    I bought particleboard furniture from a German company ten years ago. One of the planks weighed more than an entire new IKEA book cupboard.

    IKEA quality has gone down hill significantly.

    It used to be cheap but relatively good quality.

    Now it’s often (but not always) overpriced low quality stuff.

        The matrasses too.

        They’re counting on no one using it, because a matrass is annoying to transport, but that’s really worth it.

        IME they rarely last ten years, but that doesn’t matter. You simply return them every few years, once they start sagging a bit or get dents. Just use a matrass protecter against the worst stains, obviously.

        Very affordable matrasses too, compared to other places.
