And in a year when it needs to be replaced they’ll sell you another.

Depends on the item. IKEA is known for it’s cheap and flimsy particle board furniture, but it also sells solid hardwood furniture that is quite solid and well built.

I have a $99 table and 4 chairs that i bought from them something like 8 or 9 years ago. Still holding up very well, though I can see how some of their other stuff wouldn't do so well.

That’s very noticeable in the price though.

It's still cheap compared to comparable alternatives though.
