Default Ikea Effect: The Science of Cheap, Crappy Furniture

I figure the later.

My ex taught me about antiques.

Costly? Yes. Worth it? Yes.

Anecdote: Went to the closest Ikea to see what all the hub-bub was.
Found early CFL light-bulbs for 1/3rd what HD was charging. Then,
after going thru their "maze", was dumped at the gardening/return
section, jes before the exit door. Got to see all the returned junk
and why it had been returned. Scary!

I quit shopping at Ikea.
