  • Fast, free UK delivery on thousands of items.

  • A new Seaham showroom just 25 minutes from Gateshead — no long queues, free parking, and a café on site.

  • Premium quality that lasts, with exclusive international collections not found at IKEA

Great table for small spaces.

Looked high and low for an adaptable dining table that would fit into a small space. It's really clever and neat the way I can extend the table if needed. Found HOI really efficient at both the ordering and arranging delivery. Would definitely use them again without any hesitation.
