For what is worth, I had an IKEA kitchen for 12+ years, we disassembled it and gave it to some people that could reuse it, and it's still fine. OTOH my IKEA couch fell apart in half that time, but my wife fixed it up and it lasted until we renovated. We gave that away too.

IKEA has a wide range of products, some fall apart quickly, some last longer.

The finger jointed pine stuff is much more robust than the mdf or hardboard products.
