Plus, Ikea stores are huge, great for my daughter to run around in. A good place to visit.

When I say "decent" I mean it is basically middle of the road quality - not really nice stuff to pass onto your children but not the really cheap stuff either. We've actually had good luck with our IKEA stuff. We've had a pair of upholstered chairs for about a decade and a solid wood kitchen table (that we love) for a few years now. @The Happy Rock,

We’ve actually had good luck with our IKEA stuff. We’ve had a pair of upholstered chairs for about a decade and a solid wood kitchen table (that we love) for a few years now.

Most of there stuff is only meant to last a few years if you treat it well. We have two higher end Ikea bedroom pieces and I had to fix the drawers multiple times within 5 years. This isn't the type of stuff that you are going to pass down to your children. It is built such that you have and want to go back in 5 to ten years to get the newest style. We are about to buy a new house in the Spring and we are leaning to more expensive furniture. Not the type were you are paying for a brand, but were you are paying for design, craftsmanship, and quality. The stuff I can pass down to my children, who will be raised to appreciate that type of history and quality.
