I feel like so many posts that look down on flat-packed/budget furniture overlook the fact that so many people are in a position where "buy it for life" isn't a desired feature. We're seeing job markets where loyalty doesn't pay and the best way to get a pay bump is to switch employers. We're seeing people live check to check, and so many are renting as opposed to buying. If I don't have a permanent home, why do I want permanent furniture? When I entered the workforce, my dad gave me a bunch of BIFL-type solid furniture he purchased with my mom before she passed. I ended up eventually selling it all off because it cost me extra to have it moved into and out of any appt that wasn't on ground floor. Often to the point where I could replace it with an IKEA piece for less than the heavy item surcharge. Or times where I moved into a smaller appt for budget reasons and just didn't have space for some pieces. I once rented a storage locker for a year just to keep furniture I couldn't fit but didn't want to let go because it was solid wood and "had value". I now use Ikea furniture for everything, and figure if I'm lucky I'll eventually be able to own property/a house and then it'd make sense to own something more durable.
