Is it only ornamental? And why are they usually webbed feet (or at least they are in my experience)?

MODERATORS
People used to take pride in their work, and there was a time when consumers valued quality over price point.
You're never going to walk into a charity shop and find a 100 year old chipboard IKEA wardrobe. Shit is literally made to fall apart and have to be re-bought.
The average worker wasn't buying a table with carved feet 100 years ago. You're experiencing survivorship bias.
I don’t know. IKEA makes some great shit. They’re not the problem imo, Wayfair and other crap is far worse
It totally depends what you buy. IKEA definitely does sell crap, so does every other furniture chain store, but not everything is crap. Really depends on what you look at specifically.
Because it’s cool.
It's known that the more wealth you acquire, the stronger your foot fetish becomes.
It's known.
Not a problem, just cast yourself in a movie if you have the urge to suck toes (or say the n word).
My n Tarantino
Because it hurts less when you hit your foot against it when going to the toilet during the night
Because look at those cute little footsies
