I know it's not the point of the conversation, but this is very overly harsh to Ikea. Their products are cheap (or, at least, they focus on cheap products), but why poorly-designed? I never had any of their furniture fail on me, and the concessions they make to get the lower price are really not deal-breakers in 99% of cases. It's really not bad at all. Also, selling disassembled furniture saves them a fortune on shipping, they don't do it because they think it's funny or quirky or something.
