That's where they belong.

Along with the IKEA furniture.

Some of their stuff is very well designed and made (though often you go to buy the same thing next year to find it has been redesigned subtly to reduce costs and is no longer any good). Some of the stuff is utter crap of course.

True enough. It's not the designs I don't like, so much as it is that nearly everything is made from veneered particle board that chips if you even so much as look at it sideways. The pieces that are made using plywood or solid wood are still pretty reasonable, but they're becoming more and more rare.
