Believe it or not IKEA is probably the most ethical and hacker oriented large-scale company currently around. They don't scam people into buying stuff which breaks and needs to be replaced, they retain customers by offering something to everybody while at the same time introducing fashion and trends which makes people want to buy new stuff. Insider tip: use ordinary glue when you put together furniture. You know how solid all the furniture seems when you try out at IKEA and you don't really get the same feeling when you put it together yourself? Well, guess what.

Don't glue it up if you want to be able to take it apart to move however. Several of Megan's commenters said one of the particular things they liked about IKEA is that they could disassemble and reassemble it easily.
