Headline almost got me.
Ikea has a bad rap but I've used plenty of their stuff and it's much better than it's cost would indicate, which is really saying something nowadays.
Fine for dorm/college/first job out of college stuff or kids bedrooms.
One trick that I've found helps quite a bit is to put some wood glue wherever the furniture calls for dowels (just a dab on both ends). Increases the sturdiness of the furniture a lot, but measure twice cause once it's all together it's never coming apart again.
