I’ve been getting promotional emails from Bungalow 5 lately advertising their new line. Exciting as it gives me something to do other than work. However, this morning I was a little shocked when this ad came through for the Niagara 3-drawer dresser.
Why was I shocked?
Because it looks just like this Ikea Hack done by Penny People Designs (featured on Little Green Notebook in December). This is the remake of an Ikea Rast 3-drawer chest which costs $39.99, probably a hair cheaper than the Bungalow 5 version.
Now what’s weird to me is that this hack existed BEFORE the Bungalow 5 dresser was created. Maybe the folks over at B5 saw this Ikea Hack and thought: “hey, I know how to make that more expensive!”
Weird, right?
