I have had a slight change in heart with respect to IKEA. It's still crap, we all agree that it is disposable furniture; however, treated with kid gloves when dismantling and reassembling it can last (I've found I have an uncanny ability to preserve the furniture well beyond its anticipated lifetime). Still, it has terrible resale value, Germans seemingly won't take it even if it is given away for free. And I'm too deep into the "i don't think we should throw everything away or move everything" anytime I move regime that this is immensely distasteful.
