Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 12, 2026

Owners praise easy assembly and lower storage; several report scratching or surface separation within days and heavy scratching after two years

Room×Lab read 119 distinct written IKEA reviews of the HOLMERUD coffee table, not the separate side tables. Most reviews don't name the finish, country or production year; one describes the oak-effect version. A few reviews describe other furniture, a different small table, general price praise or a coffee table bought together with a side table, so the overall rating isn't purely about this coffee table. The reviews below pair praise with specific damage reports; 87 of the 119 reviews are five-star.

Room×Lab rating: 7.2 out of 10 (limited confidence). Owners credit this coffee table's styling, easy assembly and useful lower storage. Early scratching, surface separation and water bubbling hold it back, and the low, stepped layout must suit your seating. The rating comes from owner reviews, not a hands-on test.

  • Assembly earns praise, with handling qualifications: 6 favorable and 3 critical mentions concern assembly and handling. — Owners describe easy solo assembly; the critical mentions cite heavy sections, the patience it takes and possibly needing extra tools. Counts in these signals are reviews among the 119 that mention each topic, not how often problems occur, and one review can count as both favorable and critical.
  • Lower storage helps, but the stepped layout divides opinion: 6 favorable and 1 critical mention concern storage and the stepped layout. — Owners store books, small belongings, a blanket and coasters below the top. One likes the different heights for sofa and floor seating; another finds the two levels impractical and regrets buying the table.
  • Surface longevity remains a meaningful tradeoff: 3 favorable and 7 critical mentions concern surface quality and wear. — One owner reports no problems over a couple of months. Others describe scratching after one day despite careful use and coasters, the surface separating within days, rapid bubbling where water touched it, and extensive scratching after two years.

Before buying

Choose HOLMERUD for its two-level storage and easy assembly if you can accept owner reports of scratching within a day, water bubbling and heavy scratching by two years. Use coasters, and check the 15 3/4-inch height and stepped layout against your sofa.
