Exactly. I've been looking for bookshelves and wanted something that wasn't just Ikea's Billy. The price jump to something from Pottery Barn is 3-4x the Ikea price, but from the quality you see at the showroom, it should be closer to 1.5-2x the price. I also feel a bit jaded from the mid-tier furniture showrooms, which offer Wayfair quality at 2x the price. I just want something that will survive a move while not having to look at payment plan!
- LargoLasskhyfv 3y agoWhy care about furniture surviving a move, when you can buy and build the same shit at your destination for cheap? And 'gift' the old to your follow renters, or just discard it?
- VHRanger 3y agoBecause wasting stuff is bad?
- jacooper 3y agoWell, in this case its not like you have a choice.
- worthless-trash 3y agoStill bad.
- hot_gril 3y agoI don't care that much about surviving moves, I care about it being nice quality. And the nice ones will cost enough that I want to keep them.
- chipsa 3y agoIkea does have a higher end bookcase than Billy: Hemnes[0]. It's like 2x the price, and I think it's worth about that, given it's made from mostly solid wood (back is still fiberboard). 0:https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hemnes-bookcase-black-brown-light-brown-20452294/#content https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hemnes-bookcase-black-brown-lig...
