There’s literally many pieces of Ikea furniture that are made from cardboard covered in melamine sheeting. Some of it even holds up well as long as you don’t get water in it. My coffee table was $12 when I bought it 10 years ago, and it’s still fine, and it’s made literally from cardboard. That said, Ikea has plenty of solid wood furniture, mostly of pine, and if you apply wood glue to the pegs during assembly it’s extremely durable and long lasting for it’s price. I have a dresser from Ikea that was “stain yourself”. I assembled and sealed it when I was 14. I’m almost 40, and it’s still in fantastic condition.
