Hannah Wilson says:
I reckon the piece misses how IKEA’s flat-pack model has genuinely changed what’s accessible for everyday Kiwis on tight budgets. We’ve all wrestled with an Allen key and wonky shelves, but there’s something to be said for furniture that doesn’t require remortgaging the bach.
Dave says:
Reckon you nailed it on the accessibility side, but keen to know if you reckon IKEA’s pushed local makers out of the game or if there’s still room for both.
