Quality, higher-wattage ones are harder to come by at that price (e.g. 45W and up are $20+ for decent brands), but I can get a 2-pack of name-brand (Anker) 20W chargers for $10-15.

I'm guessing Ikea is just rebranding crappy chargers, so no thank you, I would rather not have my phone, tablet, etc get broken because I was too cheap to spend an extra $10 on a better brand charger.

Exactly, this is definitely not going to be quality electronics.

Ikea electronics and batteries are almost always high quality. It's not their bread winner so it would be stupid to skimp on them and risk their reputation.

The ZigBee lightbulbs I have are definitely not high quality.
