It's junk!

Our closest IKEA (37 mi) usta put their returns right out in front of
the line exiting the store (....and we all know how difficult that is!).
IOW, one could inspect all the returns. Geez!, .....IKEA makes a
lotta junk!

In fact, in CA, IKEA competes with Levitz, a huge furniture store
chain that LOVES particle board. So, I was gonna buy a single
captain's bed (under bed drawers) from IKEA. Turns out it had the
same amt of particle board components as the Levitz junk. I passed.

The only thing I've ever bought from IKEA, and didn't feel like I was
being ripped off, was early adoption CFL bulbs and the hanging pan
rack in the housewares dept. I think I paid $29 dollars fer an
overhead hanging cookware rack that Sur Hi Tab couldn't seem to price
fer less than $100!!
