Default Ikea vs B&Q for DIY furniture

Its all down to proper quality control of the pieces and proper handling
when being delivered to stores etc.

I have at times bought CD racks from CPC and found seemingly the same items
are not quite the same size so mucking up the look of a run of them, and in
two cases some end cheeks not even drilled correctly to fit the bits
together. I suspect there is a kind of cheapo we make anything outfit that
these companies use to make stuff and nobody actually checks the job is
being done right.
