My dad was a cabinit maker so i have experienced "proper" cabinets as well as Ikea stuff.

You called it. Ikea furniture never seems to support disassembly / reassembly.

I've thrown out several sets of Ikea dressers and such which lasted ~5 years while the stuff my dad built is still in perfect working condition 22 years later.

As far as the Ikea rack idea is concerned, holding any sort of weight has always been the major failure with Ikea furniture. They sell bookshelves which cant hold books... Dressers with 1/4 "cardboard" bottoms which cant support the weight of clothing.

you get what you pay for.
