Ikea product is hit and miss. My wife purchased a dresser for my son's bedroom and I have lost track of the number of times the drawer rails have been repaired
 On the flip side, the other items have been fine. YMMV |

Medic8r Manor has four or five of these IKEA Expedit shelving units. Each cubicle is about 13" in each dimension, so they'll hold all sorts of books, LPs, office storage boxes, etc. No warping or bending, even with the heaviest, most boring medical books. Highly recommended if you want cheap bookshelves that don't really look that cheap.

Yeah, it really depends.
There is a lot of laminate-over-chip-board that looks fine but is structurally really fragile. However, we also have some Ikea stuff that is baltic birch with dovetail joints. Most of the furniture is scaled SMALL, though.

I LOVE their Swedish meatballs.... even if they might also be laminate-over-chip-board....

I make it a point of having Mountain Dew with a shot of lingonberry juice whenever I eat at IKEA.
