What are you guys doing with your Ikea furniture? I bought a bunch since 2008 and I still have some pieces that were with me thru about 10 moves, including 2 interstate moves and one international move, all involving a stint in a warehouse or Public Storage. The only things that ever broke were under-the-bed drawers that have a design flaw where slamming them causes the front to be levered against the bottom of the bed. From my limited experience with non-Ikea, non-office furniture, it's if anything more likely to be damaged when moving, because it cannot be disassembled and neatly stacked, and so is more liable to be banged against things when loading/unloading, or inside the truck.
- RoyalHenOil 3y agoIkea has a range of quality options. Some of their budget offering are very poor quality and will eventually fail with even mild use. However, they do also sell some nicer quality furniture that will absolutely stand up to abuse.
- sershe 3y agoI still have a Lack side table (the only Ikea name that makes sense in English too) and a 1-2 bottom-tier cheapest chairs that are at least 10 years old and maybe more... or e.g. Malm bed of similar age (I think that is the cheapest beds they have), we don't use it anymore cause we wanted to have a padded headboard. They are all totally fine and I've moved with them a few times.
