The furniture style is mostly designed around the scandinavian
modernist aesthetic. IMO it's something you have to commit fully to as
your design style to make it work.

The use of laminate wood products is a prominent aspect of the style.
There are some really high quality and durable laminates, but to many
laminates just look cheap and tacky. Ikea carries a mix of quality but
is much less expensive than most of the scandinavian design furniture
stores here. I can't say if that translates directly to quality since
I haven't been to Ikea for nearly ten years.
