I don't understand why everyone thinks they have cheap quality...everyone i know who has actual furniture from IKEA has never had a problem with any of it.

go check out some real furniture then compare it to ikea...granted its cheaper and better for people on a tight budget, but still...its compressed particle board.

not all of it. the bed that i'm getting is solid pine. the dresser and end tables that brett has are solid pine.

it's not all compressed particle board. And why the hell are you downing it when you were going to buy a desk from there?

well I'm just proving my own point. If I could afford to put down 500 on a desk you can sure I wouldn't get it from ikea.

:werd: not all Ikea furniture is mdf. Like I said, I buy the solid wood ones and they are very good quality for the price.
