The only thing that seems to separate Ikea from similarly priced stuff on Amazon is the fact that I've never had misaligned parts from Ikea. Their QA is top notch despite some of their cheap stuff being very flimsy. I buy from Ikea knowing that I probably won't need to return it or have to talk to some Chinese furniture factory about getting spare parts because some are missing or are so poor quality, they broke during install. Ikea is certainly cheap for some things so you should use wood glue if you want them to last, these are definitely not hierloom pieces.

I love IKEA but I'd have to disagree with their QA being top notch. I can't keep track of how many times I've had to go back because some piece in the flat pack was damaged.

Is QA part of shipping? I'm sure they're pristine off the line?
