I've purchased my share of items from IKEA, especially when I was a poor college student. But I appreciate IKEA for what it is. It's a store full of really cheap, often poorly-constructed, furniture, accessories, and junk. I have an IKEA bookshelf that is partly made out of cardboard. I have a desk from IKEA, and while it actually looks pretty nice, it has literally fallen into pieces on more than one occasion. I lust after the nice furniture I see in other stores. But I know some people - people with actual paychecks who can afford real furniture - who love IKEA. I don't get it. Maybe I don't appreciate Swedish design (is that an oxymoron?).
Not overrated: Krazy glue.

Hahaha, so true. I love the style and design of Ikea. I also love the price tag.
Recently, our Malm bed just cracked at the frame when we flopped into it. Luckily, my husband was able to repair it with wood glue and a clamp. Good as new! Now, we hope our bed has at least 2 more years of life in it!
