But there is a risk of reverse Ikea effect. That happened to me.
I bought a bed from Ikea, but it came incomplete. And it never was exactly as I wanted it. So I threw away most of the parts and made my own bed around few of the side boards. It didn't take one evening but a week of evenings.
Empowered by that experience I made legs for my desk. Shelf from scratch. Painted one old shelf that would have otherwise gone to garbage. Assembled sliding boxes to go under that bed. Sanded my girlfriends old table. Etc.
We have like one very cheap piece of furniture from IKEA and made lot's ourselves. So it's very bad business model to sell stuff that's not quite right, but has obviously usable parts. If you allow people to design their own shit, you run another risk. Especially with current prices of power tools.
