There is usually one ikea for an entire area/hub. The most i can give ikea is that they are good for a curtain panel, if it not being cut correctly has no matter in its application. And some of their area rugs are alright. The rest is cringe worthy IMO. Oh and the kitchen cabinets if you are outfitting a rental. Our new place has an Ikea kitchen and I'm in heaven. We middle class gays, we can't be too snobbish about furnishing. We stylish on a budget.
Till the Gay Money Train comes for us IKEA is just fine.  | |

Till the Gay Money Train comes for us IKEA is just fine. I have lots of Ikea stuff and I love it. I remember when I first bought a couch from there someone on the org was saying their stuff was crap and they knew someone who’s Ikea couch was a wreck within a year. Well, I’m at 5 years later and it’s still in great condition. All of my stuff from there is. I’ve never had an issue with quality. |

Our wall unit in the living room is 10 years old. It's modular and has been taken apart and reassembled a million times at 4 different homes we've lived in. It's still standing strong. We just gave away dressers that were about 8 years old, they were what I'd call "crap" Ikea and they were still in great shape after all those years. | |

Not to say there's not some crap...But we have Ikea lights/lamps over 10 years old. Still work and look fine. Ok I just looked online and I do like a lot of their stuff. Some are decent prices. And there's great stylish pieces, definitely worth what they're charging. I'm not sure I'd call those prices terribly low-end for the average person tho. Maybe we're poor and don't know it.

I think a lot of it is in how well you take care of it, too. |
