Interesting that you say it lasts such a short period of time. I've had the opposite experience. My billy bookcases have moved countries and lasted more than 20 years, as have my tables. I think the lack of glue in their construction (most of the items, can't speak for them all) actually makes them more durable than boutique furniture if you treat them with a reasonable amount of care.

- Phillipharryt 7y agoNot all ikea is particle-board, and the point was that there isn't glue holding joins together. The weakest part of furniture is the joins but ikea pieces usually use screws or pegs.
