    SAIDA!!! Girl, you are a life saver. Thank you so much for this video! I had anxiety about taking mine apart, I was concerned it was going to be a hassle to put back together. After watching your video I am honestly so confident! I have the exact same configuration just in the darker grey colour. Thanks again! 😊🌻💛

    Thanks for the video. I'm looking at an ikea couch as there are three flights of steep stairs into my new apartment so it would be great to be able to bring the boxes in one at a time and disassemble it when I leave. It was very helpful to see you pull it apart and I love that the covers are machine washable.

    Thank you so much for showing all this! I'm in the process of choosing a couch _based on_ how easy it is to clean or replace the covers; I have 3 long hair cats, and both fur and hairballs are inevitable, so instead of being mad about that I just want something that makes that not a big deal! I have been thinking about the Vimle and just getting an extra set of covers so I can swap over on a whim if I have surprise guests coming right when my cat's decided to violate the couch, LOL.

    I'm indecised between this one and the farlov series. they are the two best ones for small spaces that aren't that miniature like 1m50cm or less and last long in good shape.
    ikea has plenty of small sofas but a lot of them just feel cheap, get ruined faster, aren't comfortable at all or are two small. small houses sometimes aren't easy haha

  • @SiouxieSioux
    @SiouxieSioux Před 2 lety +1

    I am thinking of this sofa or Froslov. For me the selling point was removable covers which was making me lean towards Vilme but now I am a bit concerned about washing covers as I have Fibromyalgia and would probably need someone to assemble the couch for me meaning I will also been someone to disassemble just so I can wash covers, and as I am single and not with the greatest support system ( not to mention I don't want to burden a anyone with that task) I am now not sure this is a good idea.

    Hi Saida, thanks for posting this. I have been looking for reviews on this sofa and can’t find anything useful. One of the comments I’ve seen from buyers on the Ikea website is that the cushions slide out. This is something that absolutely gets on my nerves about my current sofa but wondering if everyone experiences the same issue with the Vilme sofa or if it was just that particular buyer. Can you shed some light on this?

      New version is out. Called Finnala and it is an actual change (not just a name and number as suggested). Looks almost identical, but the dimensions are slightly different (bigger) so the parts will not be interchangeable. If you think you want new covers or anything for vimle I would try to get them now, although it is too late in some places.
