If only IKEA furniture didn't had a history of killing children because they don't meet furniture stability standard. Here's a couple stories from this year and before then.

A lot of specialist children's toy and furniture companies have recalled deadly products. This isn't an Ikea-specific problem. Checking for recall notices before buying a product, and registering with the manufacturer to receive future notices is the wisest course of action.
With ikea a kid can get his own setup, brand new and age appropriate.
Princess or racecar bed when they're young. bed with a desk underneath when they're getting to homework age, full sized bed when they reach 90th percentile. All with matching extras, and not too much money.
By the way, have you noticed the price and quality of furniture store furniture (when they're not "going out of business"?) A lot of it is either 10x ikea price or only 4x but still made with fiberboard underneath.
