Is there any evidence that the new stuff is worse? Because as far as I can tell, the wardrobes at IKEA today is the exact same models as the ones I bought 7 years ago. Billy bookshelves looks to be the same as the one I bought 15 years ago.
- freeone3000 6y agoThey look the same, but the actual construction grade on the new Billys is awful. I bought a bookcase two years ago and the wood veneer has already chipped off, revealing the cardboard inside. Even the more expensive stuff isn't immune - I purchased a Malm at the same time and the drawers already have the bottoms gone and the metal frame parts have already bent.
