I have been buying IKEA ware for over 20 years now ... They have furnished quite a few of my houses and all of my personal offices.
They are awesome 1st furniture where you need some nice gear to outfit your space. It is a very clean, minimal style that functions nicely. Their stuff lasts about 5 or so years from everyday use I have learned, but by then you are looking for the "nice furniture" that will make it 20+ / heirloom pieces.
I had an entire kitchen (minus appliances ) installed in my last house and they were great. easy to assemble and held up for the few years I lived there and sold the house. The hoses and clamps - I would recommend knowing where your plumbing supply houses are as the stock Ikea ones suck ...
Currently I have my entire office in my house is IKEA ware. Their desks and cabinets are awesome... just make sure to get the reinforced desktops so the monitors / daily use dont cause a bend.
If you are nearby one - You'll become addicted.... They do make nice things that you can have for a while and their return policies are really nice.
and the meatballs are outstanding.
There is a saying we have around here that has 3 Ikea's nearby - You are not a couple with someone until you roll thru Ikea together looking at all the stuff you'd get for your home.
