Thank you Ingemar. Edit: if you remember the Ingemar from Ikea ads, you may be old.
Dudes dead, it’s a holding company now
Still a better company for consumers than most.
I’m saying consumers because it certainly isn’t great for the forests.
For sure, though my family members that have worked for them for a long time say the company is changing in some pretty shitty ways internally
Yeah, I don’t know much about the inside of the company. I’ve got some friends who’ve worked there and had a positive experience, but I’m in Sweden and I’ve no idea how things are internationally.
Edit: clarified what the thing was.
I still have a blast walking around and the build quality from most collections has been up to par if not improved on past pieces.
Definitely. The end product is getting better and better, and they’re easier to build too.
And they don’t pay taxes, apparently. So yeah we’re getting cheap furniture but I do wonder if the net benefit to society would be better if they paid tax.
RIP Ingemar
The way they set IKEA up as a tax shelter so his kids wouldn’t have to pay and inheritance tax is super cool… Good Job Ingvaar
You don’t have to be rich, just smart.
