IKEA stuff isn't BIFL grade, it's mostly affordable starter furniture.

I bought my first house a few years ago and started to look for more serious furniture. I spent months looking for a good cabinet for my TV + consoles + storage, but could't find anything. I buckled and went for an ikea setup in the end, using their design tool to come up with something really neat and affordable. I mean yeah it's particle board, but it looks good and will be just fine for the next ten years.

My Galant desk is probably over 10 years old at this point. Still just fine; only thinking of replacing it because I want a standing desk now that I am WFH for the foreseeable future. Sure, the top is that cheap paper stuff, but it’s been broken down and assembled 7 times due to moving and survived just fine.
