It was not the government of Sweden that brought the world IKEA.

Not everything is crappy at IKEA: you can get cheap mass pine wood furniture that looks pretty decent (if you paint it to fit your tastes). The cost of such furniture is often cheaper at IKEA than buying the planks of wood at a consumer store.

There is also a tone of crappy pressed wood furnitures that will slowly decay and look ugly 5 years later or will just break and cannot be repaired.

Besides the category error of conflating corporate and state implementations - complaining about the existence of IKEA is a bit like complaining about the existence of fast food. Clearly there is massive demand for both, so lobbing darts at the most successful producers of same avoids all of the interesting questions.

IKEA furniture is my parent's house is about ten years old and doing well. Not sure what people do with theirs, but ours lasts.
