This is already super-popular among large Japanese companies. Uniqlo was built on that tactic.

- rob74 6y agoI think there are a lot of "first-world" companies that have copied this approach. See also "Design and Quality: IKEA of Sweden. Made in [insert cheap-manufacturing country here]."
- ulfw 6y agoI've never met anyone who equated 'quality' with IKEA. Cheap, yes. Practical, maybe. Convenient, certainly. But quality? Sorry but haha. No.
- Aeolun 6y agoIkea has a few higher quality items, but not many.
- rob74 6y agoIt's only when you are confronted with really crappy furniture that you start to appreciate "IKEA quality". You shouldn't of course confuse "quality" with "luxury", but for the price you pay, you (usually) get stuff that looks Ok and will do its job reasonably well for a pretty long time. Also, everyone likes to complain about how difficult IKEA furniture is to assemble and how bad the instructions are. We recently ordered a custom-made bed from a smaller company, and the quality was undeniably better than IKEA (OTOH it also cost about 5x as much as the average IKEA bed), but still the instructions skipped about half of the information required...
