Ikea has confirmed it is discontinuing some items from one of its most popular flat-pack furniture ranges after almost 25 years. Parts of the Malm bedroom furniture collection are being phased out, starting from this summer, and will disappear entirely by 2027.
The iconic Swedish retailer says the range will be replaced with more options "built around the preferences and needs of people today." Prices for the Malm range start at £15 for a glass top and £49 for a chest of drawers, rising to £426 for a full bedroom set including a bed frame and four chests of drawers.
The Malm range includes chest of drawers, dressing tables, and bed frames. The Mirror has asked Ikea which items are being discontinued and will update the article when more information is available.
Ikea Spokesperson Statement
A spokesperson for Ikea said: "We know our products carry real and special meaning in homes all over the world and we are committed to meeting people in ways that reflect how they live today. As part of that commitment, parts of the Malm range will be phased out globally as we introduce more options built around the preferences and needs of people today."
Shopper Reactions on Reddit
Ikea shoppers have been commenting on the news on Reddit. One person said: "I have a Malm dresser I bought in 2012. Moved with it at least 7 times (around NYC) and it's still in great shape." Another commented: "It’s been a good run. I’ve had like 7 of them over the years." A third person said: "That feels crazy, it's such an evergreen product. It is everywhere. That's got to be a bestseller. Why would they get rid of that? Almost feels like getting rid of the Billy bookcase."
Ikea Family Meal Deal
The announcement comes after Ikea introduced a new deal where its Family members can enjoy 50% off all main meals every Wednesday until June 24. The deal is known as "Little Saturday" or Lillördag in Swedish, celebrating the halfway point of the week. Offers include pasta with tomato sauce for £1.45, mac and cheese for £2.25, sausage and mash for £2.45, and meatballs and chips for £2.95. Other options include smoky aubergine and goat’s cheese tart for £3.25, fish and chips for £3.45, and chicken schnitzel, chips and peas for £3.45.
Each Wednesday, Ikea will also drop exclusive £5 homeware deals in-store, with a rotating selection of products revealed monthly. In May, this extends to 20% off select products, including soft toys and glassware.
