Ikea Furniture

i have an ikea table and ikea shelves in my house. i've also got vases and artificial flowers from ikea. personally, i feel that ikea stuffs may be cheap and look beautiful but if you want something that will last long, perhaps you may not consider ikea. take for example the table in my house. my husband only got it for a few months when one of its leg broke suddenly. i later found out that the legs were actually hollow even though they look thick on the outside. also, the legs are actually glued instead of nailed into the table top. they are also stuffed with cardboard to make it less hollow. thus, for decoration purpose, ikea is fine but for practical uses, you may like to think twice.
