The new Ikea store in Adelaide opening this month (our first) is right
next to the new airport, hence why it's kind of a big deal.
I have no desire to build my own furniture, Ikea or otherwise.

OK, speaking as someone who grew up with IKEA- and other
furniture you put together yourself... How else can furniture
work? If you can't take it apart, how do you get it through doors
and such?
Colour me confused.

In the case of a particular G-Plan three piece suite and a two bedroom
flat in Bedford with a narrow and right angled corridor protected by
fire-doors, you start to remove the glass from the window in the
bedroom, break the glass whilst attempting to remove it, pass the three
piece suite through the resulting hole left having removed the remains
of the glass from the window and then go out and buy a new piece of
glass which you then fit in the hole..
Upon moving from the flat some years later, you decide that the whole
process is completely over-rated, and remove the three piece suite
through the doors and the corridor after some careful work with a very
large hammer and a saw..

Did you at least buy the hammer and saw at Ikea?

No, we didn't. We prefer our tools and furniture to be robust :-)

Ikea furniture *is* robust. My father is still using shelves he got
when he was a student, and he's a few years from retiring now.
They held up through several moves, too[1].

[1] Both the shelves and my father.

Many of the bookcases are robust, it's true. Pressed sawdust is
mostly the domain of desks and such.
