I was always under the impression that Ikea designed and sold all of its own designs. Is it really a place that sells mostly desirable private-label goods from 3rd parties, a-la Trader Joe's?

My bother was telling me last weekend about http://www.prettypegs.com/us/ http://www.prettypegs.com/us/. Apparently there's an ecosystem developing around Ikea furniture to provide that.
Also, to completely change the subject. I recently learned that all the Philips-looking screws on Ikea furniture are "Posidriv" screws not Philips and you need special driver for them, because a Philips driver will likely ruin them.
