The IKEA GREÅKER Cabinet is Designed with Family Safety in Mind

The IKEA GREÅKER cabinet is a safety-focused piece of furniture for familial homes to offer peace of mind for weary parents who worry about the potential of tipping decor accidents.

The cabinet is crafted using fiberboard, particleboard paper foil and plastic edging across the three drawers inside as well as the front exterior doors. A series of specialty hinges will position the front doors in place when opened and further offer support in the event of a tipping accident. The drawers can only be slid out if the cabinet doors are fully open and in the proper position to prevent tipping.

The IKEA GREÅKER cabinet is arriving in Europe and Asia in July with a North American launch expected to take place in 2023.
