      While I don’t feel like this shills IKEA that badly, i wanna thank you for giving me the term “fast fashion of furniture” because I had yet to find a way to explain why I fucking hate IKEA furniture

      (Caveat that fast fashion/furniture is a complex, awful issue when we’re paid in pennies and still required to have clothes and also like sleeping in beds. But I fucking hate when it’s unnecessary)

        If you’re careful about which things you buy there it can last as long as any other furniture.

        I’m sitting on a 12 year old couch and have a bed frame from 20 years ago upstairs that has survived 2 moves.

        The key is no fiber/particle board, no fake leather and using wood glue on the pegs when building.

        We have some “fancy” couches from West Elm that are already falling apart 4 years in. So much regret.
