The red-hot market for vintage IKEA, pieces can fetch thousands

Quote for article:

A recent search for Ikea on the online vintage marketplace 1stDibs pulled up everything from a set of Frosta stacking stools for $822 to a pair of yellow Lack end tables for $1,600. “The older Ikea items are really well-made furniture which could last for the next 50 years or even longer,” Lisa says. Resellers like the van Steenbergen sisters say newer pieces can hold up just fine, too. Those that fall apart are usually victims of user error in assembly, poor upkeep or general forgetfulness.
