IKEA you can get a nice strong king bed for $700. Costco was like $1200 and was paint slopped, off gassing, low quality bed board swaying. IKEA does use a lot of real wood pieces but does use lower quality where it doesn't matter and I have no complaints from my 4 bedroom sets (Idanas, Hemnes & Malm). There are certainly very fancy places that charge $4k for a bed. I just don't understand the price when IKEA is so close at a fraction of the price. I'd rather add more to my investments.

The issue I have with IKEA is how much they increased their prices over the last few years. I think they were price gouging like a lot of companies and blaming inflation. These sales prices is IKEA selling them at what they should be selling for in the first place.

Edit: Maybe the different colors are different material? I've only owned the dark brown and gray stained ones. I recall an in-law's white set having a more laminate type of veneer but that was years ago. I don't think they sell those anymore.
Even for manufactured wood products, they're way more solid then they have any right to be. I got a lightly used Malm dresser when I moved to a new city as a 20 year old. Well, 15 years had passed and I still have that same Malm dresser. I've moved an inordinate amount of times (maybe 15-20 times? I had a couple years where things weren't awesome and I moved a 3-4 times a year)
The only thing that's broken on it are a couple of the superficial pieces between drawers, amusingly due to me over filing drawers and trying to close them, no damage from moving.
Every other IKEA item I've had has been worth the amount I paid for it. Some are super cheap and work for a short while, but the mid to high range items usually surpass my expectations.
I also like that I can order a matching piece from a set years later, like 10 years after getting my dresser I got matching end tables.
I bought some cabinets from IKEA, and later wanted to save money and got similar looking ones from Menards for almost half the price…but I could sure tell a quality difference. IKEA's construction was much sturdier.
