Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 8, 2026

White DANDERYD owners praise easy assembly and sturdiness, but recurring complaints describe a top that scratched, peeled or swelled

Room×Lab read 199 distinct written IKEA owner reviews of the DANDERYD range, posted from December 2020 through August 2026 in several languages: 64 about this white table, 97 about the oak veneer/white version and 38 about other DANDERYD listings. Everything said here about the white top comes from the 64 white-table reviews. Where those owners give a time, peeling, chipping, swelling or cracking appeared within days to about six months. Comments from elsewhere on the web and independent product tests are not part of this summary. The reviews below show two praise accounts and complaints about scratching, coating lifting, swelling and peeling on the white top.

Room×Lab rating: 7.1 out of 10 (limited confidence). White-table owners praise straightforward assembly, sturdiness and legroom, but recurring scratches and coating damage on the white top, some within six months, temper the recommendation. The 4.47-star average covers the whole DANDERYD range, not only the white table.

  • Assembly is a recurring strength: 17 favorable mentions; one instruction caveat — Among 64 white-table reviews, 17 describe easy assembly. One of those owners also asks for clearer instructions for the side connections, so the two counts overlap.
  • The white top attracts scratch complaints: Six critical mentions of observed scratching — Six of the 64 white-table reviews describe scratches on the top, including scratches from knife contact through a tablecloth. No white-table owner praises scratch resistance; praise for easy wiping does not speak to scratches.
  • Coating damage extends beyond scratches: Eight critical mentions of surface deterioration — Eight of the 64 white-table reviews describe peeling, chipping, swelling or cracking, with reported onset ranging from days to about six months: coating lifting under a glass left overnight, rings peeling after six trouble-free months, and swollen, uneven spots within six months. Owners describe no single common cause.

Before buying

Choose the white DANDERYD for easy assembly and a sturdy frame if you accept recurring reports of a scratched, peeling or swollen top. Check chair clearance and the top on delivery, and ask IKEA what its warranty covers for surface damage.
