> Yeah, that is why carpenters are still around and no one buys Ikea.
I'm sorry, what? Are you suggesting that Ikea made carpenters obsolete? It's been less than 6 months since last I had a professional carpenter do work in my house. He seemed very real. And charged very real prices. This despite the fact that I've got lots of Ikea stuff.
Compared to before, not a lot of carpenters/furniture makers are left. This is due to automation.
