IKEA PS 2026 Side Table Dark Red: Price, Size & Color

IKEA's U.S. site lists the PS 2026 side table dark red at $39.99, a foldable piece designed by David Wahl under item number 806.210.67, according to IKEA's June 2026 product listing. Two reviewers on that same listing describe the color they received as closer to wine or plum than the "dark red" name suggests.

The listing also shows a 4.4 out of 5 average from 40 reviews, according to IKEA's product page. IKEA describes the table as a fold-up piece built to add surface space quickly and store away when it isn't needed, per the same listing.

A separate IKEA product, the SOLUPPGÅNG outdoor stool, is listed at $25 and is also described as foldable, according to IKEA's SOLUPPGÅNG collection sheet from earlier this year. That price applies to the stool, not the PS 2026 side table.

IKEA PS 2026 side table dark red: price and dimensions

The tabletop measures 19 5/8 inches long by 15 3/4 inches wide, with the assembled table standing 20 1/8 inches tall, according to IKEA's June 2026 listing. IKEA rates the tabletop for a 22-pound maximum load on that same page.

Two other measurements on the listing are easy to mix up. IKEA lists a "height including handle" figure of 28 inches, taller than the table's 20 1/8-inch standing height, along with a separate "height under furniture" spec of 19 1/4 inches, per the listing. No folded-storage dimension appears on the page, so how compact the table gets once collapsed isn't spelled out beyond those two figures.

Package specs tell a different story than the assembled table. The shipping box measures 28 1/2 inches long, 16 1/4 inches wide, and 3 inches deep, weighing 11 pounds 3 ounces, according to IKEA's packaging data. That's a box measurement, not the assembled table's footprint, and it doesn't stand in for how the finished piece feels to carry once set up.

Build and care

The tabletop is fiberboard with a pigmented epoxy/polyester powder coating, and the legs and folding mechanism are steel with the same type of coating, according to IKEA's material listing. Care instructions on the same page are limited to wiping the surface with a damp cloth and drying it with a clean one; IKEA doesn't mention sealants or other cleaning products.

Dark red, wine, or plum? What buyers say about the color

Two of the 40 reviews on IKEA's listing raise a similar concern: the finish doesn't match its name. One reviewer describes the color they got as "dark wine," saying it looks "dark and more purpley" in person and that three of the four listing photos looked redder than the piece they describe, according to that customer review. A second reviewer puts it more bluntly, calling the finish "definitely Plum or Aubergine, NOT dark red," per a separate review on the same page.

Both reviews carry four-star ratings, and not every reviewer flags the same issue. Another reviewer on that page praised "the colors and foldable style" without mentioning any mismatch, according to IKEA's customer reviews. Two detailed complaints out of 40 reviews amount to limited evidence, not proof of a product-wide issue.

Shoppers who care about matching an existing color scheme should treat the listing photos as a rough guide rather than a guarantee. Checking the piece at a nearby IKEA store, where one exists, is the more reliable way to judge the wine-toned cast two reviewers describe.

How the PS 2026 compares to LACK and ÄMMARYD

Two other IKEA side tables offer useful price and capacity comparisons: LACK is cheaper and has a larger top, while ÄMMARYD costs more and carries a higher listed load limit.

The PS 2026 figures come from IKEA's June 2026 listing. The LACK figures come from a listing dated last year, and the ÄMMARYD figures come from a listing dated earlier this year.

LACK's square top works out to roughly 51% more surface area than the PS 2026's, based on the dimensions listed on both pages, for $23 less. The LACK page also notes a different build: its top uses a particleboard frame with a honeycomb paper filling rather than the solid fiberboard IKEA lists for the PS 2026. That construction is what keeps LACK light enough to lift easily, per IKEA's material notes. The PS 2026's documented distinguishing feature is its fold-up design, not tabletop size or price.

ÄMMARYD sits at the other end of the comparison. It's priced at $49.99, or $10 more than the PS 2026, with a 33-pound tabletop rating, 11 pounds higher than either the PS 2026 or LACK, according to IKEA's ÄMMARYD listing. Package weight for the PS 2026 also runs heavier than LACK's, 11 pounds 3 ounces versus 7 pounds 14 ounces, per each product's listing, though that's a box weight rather than a lift-and-carry comparison of the assembled tables.

What to check before ordering

The price, review count, and star rating cited here reflect IKEA's June 2026 listing for the PS 2026. That listing is roughly three months old as of this writing, so the current price and stock at checkout may not match, and it's worth confirming both on IKEA's page before buying.

Keep loads on the PS 2026's tabletop under IKEA's stated 22-pound limit; that ceiling also applies to LACK, while ÄMMARYD is rated for 33 pounds. The listings position the PS 2026 as the fold-up option, LACK as the pick for surface area and price, and ÄMMARYD as the one with the highest listed tabletop load.
