Bought 2 billy bookcases for £20 each in 1991, and moved them a couple of dozen times, including moving country twice. Last month I disassembled them and used the pieces to make wall shelves in the pantry of the house I bought 2 years ago. That's some longevity.

Let me guess, her drawer was too full and as she opened/closed it, the clothes broke a crossbeam in half?

Almost everything in my apartment is from ikea, the only thing that isn't holding very well is the sofa and that was my fault, we changed orientation 4 times and some of the screw holes got to big.

And even then the sofa is still good, is just kinda crooked if you now where to look
