Almost all of my furniture is from Ikea and has held up pretty well through a couple of moves.

That said, most furniture stores sell garbage. Quality is a rare thing nowadays. Even Stickley isn't what it used to be. My favorite place for cheap quality is Cost Plus. Not sure if they're in Canada, but periodically they get something good. We have an entertainment center and a shelf I use for clothing. Cheap but SOLID, way more solid than anything I've ever seen at IKEA. I also like the Skandia shelving from The Container Store.

The sofa I bought (it's actually a sofa bed) is comfy enough, and luckily will double as a bed for when I piss the woman off (yay!). Super happy with the coffee table too. Ikea is certainly good enough for what I'm looking for. Eventually, we shall upgrade, but neither of us really care for expensive furniture. So long as it lasts long enough, I'm happy. Will most likely be going back to ikea at some point in the next week to grab a TV stand/shelf/storage thing. |

Not cleaning up any cables until we get the TV stand and I bring my old bookshelf here. After that, we can worry about making things pretty.
The important thing is, we're sitting on the couch, and we're enjoying our drinks that are on the coffee table while we watch Superbad. Life is good right now. |

Ikea allen keys FTW I have so many stashed somewhere.
The last piece I've bought from them was the infamous Poang chair. I love the design but not so much the fit and finish. I ended up buying 3 sets from 3 different countries of manufacture and combined all the best bits, then refund the rest. When I told the girl at the return counter she died laughing. I think the best piece I've ever found was a slightly used Fritz Hansen Oxford office chair. Picked it up at a private furniture sale off a closed condo sales office. Paid $50 bucks (my friend told me to lowball it down to $25 but I felt bad) then came home Googled just to realized it's $3500 new LMFAO! My desk is just a cheap plastic folding table from Staples (bought it as a temp solution but forgot about it for nearly 15 years). |
