I think it has. It is a subjective judgement but they used to have more products that were of higher grade than they do now. As an example, my parents had a garden table bought about 10-15 years ago. They now bought another one, very similar but still not. The finish was less exact, and the entire impression a step down. With the tables next to each other, very easy to see which is better made.

We just bought a pair of armchairs that seems to be quite solidly built and with nice material and finish, but I also had to throw away some kitchen chairs after just few years that we bought in 2010 because they were falling apart. In my experience, even pieces that has the same name can change from year to year (in either direction quality wise), because they have found a way to rationalise the manufacturing further or found a different factory that will produce it slightly cheaper but with slightly different standards.
