I have never purchased Ikea furniture. I've only had the pleasure of putting it together for other people. So far that experience has included wardrobes, desks and beds. Without fail the stuff is absolute crap.
From pressboard panels, where the slightest overtweak of connectors causes permanent damage, to undersized drawers that fall off of slides, to the inevitable missing parts, the stuff is garbage. It looks nice in the showroom maze and it's inexpensive but you definitely get what you pay for. Maybe even less than that.
And yes its disposable. It cannot take the abuse of moving from one apartment to another.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoOur bedroom is largely from Ikea, except for one bookshelf and one dresser. We have run into precisely zero of these issues. The only significant damage incurred was when we slammed a car trunk onto the bottom of a table, puncturing it underneath. So far, the desk and shelves have survived moves without any problem. Ikea has a pretty big range of furniture, and some of it is made out of actual wood; maybe that makes the difference.
