[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's weird how nobody understands IKEA in this country. They think it's crap made for the poors or something. In fact IKEA has different lines with different solidity and because it's a European manufacturer, has far higher standards for off-gassing formaldehyde, toxins in glue, and general sustainability, than US manufacturers who basically have no regulation.

If you want strength and durability, buy solid wood furniture from IKEA (or another manufacturer) and make sure to install it correctly. IKEA will tell you exactly what parts are made from what.

If you want crap, buy the rest.[/quote]

I have no idea what you're trying to claim. I lived in other countries and in those countries everyone knew Ikea was cheap furniture and cheap for a reason.

I agree there are different lines of durability but even the best of Ikea isn't anywhere as solid and high quality as good quality furniture. America has a lot of good quality furniture. North Carolina makes some of the best furniture in the world. It just cost a lot more and that's why people rely on Ikea. [/quote]
