The arrival of the new generation of consoles has brought many problems to many users. On the one hand, the need to have a 4K Smart TV, the requirements to play at 210 Hz, choose between versions with or without a disc... and even with the living room furniture. That's why, IKEA wants to make things easier for you when choosing your furniture. And is that, who does not think about technology when decorating?
IKEA furniture for PS5 and Xbox Series X
The size of the new consoles is quite large, especially if we talk about PlayStation 5, which came to the market with impressive dimensions that far exceeded everything known so far. Due to its size, many users have had to improvise at home about where to place the console, since, due to its measurements, they could not place it in the usual place.
More or less the same thing happened with Xbox Series X which, with slightly more controlled dimensions, invites you to place it vertically due to its design. This placement has also limited many users, who, even knowing that they could place it horizontally, preferred to keep the console in its natural position, more imposing and perfect in terms of exterior design.

Such is the amount of space problems that users are suffering, that IKEA has wanted to make things easier for its customers, so that they can know perfectly which piece of furniture is perfectly compatible with the new consoles.
IKEA models
With this premise, the Swedish company has placed cardboard models of the Sony and Microsoft consoles in some of its centers so that users can instantly find out which piece of furniture suits them best for their consoles. IKEA is known for allowing you to feel and experience how your furniture feels with countless spaces set up and decorated in the store to make you feel at home, so you can get an idea of how it will look like at home.
So taking into account the popularity of the consoles and the important elements that they are in many salons, they have decided to place some cardboard models so that customers can know where to place the device and in which piece of furniture it will best fit.
Where can these models be found?
At the moment it seems like an idea that is only available in some centers, since not all of them have these curious pieces of cardboard. In any case, given the global need to know the measurements of the devices, the idea may be implemented in many more centers soon, so it is possible that you will be able to find them in your nearest IKEA center sooner or later.
