I love IKEA. I bought there almost everything I have. When I bought my condo I had to purchase everything, from furniture to plates, I had zero belongings other than towels and sheets as I was renting a room during my first two years here. I rented a truck, went to IKEA, and filled it with furniture, curtains, carpets, kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, everything.
I bought all that stuff 15 years ago and everything is still functional, even my poor overtired coach.
It is true, the quality is not the best, but I like cheap things I can dirt and break and easily replace when I get tired of it. I am not interested in investing a bunch of money on stuff I will be afraid to scratch or stain.
