Building flat-pack furniture is a major pain in the ass, so much so that a MIT team has spent years and millions of pounds solving the problem.
When a company this big decides to make even a slight change to how it makes or sources its products, it's a massive undertaking. That's exactly what Ikea is doing right now—and I got an inside look at the process.
