I disagree. I bought a lot of Ikea things over the past 5-10 years and it ages nicely (except for garden chairs and tables stored outside). Of course I never tried to disassemble it (why would I), but I disagree that quality is shoddy.

Quality is pretty good if you stay away from the economy white stuff. That gets chipped, wears quickly and gets dirty easily

On the other hand, it costs like $20 so you can't exactly expect it to be made of hardwood =)

True. Most of my living room is made out of the paper stuff. The non white laminates are pretty good.
