Ikea furniture has quite the cult following — shoppers love the brand for its style and its affordable prices. But, as is the case with many other products affected by inflation, the price of Ikea furniture and home decor is on the rise. The company is expected to raise prices by an average of 9% this year in response to supply-chain challenges.
Before you make your next purchase at Ikea, you should give the furniture options at Amazon a look. The site offers a number of impressive alternatives to some of Ikea’s most popular styles — alternatives that can be delivered to your home in two days for free. (Some of Ikea’s most popular home goods, meanwhile, are not available for shipping.)
CBS Essentials has scoped out Amazon’s best alternatives to the Hemnes, Kallax, Billy and more popular Ikea models.
Sauder Shoal Creek dresser
This dresser, similar in style to Ikea’s Hemnes eight-drawer dresser, is slightly smaller and a bit more affordable. Find it in four color options on Amazon.

This storage rolling cart looks like the Ikea Alex drawer unit on casters, but has one more drawer and costs less. It has a whitewash finish and handle cutouts.

WLNUI light gray decorative pillow covers (set of two)
Ikea’s Luggmal pillow covers aren’t currently online. If you don’t feel like leaving the house and standing in line at your local Ikea, you can order this similar style on Amazon.
