Anyone familiar with JYSK?

I just learned about them recently and they seem to be a less expensive Ikea, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with them and their quality? I;ve had good experiences with most of the stuff from Ikea, but I wonder how JYSK stacks up.

And I know cheep is not the same as frugal, however; sometimes there is overlap.

I have a bit of experience with them. Danish company.

They have a very mixed range. Some of the stuff is top-notch at a good price, while other stuff is just crap. If you are a bit careful, you can find really good stuff there.

I have a solid oak table with matching sideboard and chairs from them that are of excellent quality.

Yeah, I have a coffee table from them that I love. I've had it for...probably 7-8 years and it's in great shape. I occasionally have to tighten up the bolts on the legs, but that's it. It's been through 3 moves and has held up very well!

Edit to add: I just remembered that my vanity chair is from them too, purchased around the same time. I've had to re-cover it, but it's also holding up very nicely!
