit inside the pillows from my chairs. I am super happy with this purchase. It looks nice, feels nice, and the materials are weather resistant." Critical feedback is quite limited, making this coffee table a furniture item that you should use to keep your patio organized.
