I don’t think it’s fair to compare brand new unassembled Ikea furniture to used furniture found on a marketplace. Compare the price of used Ikea furniture with new Ikea furniture, or new Ikea furniture with new non-ikea furniture.

Used goods being cheaper isn’t a surprise.

Nice, I have absolutely nothing like that within my area.

I used to keep an eye on the marketplace sites for a while, but after a few months gave up because there was usually fuck all good furniture and the good deals get snapped up instantly.

Dealers spend all day watching these market places (I’ve met at least five in my local area), the second they see a deal they jump on it, then post it back on with a 500% markup.

It’s mostly Ikea furniture on the marketplace sites in my area lol

The first one is absolutely hideous, I wouldn’t want that in my house.

The second one doesn’t even look too be solid wood, but rather engineered wood with a veneer - I don’t see how that’s any different than IKEA.

I love real wood furniture as much as the best person, I have some myself, but your post here does not help the point you’re trying to make

That “bureautje” thing looks like the random crap furniture my grandmother had in her house.
