This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Awful bed

IKEA in a nutshell. Simple to assemble, awful to keep. Terrible results.

It was not IKEA actually. Fancy furniture store.

I still maintain that IKEA is like that though. 😔

Poor quality? Yeah. It’s cardboard, mostly.

Their hallmark isn’t quality though, it’s affordability.

Agreed, and I'm effing done with it. I'd rather pay more for something I do want than less for something I don't want.

I can get behind this, sustainability.

Growing up we had a sofa from the 1800s. Nothing from IKEA will last that long.

Yeah baby, that's also really cool, wow. So old.

Bet it had new fabric though, or was it the original??

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

Fabric and stuffing was replaced, the rest was original.
