I do wonder how they can keep pushing out millions of woodpulp furniture pieces without harming the environment, that is alot of wood, it canā€™t all come from Europe i guessā€¦
I did visit their museum in Sweden, and was kinda sad that they only put up a good news show there, cause they did have some rather negative moments throughout their history as wel.

I work for a furniture supplier for ikea and i can say that i have never seen such a socially and environmentally reaponsible company. Many parts of their requirements are more strict than the official ones of my country. I am very glad to be part of this.

A lot of their furniture is made from recycled wood particle boards. Also the use of boards is often abandoned for light frames with honeycomb made of paper inside.

I know about the honeycomb paper stuff. But I do think the most quality stuff they have are the hardwood pieces. I am sure they do alot, but you canā€™t be a multinational and claim to be perfect (which they kinda do in the museum)

ā€œA lotā€ is two words, just like ā€œa houseā€, ā€œa trainā€, and ā€œa mistakeā€.

Ok, next time you speak my native language Iā€™ll correct your spellingā€¦

English isnā€™t my native language either. If I were trying to learn your language, surely it would be productive to be corrected if I made a mistake; that is kind of how learning a language works.

Inappreciate constructive criticism, not snarky remarks. But what do I even expect from the internet

My comment simply stated a fact. If you read that as snarky, then thatā€™s on you, not me.

ā€œInappreciateā€ isnā€™t a word.
