the idea of setting up an IKEA assembly operation is probably very solid....as long as the final cost is still way below what you would pay to have it made in the first place.
This is going to be an interesting experiment, the way I see it.
1) The really rich won't touch it
2) The new rich won't either
3) The struggling middle class might
4) The poorer of the middle class and the richer of the poor might take to it as a way to imitate what they perceive as being "upwardly mobile" ....
Like I said, it's going to be interesting....

Think of all the new customers that will be buying screwdrivers, and hammers. maybe even drills and bits, as things don't always line up right.
