> Ikea furniture is not wood it's crap particleboards, cheap plastic, etc. - repairing that looks terrible.

Depends a lot on the line. Eventually one figures it out.

I love the Hemnes line for example: the design suits my tastes and it's all 100% wood – from the smell of it I guess pine.

Regarding the paint job, that can be the case, though I wouldn't know as I normally get them in raw wood. Sometimes I overpaint them myself with a different color.
