Our entire shipping infrastructure is fucked. master rolls of metal have been sitting in a train for over 2 months ships are anchored off shore waiting to unload. no empty cargo cantainers
I like thier blue tarp bags. Great for carrying firewood
Their rechargeable batteries are basically Eneloop without the brand premium (be sure the batteries say MADE IN JAPAN on them).
Why? Did they run out of sawdust?
Some of their junk is corrugated cardboard.
I have a desk that is that. It's going to fall apart pretty soon, but I haven't been able to get a better desk to replace it.
Yeah half their shit is just a thin wood veneer on top of hexagonal cardboard. Absolute shite.
Some of it is actually made of solid MDF, which is still junk but it'll last a lot longer.
I bought an old desk from a company I worked for. It's ugly as sin but it's never going to fall apart.
This is the plan,use the 'covid hoax' to artificially raise consumer prices.The 'joos' know what their doing.
Ikea's overpriced junk could go away and I doubt anyone would miss it save trendy hipsters that won't be able to buy new compressed cardboard crap every week.
I heard all the hype and then someone paid me to put together a unit called Skrodum or some dumb name. I was disgusted by the cheapness of it. I told the guy that it was going to fall apart with any light use. Whatever he paid me.
I've been given a couple of things from there over the years, one was a down comforter which was actually nice and well made (still have it) and a cart thing of some sort. I gave it away because I doubt it would have lasted a year.
I suspect the only thing about the comforter was it cost 2x what you would have paid at someplace like Sprawl*Mart, but came from the same cheap Chinese factory.
Imagine having to pay someone to put Ikea furniture together...
That being said, the Billy bookcases are functional and and our malm dressers are still holding up fine 8+ years and two moves later... I really don't understand the Ikea hate
