I don’t buy ikea because i prefer things that last. We already have tons of waste as a species. I don’t need to add more to it than necessary.
I think Ikea makes a point out of being sustainable.
also, their products last decades.
I've only ever got maybe one Ikea table and it was used, but if your main concerns are sustainability and waste, those are two shortcomings Ikea doesn't bear.
Particle board by its very nature is going to last decades less than normal wood. So yes, ikea is wasteful.
They seem to have two levels of furniture; the flimsy, mostly made of particle board/cardboard and hope stuff, and the solid wood stuff. The latter is as robust any anything you'll get elsewhere, even assembled, just easier to get home and takes some assembly. I suspect it's mostly that that lasts, although even the lightweight stuff holds up well if you're carefully with it.
