    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.

      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.
