Ikea stuff, at least on the cheap end, is made of cardboard lattice coated in plastic. Maybe if you get more expensive stuff from particle board, or even plywood, you'd be better off, but that cheapest stuff is really cheap. Once the fasteners start to loosen, there's nothing you can really do. With real wood, you could just put in a fastener in a different spot.
that's what he's saying. cheap stuff is going to be cheap, but Ikea offers better stuff for a little bit more
And is still cheaper than what you'll find at most competing stores. Cheaper as in price, not quality. I need to drive about an hour and a half to the nearest IKEA, so I've looked at other options when I think of some new furniture that could improve my space use. I'm always disappointed in both the selection available and the price on the not quite what I have in mind but closest they've got.
