There are many different lines of products from IKEA. Even if they serve the same purpose (kallax and eket for example), the price is a pretty good indicator of the durability of the furniture and your ability to disassemble and reassemble it down the line.
What I guess I'm trying to say is that it's not IKEA problem, it's budget lines of IKEA products problem. At the lower price range it's hard to expect great durability.
A lot of wooden IKEA furniture sold in Europe is produced in Poland and there are many local knock-offs of IKEA products from other manufacturers. These are either cheaper and even less durable or more expensive but barely match IKEA's ease of assembly and quality of the components. I really don't think that durability is IKEA's greatest problem. ;)
- barumi 6y ago> There are many different lines of products from IKEA. Came here to say just that. Some products are virtually bullet-proof, while others start to show their age after a few months of regular use. For example, cheap melltorp tables can withstand a nuclear blast and even a few cross-country relocations, but anything from their Billy line is already half-way to a trash heap after unboxing. IMMV.
