In general, I've been happy with Ikea furniture. The lower priced
stuff is made of particle board with wood veneer. Thus far, I haven't had
any problem with fabric wearing out. And unless you're mechanically
incompetent, the furniture is easy to assemble.
FYI, I've been a patron of the Ikea stores in Potomac Mills, VA and
Plymouth Meeting, PA.
