> IKEA is damn durable for what it is It's still very not durable. Do you imagine Ikea furniture passed down from generation to generation? Besides the obvious problem that all IKEA furniture is bathed in various chemicals that slowly kills your entire family, the furniture is just not solid enough for this process to take place. I can't count how many IKEA furniture i've stupidly damaged over the years, and i can even less so count how many i've seen on the street headed straight for the landfill (or local waste disposal equivalent). Traditional furniture is heavier and more expensive, but the wood can usually be reused, and certainly keeps solidity/value over time.
