If there's one piece of advice I can give, it's to never ever buy second hand IKEA furniture.

It’s not secondhand—I think what the person you replied to is describing is Ikea’s as-is section, which is for damaged or returned stuff. Most of it is just damaged furniture off the display floor. I got my couch for 50% from the as-is section and it’s still going strong 5 years later!

I purchased as-is coffee tables and shelving...all work fine in my home workshop and I paid about 25% of retail.
