when i was a student, my cubble-hole/apartment was full of ikea furniture.

their styles are good, their stores are well-organized, their staff is friendly, and their prices make sense. unfortunately, the quality of their furniture leaves a lot to be desired. all that particleboard and glue-on connection points allow dressers and desks to disintegrate after a few years.

but, it's still a decent store. if only they offered durability in addition to all their other strong points.
