Negative feedback:"The 399 yuan coffee table cracked in three months, and the customer service refused to return it" (Black Cat Complaint); "The leather on the Stockholm sofa was seriously peeled off, which was inconsistent with the publicity" (Little Red Book #IKEA Lightning Protection)
4. Test data from professional institutions
| Test items | Compliance rate | Industry comparison | Risk warning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formaldehyde release | 100% | Better than national standard | Fabrics occasionally have a peculiar smell |
| structural stability | 78% | Lower than industry average | Large pieces of furniture need to be reinforced |
| Durable hardware | 65% | Obvious shortcomings | It is recommended to purchase your own replacement |
5. Purchasing Suggestions and Pitfall Guidelines
1.Preferred classic models:Classic models such as the Bjorn Gauss dining table have been improved over many generations and have a lower failure rate than new products.
2.Avoid minefields:Low-priced promotional items (such as 99 yuan side tables) mostly use recycled boards and have limited load-bearing capacity.
3.After-sales key points:You can enjoy 365 days of return and exchange if you keep the complete packaging, but please note that the receipt is easy to fade.
4.Modification plan:Netizens recommended using 3M anti-slip pads to make up for defects in drawer slides and purchasing screws to replace original parts.
Summary:IKEA furniture shows obvious "price stratification and quality differences", and the mid-range product line (2000-5000 yuan range) has the best price/performance ratio. It is a good choice for short-term rentals or those who want to try new styles, but consumers who pursue generational quality are recommended to consider solid wood custom furniture.
