- nox101 2y agoWhat are some examples? What I've noticed buying Ikea stuff over the last 30 years so that it's gotten progressively lower-quality. Take for example their Kallax shelves. I've purchased them at least 4 times in the last 20 years, each time, a part that was metal before got replaced by a plastic or wood part, the wood got thinner or less dense, .... They still work so maybe that's innovative.
