We had MFI here in Britain when I was a boy, although it didn't fall apart immediately it wasn't any better than IKEA or Temu and used the same construction methods.

My late father was a decent carpenter and even made some furniture or fixed up older stuff, but as he got older he had both the responsibilties of fatherhood and got a job in the petrochemical industry which meant he had less spare time but enough money to buy at least partly ready made furniture..
