So do you, actually.

IKEA has products of varying price points. Yeah some of the cheap stuff might be pretty bad. Having said that, I have family members with IKEA furniture that is now around 30 years old without issues.

I have expensive solid wood furniture as well as IKEA furniture. Some of my own IKEA pieces that I bought after finishing uni have lasted 30 years and are still in use. I don't think I've thrown any IKEA furniture out, only passed them on to other people.

Um, ok. I guess you got me there.

> 30 years is nothing. I have 200 year old solid wood furniture. I seriously doubt anything made from sawdust will ever last that long.

Ok, good for you then? I don't need anything to last 200 years, but I wouldn't be surprised if my sawdust furniture lasts longer than me, since I take pretty good care of my furniture.

> I hope you and your family enjoy your IKEA decor.

Yep.
