I just wanted to chime in and say I hate buying furniture from Ikea. I think they have have a few decent items, and the real wood bookcases looks sturdy but most of their stuff is laminated MDF. I have a real wood changing table that they unfortunately discontinued years ago that has held up well over the years, except for the drawer rails. Ikea doesn't sell replacement parts for it and it is a custom size, so can't go to Home Depot to find a replacement. Thankfully I was able to find a site that seems to specialize in Ikea replacement parts and it was almost an exact fit. I only plan on buying used furniture or making my own in the future.
I was in the market for a large dining room table and looked at their offerings, and with the table and benches was over $600. I went to Craigslist and there were several wood workers who could make you a farmhouse table out of quality, furniture grade hardwod for that price. Ended up fixing the antique dining room table I broke during the big move and using that instead.
