Everyone's always talking about how shoddy it is and how your cabinets will disintegrate if they go through any kind of stress, but all my cheap-ass furniture with a piece or two missing is still going strong after nearly a decade a use. Maybe I'm just lucky and it really is all crap, but I can't shake the feeling that the reason people shit on Ikea is because it's inexpensive.
I think when he said "some of it is made of wood" he was talking about the actual solid wood stuff, of which they actually have a surprising amount.
Some of it is wood, a lot of it is MDF and MDF is still bad
