It is utterly shit quality MDF crap.
It was great when I first left uni, but as stated by almost everyone in this thread, it is cheap and falls to bits and heaven help you if you try and move home!

I'm surprised by this, when was the last time you visited an Ikea store? I haven't been to one in the UK for around 7 years now but I remember it being a bit like you described, not quite as bad but the quality wasn't the greatest. The Ikea store I go to in Michigan has a great range of products for every budget. I bought my tv room sofa from there, it cost me $2400, I just sold my house and the people buying it offered me $2000 for the sofa, they didn't realize it was Ikea and thought it was a $5,000 sofa. I declined because I love it and it will fit perfectly in my new place. I was nice enough to tell them where to go and buy one brand new for a few hundred more which they appreciated greatly.
I would have sold it and bought myself a brand new one tho if I still had my old car that would fit all the damn boxes it came in
