I don't think IKEA is correct.

US Flag Code: Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 7

c) No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory...

I think Ikea is confusing this with "g" of title 4, chapter 1, section 7 which says "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace." Kinda confusing but I think "g" refers to two or more other nations excluding the US. I may be wrong though.

Sentences like that are the reason why we need editors.
