"because the wood comes from far away, is usually assembled in China" I saw a documentary on Ikea and the furniture supplier was swedish(?) and made with Swedish wood. All the random tat came from china though. Ultimately though I suspect you're comparing apples and oranges. I would expect a piece of Ikea furniture to be greener than a built to last, solid wood item. But then I wouldn't expect the Ikea furniture to last as long. At what point the made to last furniture become greener, and if that point is reasonable is the question.
