Hi, Ikea like other furniture stores sells many brands (all but a few are Swedish) so your mileage will vary. I bought some bookshelves for storing records in. They weren't supercheap, but were sturdier than the O'sullivan junk in Best and Bradlees. I also got a stereo stand which is quite solid. My brother has three brands of shelves/bookcases which vary in quality. One desk he got had to be glued together, which meant leaving it behind or knocking it apart when he moved because it wouldn't fit through the door (we *carefully* hammered it apart). My bookcases had extra parts in some boxes and missing parts in others (it balanced out). One box had out of date instructions. Overall I'm quite satisfied. -- Andy Wing Lead Applications Analyst - Temple University Computer Services v2002a@vm.temple.edu v2002a@templevm.bitnet@pucc.princeton.edu agwing@astro.ocis.temple.edu
