BESTÅ Storage System Buying Guide
Discover the versatility and style of the IKEA BESTÅ storage system, designed to enhance your living room with both practicality and aesthetic appeal.
Good-Looking Storage for a Great-Looking Living Room
The BESTÅ system is designed to meet all your storage needs while looking good. It provides ample space for your TV, gaming consoles, sound system, DVDs, and books. Choose from high, low, or wall-mounted combinations, with options for panel doors to hide clutter or glass doors to display your favorite items. BESTÅ is available in various colors and finishes to suit your style.
Good to Know: Tempered glass requires careful handling. While durable, a damaged edge or scratched surface can cause the glass to crack suddenly, breaking into small pieces. Avoid side collisions as this is where the glass is most vulnerable.
Safety First: Secure furniture with tip-over restraints to the wall using appropriate hardware for your home's walls. Ensure your TV's depth and width measurements are less than those of the BESTÅ furniture.
Customize Your Own BESTÅ
The BESTÅ system is adaptable and flexible, allowing you to select and arrange parts to suit your space, lifestyle, and taste. Explore a wide range of pre-designed BESTÅ combinations in-store and online at IKEA-USA.com/BESTÅ. Use the BESTÅ storage planner at IKEA-USA.com/BESTAplanner to customize existing combinations or create your own unique solution. The planner helps you visualize combinations with frames, doors, shelves, and knobs, calculate prices, and save or print your product list.
