Is ikea quality that better? Some of the ikea furnitures I had in the past already cracked or broke down. Whereas those I got from random furniture shops seem to be better.

It depends on what exactly you're buying.
The elcheapo series basically paper roll or compressed sawdust.
The solid wood stuff easily lasted 20years..eg Ingo table..from CRT monitor era till today i still use the same desk.

60% of my furnitures from Ikea. All my stand and table lamp from ikea also. I have about 15 of those.

Quality depends on price also. They have low and high range to cater to different ikea customers.

Another place you can try is Homepro. Bought 2 study table from there.

Yup. Check BOM made from.

wanna check if you guys know if their one time off delivery fee is per package or one time off? It's RM75 - RM95!

Per trip charge. Else you can rent a lalamove 4x4 and sendiri angkat.
Truck roadtax, GDL license, worker fees, driver salary, tolls also have to consider leh. I used to do pickup truck moving services also charge per load min 80-90 depending on location and distance.

What about IKEA mattresses though?

When I read online international reviews mostly are bad.

It's hard to find local review on IKEA mattress.

Am planning to buy IKEA Fillan mattress.

Anyone has any review on this or IKEA mattresses in general?

Pretty much all the cheapo ikea mattress cannot use one. Sink in or backache etc. doesn’t last. Better than sleeping on floor tile. Use as motivation to earn more for a decent mattress.

i love ikea products mostly. but sometimes there are good alternatives to a certain ikea products.

for example, back in 2021, i wanted to buy a height adjustable computer desk from ikea. i wanted to buy the motorized version, costing about 1.2k iinm. but its always out of stock. so one day i decided to check shopee/lazada and found flexispot motorized computer desk. it's slightly cheaper than ikea but the quality i can say is comparable. i mean, the legs are solid metal, damn heavy, and once assembled, damn solid, no rattle or bending on the table. i am so glad the desk i was looking for from ikea were out of stock back then.
