IKEA & Reyes Collaborate: Bringing Rhythmic Joy Home with the REYES BONGO DRUMS

Conshohocken, PA – November 8, 2023 – IKEA US Retail LLC, the leading Swedish home furnishings retailer, today announced a vibrant collaboration with Reyes Drum Company, a respected name in percussive instruments, to bring a touch of musical fun into homes across the United States. The result? The REYES BONGO DRUMS – a playful, affordable, and surprisingly high-quality instrument designed for everyone, from budding musicians to families looking for a good time. For years, IKEA has been known for offering practical, stylish, and accessible solutions for every room in the house. From furniture and storage to textiles and decor, IKEA aims to make everyday life a little bit better. This collaboration with Reyes Drum Company isn’t a departure from that mission – it's an addition to it. "We’re always looking for ways to bring joy and creativity into the home," says a representative from IKEA US. “We believe music is a fundamental part of that, and we wanted to make it accessible to everyone, not just those with musical training or a big budget.” And that’s where the REYES BONGO DRUMS come in. Let’s be real, most people picture expensive drum sets and years of lessons when they think about percussion. The REYES BONGO DRUMS throw that idea right out the window. These aren’t about becoming a professional drummer; they’re about playing. They're about letting loose, having fun, and connecting with your inner rhythm. “We were thrilled to partner with IKEA on this project,” explains a spokesperson from Reyes Drum Company, a family-owned business with a long history of crafting quality percussion instruments. “IKEA’s commitment to design and affordability aligns perfectly with our own values. We wanted to create bongos that were not only fun to play but also looked great in a living room or playroom.” So, what are the REYES BONGO DRUMS like?

They're compact enough to fit comfortably in a corner, making them perfect for apartments, dorm rooms, or just moving them around the house. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect: Quality Construction: Don’t let the price tag fool you. These aren’t flimsy toys.
