@4:10 It's not garbage. I've had Ikea stuff for over 30 years. With multiple moves, and rearrangements, and still Works 100% fine, just like it was new. It all comes down to knowing how to put it together. Don't tell anyone but the secret is to read the directions and to follow the directions. It's not rocket 🚀 science.

I've had the same experience with furniture I bought about 30 years ago at ikea: its still there after moving 7-8 times. 😊 Unfortunately the newer stuff is a bit different. Some of it looks similar to the older designs, but they made it a bit "lighter" saving material and stability. Well, as it is with many new products anyway...- but useful for vanlife in this case... 😉

I worked for IKEA in Gateshead UK for 10 years. I must have helped hundreds of people plan out their van builds with kitchen units. They're so versatile and low cost. The only problem I have now... other than not yet having a van.. is that I've seen so many different variations, layouts and features for alsorts of different sized vans.. I just can't think which layout/van I prefer for myself.

IKEA has always been full of stuff that can be used in alternative ways. Yes, most of it is particle board, but unlike many other manufacturers they are very open about that, plus they really test it to make sure it lasts. 45 Years ago, when I was furnishing my first place, I used tall upper kitchen cabinets to create a sideboard. Perfect height and depth, and designed to hold a shed load of stuff.

I got that gate leg table 12 YEARS ago USED! It's been through more moves than I care to mention and a kid that's 7 now. When we rented an apartment we took one side of the table completely off and saved a bit of room. When we got a house, we put it back on. That table is rugged AF!

You convinced me - YOU ARE THE BEST! We raised five kids. When they were teens we bought a larger home and furnished almost the entire home from IKEA. That was 1994. Downsized and sold the house in 2015 and all the IKEA furniture for almost what we had paid for it. Now, we just bought a van and are building. Guess where the furniture is coming from? IKEA!

What my wife and I did for a kitchen in our van was we bought an IKEA play kitchen took out the sink and used a 12×9 baking pan we had to use a jig saw to cut the hole for the sink wider then just used regular sink plumbing for the grey water and bought a 12 dollar rechargeable pump for a water cooler jug and siliconed it to the kitchen then we replaced the fake stove top with an electric hot plate its perfect (and we just have a standard E-250)

I temember Bob Wells doing a video on first vans. His use what you have really helped me. I'm going to start out with bedroom furniture that was my mom's...the kind they used to make that really lasted. I've got my dad's old army wooden foot locker I will incorporate in there so he's with me too. I'm not real handy with tools but have a few things I actually will have to build. Mine will be the insulation, walls and floors. Don't want propane or running water. Simple life. Small solar needs. Willget solar generator...maybe a jackery or 2😂😂😂. First stop is van itself and I'm saving for w yrs to get. Meantime...set my room up as if it is tje inside of my van. Helping me to downsize and simplify.

I had the same thought. Glad you put it up for us to see. 👍 Update 1/8/23: It worked perfectly. In my van I have an Ikea bed, kitchenette, and small chest of drawers. The other items came from Bi-mart, Walmart, and Fred Meyer stores. I've been urban stealthing for 2 years in the neighborhoods surrounding my place of employment. Everything is solid and functioning well. 👍 My entire build cost was just over $2k. The majority of that is my diesel heater and the power supply to run it.

I worked at an IKEA store for about a year -- and remain in awe of what the design team could do. I still make a point of walking through the store at least a couple of times a year just to get ideas, and as I've begun looking into van life (at least part-time) some of their products have been popping up high on my list. :-)

So inspirational. Love you guys! I feel like we are best friends from how many videos I’ve watched of yours. 😆 Hope to meet you and Cruz one of these days and show off my van (coming soon) that you inspired.

I had that table in a 700 sq ft apartment when I was in the navy; we kept it for 13 years. The butcher block became my counter in my build. Really solid.

Please show your simple spacious minimal everything you need very first van build when you were sitting in a park parked just wondering & wondering & wondering. I think that build is the absolute best.

Kudos Chromeo on a job well done. Not to disregard your other videos because I like those too but this was great. I love your voice overs you have the perfect voice for it. Please give a big ole hug to Cruzie... he's the bomb (probably literally too - huh?)

I never would have thought of Ikea - what a great idea. Putting a canvas picture on the van wall is very cool. You've really sparked my imagination - thanks !
