What's an inexpensive or low-quality item that you ended up loving and keeping for years? (kbin.social)

I bought a lift-top coffee table from a big box store almost a decade ago. It's entirely particle board and has seen better days cosmetically, but it's probably my single favorite piece of furniture. It's immensely practical for meals, using a laptop, or just bringing your remote/drink/whatever closer to your hand when laying down on the couch. I instinctively try to lift other people's coffee tables when I visit, and am mildly annoyed when it doesn't work...

I immediately thought of my Lack coffee table from Ikea. I also have a cheap chinese bench PSU, just good enough for my electronics projects.

Yep, for the price Lack can't be beat. I've read that some clever people even use them as server racks since the legs are just the right width.

I use an old one with burn marks for my 3D printer.

In addition to the bidet response above, we have a Squatty Potty in every bathroom of our house. You can wet a tissue to sub out not having a bidet, but a toilet stool is sorely missed when we travel.
