[quote=Anonymous]We have enough money we could buy whatever we want, and we still buy ikea furniture from time to time.  Our style is minimalist modern, so we mix with some vintage pieces, and upholstery from midrange stores. As others have said, some of the stuff is dirt cheap. But the mid and higher priced stuff in their non-upholstery lines are very good quality for the money.  Anything for the kids are great for 10 years (the plastic tables, storage units, cribs, high chairs, toys).  We have a patio set we love that is going on 4 years and looks great - and was $350, relative to every other modern set we liked elsewhere was going to cost at least $2500.  Billy bookcases, hemnes, we have several fold out chairs for when we have more than what fits at our dining table.  The media consoles are general excellent quality, anything they make with the lacquer finish will hold up forever (including their kitchen cabinets, which we have and love).  The pax systems are fantastic, and the sliding doors are a known trick by many contractors to use in kitchens and closets - saves you about $2000 relative to other more custom places. We have a bathroom vanity, and I'm a bit less impressed but it will last as long as we need it to.  Most of our other wood furniture is vintage or handmade, so I don't have much to compare to... but we bought our master bed set from west elm 4 years ago and it looks like total shit. Same or worse quality than ikea but a lot more money.  [/quote]
