IKEA cardboard roof racks?

Apparently these are available at the tills, but I have never noticed them - they'd TOTALLY help me bring home the bed I want, if they're any cop.

Anyone had any experience with these things? It's just the one 130*160cm-ish box I need to stick on top, the rest can go inside...

Sounds like a recipe for disaster :|

I know, this is why I'm suspicious enough to ask a forum first...

Not a job for a rainy day, like...

cant say i have ever seen them, and i work there!

also you might want to check out the ikea thread about the sale

Yup saw the sale thread cheers

Fancy asking about said racky things at work? For meee? I'm dubious but it'd solve my problem...

Ah, "Anna" the weird bot-woman thing on the page says they don't offer them any more. Oh well, bang goes that one!

googling seems to suggest you might be able to buy a roofrack at the checkout. but ive been to warrington and leed ikeas recently and not seem 'em :/

might be there tomorrow so will have a look.

saw some guy piling up cardboard boxes on his roofrack a few days back during the storms :/ made sure i overtook him pretty quickly when we got to the motorway.

i shall do it 2moro if i remember.

they provide string and what not so you can tie it down. might wanna try and tie it without the roof rack. ive seen more dangerous ways of transporting it home!

Heheh! A couple of well-placed sweaters underneath, lots of string, sorted....
