I don’t understand the hate IKEA gets. Sure, the really cheap stuff is cheap, but still very functional. At the higher price points the furniture seems pretty sturdy, and a lot of it is easily customized.

I’m good with visuals, so it’s really hard for me to relate to people struggling to assemble the furniture. 😅 Lego kits are harder.

IKEA quality has increased enormously in the last dozen+ years (used to be that every item 'screamed IKEA w/ undertones of 'not expensive' - no more)

That said: beware of beds (esp) and bedding (maybe not duvets?).. this is because Ikea bed sizes from Sweden.. NOT USA Standards! So, if buy an Ikea bed, limited to aways buying Ikea sheets. Again might not be the case w/ a Duvet, but mesaure!

That is not correct at least as of the last 3 years. I buy my sheets from ikea and they fit my bed (not ikea) perfectly.
