Five IKEA Listings Marked New: a Gateleg Table, Folding Chair and Low Storage
Five IKEA listings currently marked New, selected for small apartments, WFH corners and one-person kitchens, with regional prices, dimensions and assembly watch-outs.
IKEA’s product pages currently mark these five listings as New. The selection has one large purchase, two storage choices, a spare chair, and a small box that clears visual clutter.
Prices and product pages were checked on September 7, 2026. IKEA does not publish a first-listed date for individual SKUs, so a live New badge cannot verify that an item first appeared during September 1–7. Local stock also changes with the selected store or postcode. Treat the regional pages below as acquisition paths, then check your own store before paying.
At a glance

1. NORDEN / KARSKÄR: one table that shrinks to 26 cm
Best for: A person who eats, works, and occasionally has a friend over in the same small room.
Decision: The folded table is the reason to consider this set. Its smallest configuration is 26 cm long; a single leaf makes it an everyday table, while both leaves create a 152 cm surface. The six built-in drawers make the table do a little more than dining duty. The price only makes sense when the table replaces a smaller table and a storage unit at once.
Price and regional status: IKEA US lists the birch/rubberwood set, article 096.300.71, at $549.99. IKEA Japan lists a white/rubberwood version, article 996.300.76, at ¥63,990. Each page showed a New badge when checked. The color and article numbers differ by market, so the two listings are comparable configurations rather than the same SKU. 12
Assembly watch-out: High. The US set arrives in three packages: one NORDEN table and two KARSKÄR chairs. IKEA supplies separate assembly instructions for the table and chair. Plan a clear floor area before opening the boxes. 1
Get it: NORDEN / KARSKÄR on IKEA US or IKEA Japan.
2. LILLBERGET: a 73-litre chest that stays below a window line
Best for: Folded clothes, cables, or spare bedding in a room that also needs a modest bedside surface.
Decision: LILLBERGET is only 68 cm high, which makes the top useful without turning the chest into a full visual wall. The 70 cm width holds 73 litres across three drawers, and the 43 cm depth is less intrusive than a standard wardrobe. Choose it when low storage beats tall storage. A room that needs hanging clothes first will get more value from a wardrobe.
Price and regional status: IKEA UK lists article 806.304.77 at £59, while IKEA Sweden lists the same article at 795 kr. Both regional pages showed New when checked. US and Japan listings were not confirmed in this check. 34
Assembly watch-out: Medium. The chest comes in two packages and IKEA provides an assembly guide. The pages do not give an assembly time, so reserve more than a quick unpacking session. 3
Get it: LILLBERGET on IKEA UK or IKEA Sweden.
3. VIHALS: the useful spare chair that can leave the room
Best for: A WFH setup that needs an occasional visitor chair, or a dining corner that gains a second seat only on some days.
Decision: A chair earns its keep in a small apartment when it disappears after use. VIHALS folds to 44 × 11 × 89 cm, while its open seat is rated for 110 kg. The black frame and plastic seat will suit readers who want a practical extra chair, rather than a cushioned long-session work chair.
Price and regional status: IKEA Sweden lists black VIHALS, article 906.517.42, at 179 kr and displayed a New badge on September 7. UK, US, and Japan listings were not confirmed in this check. 5
Assembly watch-out: None. IKEA says the chair arrives ready assembled in one package. The work is choosing a hook, closet gap, or wall space that can take the folded 89 cm length. 5
Get it: VIHALS on IKEA Sweden.
4. VIELÅNGEN: a box with a boundary
Best for: One category of small visual clutter: charging cables, paper mail, tea supplies, or a bathroom backup stash.
Decision: A lidded box is useful when it gives a category a clear limit. VIELÅNGEN is 9¾ × 13¾ × 7 inches, so it fits a shallow shelf and closes over the contents. IKEA describes the box as handwoven bamboo with a rattan frame. The narrow use case is the point: one box for one type of thing is easier to maintain than another general-purpose basket.
Price and regional status: IKEA US lists article 806.240.42 at $23.99 and marked it New when checked. IKEA did not state capacity on the US page, and regional prices for the UK, Japan, and Sweden were not confirmed in this check. 6
Assembly watch-out: Low estimate. The product is listed as one package, and the product page did not list assembly instructions. Check the received box before assuming it needs no setup. 6
Get it: VIELÅNGEN on IKEA US.
5. NORRMJÖLE: a round table for a dining zone with room around it
Best for: A one-person kitchen or studio dining area that has enough open floor for a real table, not only a wall perch.
Decision: NORRMJÖLE gives you a 105 cm round top at standard dining height. A round table removes sharp corners from a tight route through a room, but it still needs chair clearance on every side. The trade-off is straightforward: choose it for a stable dedicated eating area, and choose a folding or gateleg table when the room has to change function daily.
Price and regional status: IKEA Sweden lists the oak-effect/black table, article 006.205.66, at 1,995 kr and showed New on its product page. US, UK, and Japan listings were not confirmed in this check. 7
Assembly watch-out: Medium estimate. The table comes in one package and IKEA provides assembly instructions, although the product page gives no time estimate. A one-package delivery reduces carrying complexity; the assembly guide still makes this more involved than a ready-assembled chair. 7
Get it: NORRMJÖLE on IKEA Sweden.
The shortest route to a choice
- Choose NORDEN / KARSKÄR when a table needs to open for guests and close against a wall afterward.
- Choose LILLBERGET when 73 litres of low, shallow drawer storage will clear a specific pile.
- Choose VIHALS when a second seat needs to live folded away.
- Choose VIELÅNGEN when one shelf category needs a lid and a fixed capacity.
- Choose NORRMJÖLE when the apartment can protect a 105 cm dining circle every day.
