I've settled on just getting Ikea or used (and usually quite old) furniture for most things. To get consistently-better quality than Ikea, you have to go up to like 10x or more their price. There's a whole middle-range of furniture that's largely complete shit, as bad or (more often) worse than Ikea, but with massive mark-up. The market's super-weird.

Nobody expects Ikea furniture to be great, but usually it's just cheap materials that assembly nicely but aren't necessarily that durable. In this case, the wood was mostly okay, though several pieces were slightly warped, and after it was all put together more than half the drawers jam. Something is very wrong with their manufacturing tolerances.
