I don't know if this is specific to where you are, but my experience in IKEAs in NL doesn't fully support that. Some really decent metal products (mini tables/trolleys) can cost $20-40 (what I'd consider more budget friendly), while a $50ish bookshelf uses particleboard. The cheapest deskmat has poor quality but is cheap, but the $20 or $30 top end "fancy" one is still some kind of plastic.
My learning has been - find the good deals where they are (there are some really good ones!), but check the quality of everything first.
- petesergeant 2y agoI guess I’m thinking intra-product category here. A sofa that costs 2x the price of another, I’m expecting to be 2x the quality
- switch007 2y agoI think you would want to be prepared to be disappointed, hah. Honestly, IKEA have made so many cuts in quality since 2021, and increased prices, it's barely recognisable. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/viskafors-3-seat-sofa-lejde-anthracite-birch-s99443329/ https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/viskafors-3-seat-sofa-lejde-ant... here's a £1100 sofa (2x the famous Ektorp). Sure, it's got a bit of solid wood, some slightly higher density foam in some areas, some cheap springs, but that's about it. It's got very poor quality fabric according to the reviews - a trend in their sofas the last couple of years. I would bet if you picked up the corner of /any/ IKEA sofa (I've tested maybe 6-8), there would be significant flex. Ditto if you rocked the back. There really is very little variance in quality in reality
