I have bought and assembled 6 billy bookcases one by one over the last 15 years and the drop in quality over time has been quite perceivable.
The latest one I assmeled used plastic locking mechanisms to keep the shelves in place instead of the metal of all my prior bookcases. Probably good enough, but doesn't inspire confidence.
- donatj 4y agoI truly wish whoever downvoted me would give me an explanation of why. This has been my experience. Do you disagree with my assessment? I can go take pictures of my individual bookshelves if you would like and show the gradual drop in quality if you would prefer.
- clnq 4y agoI expect that people downvote these things based on emotion and not reason. It's been very perceivable that IKEA's quality has gone down over the years. Though it is a bit regional as ultimately quality is influenced by the local manufacturer. The quality of their furniture is better in Scandinavia than the UK, for example.
