Home Depot has Lowe's; Borders battles with Barnes and Noble; Safeway vs. Albertson's/Lucky; but what is the nearly-identical competitor to Ikea? Surely they can't have patented their business model (Scandinavian design, made by low-wage workers in China?).
JYSK? Jysk...Aha. Looks like Jysk has yet to invade the USA, but if they've got 1350 locations worldwide already, I've gotta think that it'll only be a matter of time.

A Swedish-Chinese one. Cushion/mattress came separate (on the same trip inside the same car, along with a large pile of other Swedish-Chinese goods).

Ikea: it ain't hip anymore, but it sure is cheap.
