Where do you think Ikea furniture is made?

It is what you might have guessed. At Google Answers, fobchina-ga writes:

IKEA, the top-ranking furniture company in terms of sales in the
world, has shifted its purchasing center from Singapore to the
Mainland China. It has established five purchasing centers in Harbin,
Qsingtao, Guangzhou, Yunan Province and Shanghai. For example, it
purchases 300 containers of furniture in Tsingtao every month and
sells them to the whole world. A Shanghai-based sofa factory
manufactures sofas of RMB 100 million for IKEA every year.

Facinating.

I always thought it was made in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, then shipped to Sweden to be stamped "Made in Sweden" and then again shipped out to the world.

Cheers,
