One issue is that while the design of Ikea stuff hasn’t changed much over the years, the materials have. I’ve seen particle board shelves replaced with cardboard composite sheets, with a reduction in weight rating. It’s a sustainability thing.
However, that’s not to say it’s not still worth a go if you take the necessary precautions.
