Ikea Furniture

I have an Ikea dresser and futon that has been broken down, stuffed into my car, moved, and rebuilt a few times. So far, so good.

The key to Ikea furniture; wood glue, when putting it together.

Not everything there is cardboard and sawdust junk. We bought a king bed frame and it’s solid wood, minus a section of MDF wainscoting on the headboard. The nicer stuff like that isn’t super cheap like the cardboard stuff but it’s wayyy cheaper than even something like Ashly which is straight garbage furniture.

Sounds exactly like mine from ikea. All extremely sturdy except the inserts for the headboard. The matching dresser is sturdy as hell too.

Make the purchase and buy the Swedish meatballs too

Plan to stay there like 3 to 4 hours. You go in planning to get one thing and spend a half hour. But spend 2 and a half hours there and walk out with a shopping cart and flat cart full of shit you didnt even think you need. But you saw it and had to have it!

I remember years ago (about 10yrs ago), somehow some way we were put on Ikea's "preferred installation company" list. My boss figured fuck it, why not give it a shot. Did like 4-5 jobs and we refused to take any more after that. Between shit being broken in the box and just the overall amount of time it took to build we couldnt make any money. Till this day I still think my boss signed up for that shit but he always denied it, lol.

I think people who have a hard time building ikea stuff are in the same catagory as those parents who act like assembling a Barbie dream house on Christmas Eve is the biggest challenge they’ve ever had in life. I enjoy the shit out of building ikea stuff. I wanna buy some more just so I get to build it

I haven't bought a ton of their furniture but will say we got a crib for the kid that was sturdier than ones costing 5X as much.

It is cheap furniture. I have a couch that is chincy and broken. I have found that living room and bed room furniture is better bought at Ashley's or Art Van. Even the cheapest sets are better quality than Ikea and not all that much more expensive. For glass cabinets and displays, Ikea is good.
