Do IKEA sofas come in boxes? [All You Need To Know!]
If you’re looking to buy a couch, sofa or lounge set from IKEA, you might be wondering if they come in a flat pack. Here’s everything I’ve managed to find on the subject!
Do IKEA sofas come in boxes?
Typically, all IKEA sofa and lounge chair sets come in boxes and need to be assembled by joining the parts together. For a 2-seater IKEA sofa, there are usually 2 boxes including the sofa base, cushions, legs and brackets. Customers can also check the “packaging” details on the IKEA website to see how many boxes the sofa comes in.

Is the IKEA sofa assembled?
In almost any case, an IKEA sofa won’t come assembled, unless you’re buying a used display case at IKEA. Like all other IKEA furniture, IKEA sofas come in flat boxes that require assembly.

How many boxes does an IKEA sofa have?
Typically, IKEA 2-seater sofas are packed in 2 boxes and 3-seater sofas are packed in 4 boxes. For larger corners and L-shaped lounges for up to 6 people, the units come in 8 individual flat pack boxes.

How are IKEA sofas delivered?
IKEA does offer a large and flexible delivery service that can deliver to great distances. In order to have an item delivered, simply request the service when purchasing any item you own.
If your IKEA sofa is already assembled, it will be delivered as-is. So be sure to measure the dimensions of your door frame.
If your IKEA sofa comes flat-packed, it will be delivered as a set, complete with all the necessary boxes.
Where are IKEA sofas made?
IKEA is a Swedish brand, all of its products are independently designed by Swedish designers. However, the vast majority of their furniture is actually made in Asia, in countries such as Vietnam, China, Malaysia, and Myanmar.
Is IKEA furniture durable?
IKEA offers very low prices for their products, so it’s easy to think that their products are of low quality. However, if users treat their IKEA furniture with a basic level of care, IKEA furniture can last for many years without wear and tear.
If customers want top-quality furniture, even handcrafted, then they’re better off going to an independent furniture store or a high-end furniture retailer.
Why is IKEA furniture so cheap?
IKEA prides itself on offering customers very competitive prices and great value. IKEA is able to do this for a number of reasons.
IKEA furniture is flat-packed, which means that IKEA does not need to hire artisans who specialize in making sofas, and customers can easily make them at home.
IKEA flat pack furniture also keeps shipping costs well below average, since a wide range of IKEA furniture can be delivered in a single shipment.
IKEA furniture also uses recycled materials instead of specially sourced wood or other rarer materials, which keeps costs down and is also good for the environment!
