In the early 90s I bought a second hand IKEA twin bed. It has survived a transatlantic move and is still around.

The meatballs man. It's all in the meatballs.
Ikea is actually a kötbullar store with a furniture side hustle.

I've only been to an IKEA once, and I've never bought their furniture, but my best guess is the meatballs.
On a semi-related note, if you haven't read the book Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix, you really should.
Is this why IKEA isn't that popular here? Because I can get IKEA quality at Wal-Mart?
IKEA is a lot better quality than Walmarts build-your-own furniture. I have both. The IKEA stuff is a lot more dense, the connections are more precise and stronger, and overall the IKEA stuff is just better quality.

IKEA did it by branding. I mean, I love their designs, but I wouldn't buy anything larger than a nightstand from them.
I like to ask anyone when they say they went to IKEA "did you have to build your own exit to leave?", it makes me chuckle
