I understand the hate of Ikea’s cheap furniture. They also have plenty of solid wood furniture as well. Maybe not multigenerational quality, but they do have plenty of buy it for life versions that have survived several moves.
Yeah, the trick is to look for the unfinished stuff. It’s no more expensive than their usual pressboard-and-veneer items; the only catch is that you have to paint it yourself.
That could be an advantage, though, since it means you can pick any colour you want.

I bought a dresser that actually came pre-stained in an orange color. We did a glass top on it to help protect it, and it looks new still to this day.
