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.

Dude IKEA doesn't care how things go together.

Every fucking time I buy IKEA shit it always comes out wiggly wobbly or something didn't quite align right or this or that or the other. It's cheap garbage.

Relatively recently decided to splurge on a bunk bed for the kids from a real furniture store that costs a little more.

Everything was tight, bro. Fit so good, and everything was just so sturdy and steady. Loved building it together with the wife as well. It was quite enjoyable.

I hate IKEA. Greetings from its motherland. 🙍‍♂️

That’s the complete opposite of my experience

Yeah, ikea is cheap and doesn’t last. But double the price and it feels the same (wobbly), except the holes are 1mm from where they should be.

Must be some shitty furniture companies then. Should be a matter of paying more to get higher quality.
