I agree, I think there is a level where this is true, and it is at the absolute bottom (like $15 nightstand level), but if you move slightly up from those "lines" the build is a bit better. No, you aren't going to hand them down to your kids, but I have some fairly cheap ikea furniture in my bedroom that survived two moving trucks just fine. And one thing about them...they are generally much lighter than solid wood "real" furniture - so the actual process of moving them is easier and generally less prone to damage in the first place.

> at the absolute bottom It was the lowest priced sofa at the time (~100€), and my elbow went right through the armrest on the third day. It felt like it was made of cardboard. Helpful as a temporary consumable, and probably extremely recyclable. > And one thing about them...they are generally much lighter than solid wood "real" furniture - so the actual process of moving them is easier and generally less prone to damage in the first place. Both weight and (dis)assembly are a great thing indeed: I mostly have IKEA furniture, mainly because the staircase leading to my apartment is crazy steep and tight!
