Couch hacking - A proof of Ikea's excellence

I have moved twice with my expedit, without never breaking anything. This is amazing how strong the stuff can be. Same for the lack tables, never broke any, even while seating on them totally drunk ^^ .

Ikea uses the same materials as the other manufacturers when talking about cheap furniture, it just uses it better :).

I moves with expedit up to three times. I only disposed (sold) it, because it did not fit anymore with my colorchoices.

So I was able to sell a expedit after three moves.

The kitchen in our home is a pure IKEA Showroom. Even the 40mm realwood top. that did cost about 300 $. We would have paid 2000 - 2500 $, if we would have ordered that one at a kitchen store. The whole kitchen didn't cost that much. You can buy cheap at IKEA. But you can also buy good stuff there. It costs a little bit more, but most times it really lasts.

and: We had a problem once with missing parts. What do I say. A Problem? NO, went ti IKEA, told the service desk, what the issue was, left 5 minutes later with all parts and to vouchers for free coffee.
