(7,473 posts)1. Do you mean the IKEA of laminate and particle board fame?
Yuck. Nothing else need be said.
(except about the stuff I see on the sidewalk in pieces). Free if you want it.
It was just a joke. Did you see the picture of the "cake"?

Just like everywhere else. Yes, some furniture is laminate over MDF, some is pine, some is veneer.Not everyone wants or can afford furniture that lasts for generations. Personally, I can't afford to pay $1 to $2K (or more) on a new sofa.
Actually I got the top one used off Craigslist for $225 and IKEA sells covers in other colors for $150 to $200.
