Isn't IKEA now mostly branded Chinese tat with a slightly premium pricing? I have noticed that you can buy good quality Chinese stuff cheaper without having to pay for Western branding. Now that Western corporations are outsourcing whatever they can to make extra profit, basically becoming a shell and investment vehicle rather that a company actually making something, I think that it is now more ethical to actually buy from Chinese corporations without Western involvement. These greedy corporations are a part of the reason why Western economies are tanking. No meaningful jobs and people can't keep up paying off their debts. They also lobbied governments to put regulations on top of regulations so only big corporations could keep up with changes and it wouldn't be possible for a small business to even start unless they also outsource to Asia. I am sorry for quite a rant, but when I see IKEA it hits a nerve.
