I’ve got an Ikea couch I bought fifteen years ago that’s made a move across the US three times. I have two kids in their teens. The couch is still in good shape. I also have an entertainment center/TV stand that I bought from them 10 years ago from Ikea that’s in great shape.

The couch cost me $250, the TV stand cost me $50.

The myth of crappy Ikea furniture is overblown.
