Want the IKEA Effect Without Having to Build Your Own Furniture? Get University Loft in Your Dorm Room.

University Loft Graduate Series Srudent Furniture ConfigurationsHave you heard about the IKEA Effect? According to Tulane University marketing professor Daniel Mochon, Michael Norton of Harvard and Dan Ariely of Duke, the IKEA Effect occurs when you attach more value to, and affection for, something you created…like furniture. For example, assemble an IKEA bookcase yourself and you’ll think it’s great. But is it possible to feel that admiration for your furniture without having to do all the initial furniture construction work? College students in dorm rooms across America and around the world know that feeling of pride very well. Let’s call it the ULoft Effect:

When you get on campus and discover your residence hall, your dorm room furniture has most likely already been set up for you. Looks good, right? Solid desk, sturdy dresser, comfy bed. But maybe something doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe the dorm furniture configuration isn’t quite to your liking – or to your roommate’s liking either. What to do? (This is where the ULoft Effect comes in…) Simply rearrange your room! Bunk your beds or tuck a desk and dresser beneath an elevated – that is, a Lofted bed. Thanks to University Loft and our solid wood residence life furniture, there are dozens of possible arrangements. Best of all, with our Tool-less System, University Loft makes it easy to get the dorm room configuration you’ll absolutely love! We’ll build the furniture; all you have to do is make it your own!

So, again, here’s the process: See, plan, configure, sleep, study, live, love. It’s the ULoft Effect. But you can only get it if your college or university uses University Loft student residence life furnishings in the dorm rooms. They do, don’t they?
