If A $99 dresser seems too good to be true, it's probably because it is....made of particle board and impossible to recycle! Thanks, Ikea :))

00:00The front butt chair and damn near everything else we hawk is made of wood scraps glued together with formaldehyde.
00:07Right, but that's what makes it so much cheaper than actual wood.
00:10God, I'd love to be able to afford solid wood.
00:13God, you dream too big.
00:15Well, if you bought this, you probably can.
00:18Particle board furniture is only marginally cheaper than real solid wood.
00:23But it does have way more downsides.
00:26It can't hold a screw, has lower carry capacity, and is very breakable.
00:32But you already knew that.
