Ikea is the poster child for youth. With staples like the $30 particle board dresser and a $99 platform bed, you’d be hard pressed to find a dorm room (or even a 25 year old’s apartment) who isn’t subconsciously endorsing the discount retailer. However, even with their furniture a little sub-par when it comes to durability, their prices provide an opportunity to look at Ikea in a whole new way: as a materials provider. And that’s exactly what a group of people around the world are using them for.
