> Yes it's cheap. Yes it doesn't last a lifetime. I've found if you buy something from IKEA when you're putting it together, using wood glue and better screws actually lengthens the life of their stuff considerably. I feel its not the wood that is the issue, just the crappy hardware they send with their stuff that is the issue. But agreed on the rest of your points.
