Furniture that needs to be bolted to the walls to ensure it doesn't fall apart from you walking around causing it to shake and wobble isn't furniture in my eyes, it's decor.
If it's made of Ikea 'wood', it's not worth it. Anything plastic molded, sure. It's probably ok for a year or two.
We still have some Billy (wooden) shelves that are well into their second decade without anything more than some tiny scratches even after two moves.
You sound like you don't have first hand experience with their products. They sure have lots of trash but there are some good products in their huge catalog.
I never bolt mine to my walls, and it's fine.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of their particle board or whatever, but they seem to have designed around it well given that my furniture has held up well. It's cheaper than the furniture store stuff, and I hate the sales tactics they use at the local furniture stores, so it's a win-win for me.
We'll probably get some "nice" furniture once my kids are done dumping soda and whatnot all over our stuff, but my IKEA stuff has held up way better than I expected.
