    For sure, though my family members that have worked for them for a long time say the company is changing in some pretty shitty ways internally

      Yeah, I don’t know much about the inside of the company. I’ve got some friends who’ve worked there and had a positive experience, but I’m in Sweden and I’ve no idea how things are internationally.

      Edit: clarified what the thing was.

        I still have a blast walking around and the build quality from most collections has been up to par if not improved on past pieces.

          Definitely. The end product is getting better and better, and they’re easier to build too.

            Show me it surviving a moving truck ONCE and I’m sold. So VERY little Ikea gear can make it. Hemnes, Brimnes, Early Billy, Efectiv, etc.

            Pine grows fast in managed forests. It’s actually renewable. Bring back Pine if we can’t have anything better.

              What do you think IKEA furniture is made of? Wood!

              The cheap furniture is obviously made with cheap wood but that’s a given.

              The MALM line is the only one I can really vouche for. Solid stained pine queen bedframe with rolling drawers/ book shelves, TV stand, end table and a bookshelf have made it 3 houses and a few pieces are coming with me across the country in a move this month.

              All together it was close to 1600$ in 2015 if I recall correctly, so not bad durability for price.
