Question from caron page

Does anyone know how safe ikea furniture is in the home. I have found some information that says it is environmentally friendly, but before I purchase some, I really wanted to know.

Debra’s Answer

Ikea is a company committed to health and the environment. They have taken a lot of steps in the right direction. You can read all about what they are doing at:

IKEA | Our responsibility

and

IKEA | Sustainability

I myself shop at Ikea and I find a lot that I like. I also find a lot I don’t like. So I wouldn’t say that Ikea at this point in time has 100% safe and eco-friendly products, but they do have many.

Read the links and you’ll see that they have done things like use sustainably-grown cotton and reduce waste through more efficient design.
