Came here to say the same thing, POÄNG and a few other products from IKEA are great.

It's actually a shame they don't focus more on perfecting their offerings.

Some items get redesigned too often. Especially the melamine off-gassing stuff referred to by the parent post.

Agreed, last drawer I bought from them I shoved activated charcoal bags in for over a week and left the drawers open, eventually they stopped smelling.

Also the quality of their press board / chip board has dropped dramatically over the years. 20 years ago items in the Malm line were a lot heavier and could survive multiple moves. Last time I picked up a piece of a Malm bed, it felt nearly hollow.
