> I think they get a bit of a bad rep because, yes you can get a $10 MDF nightstand that will probably last a couple years... Their Lack coffee table is an iconic POS. It’s almost completely hollow but I’ve seen them last years and it doesn’t look that bad. It’s also really cheap so I’ve seen lots of hacks for it. I think the hacking is where IKEA really shines. If you’re careful of what you buy, you can reconfigure, paint and chop up their furniture on the cheap and make it your own.

I've had mine for several years and despite the top surface having some wear on it, it's just fine. Definitely a solid purchase considering it costs about as half as much as a takeout pizza.

Makes for a great play table for kids as well. We bought one and put a custom sticker of roads/trees/houses on it that the kids can play with toy cars on, or amend with additional lego houses/trees etc.
