Robotic manipulation robustness often founders on the physics gap between simplified simulations and the resistance-laden real world. In this work, we emphasize that physical realism in articulated interaction is an important ingredient for robust policy learning. We present Real-IKEA, a dataset and simulation framework designed with physical accuracy as a first-class goal. Real-IKEA provides 1,079 articulated asset configurations, derived from 83 authentic IKEA handles and knobs processed through a meticulous six-step physical workflow. For contact-geometry accuracy, we introduce a bidirectional surface-deviation metric to quantify collision meshes. For dynamics realism, we establish resistance-calibrated configurations that vary damping and friction. Crucially, we demonstrate through a Reinforcement Learning (RL) policy that high-fidelity assets enable the discovery of robust "hooking" and "levering" strategies that prioritize mechanical advantage over fragile friction-pulling. Together, these results position Real-IKEA as a critical benchmark for developing manipulation policies capable of human-level robustness in articulated object tasks.
