Sooo this is an Ad? Could u please not? I mean the hai is chill, but please dont shill IKEA they the fast fashion of furniture and not very good for the envioment.
You are not wrong but did you check the name of the community?
While I don’t feel like this shills IKEA that badly, i wanna thank you for giving me the term “fast fashion of furniture” because I had yet to find a way to explain why I fucking hate IKEA furniture
(Caveat that fast fashion/furniture is a complex, awful issue when we’re paid in pennies and still required to have clothes and also like sleeping in beds. But I fucking hate when it’s unnecessary)
If you’re careful about which things you buy there it can last as long as any other furniture.
I’m sitting on a 12 year old couch and have a bed frame from 20 years ago upstairs that has survived 2 moves.
The key is no fiber/particle board, no fake leather and using wood glue on the pegs when building.
We have some “fancy” couches from West Elm that are already falling apart 4 years in. So much regret.
