I had a consulting job where I moved every few years and even their cheapest stuff survived multiple interstate moves, some with disassembly/assembly. I'd contrast it with the lower volume stores with higher margins and constantly changing designs: Ikea stuff has to work because the margins are lower and the volume is higher : a mistake/recall would cost them more.
- Nursie 4y agoThe good part about moving your ikea furniture between continents, as I have done, is that when the wheel on your desk chair breaks you can go to your nearest ikea and ask for another!
- japanuspus 4y agoWell, sometimes at least: We moved from Asia (Singapore) to Europe, and while waiting for our movers to arrive, we checked the childrens bedroom in the new house against the dimensions of their beds _looked up on the European IKEA site_: The bed would not fit. When the movers came with our container, I checked the dimensions on the actual IKEA bed we had bought in Singapore: It was smaller than the European version, and fit perfectly into the bedroom.

Pretty sure it’s the same globally as I went to Shenzhen to visit a supplier a few years later and noticed the boardroom had very familiar seating! (It was a ‘Markus’)
