I have no expertise in this area, but a couple of things concern me since it is Ikea. I have purchased Ikea furniture in the past, and overall have been happy with it, but I know others besides myself have found putting together some items of Ikea furniture a bit challenging at times. Second concern is Ikea furniture often requires Ikea unique tools that come in the furniture packages. Ideally this particular items designed for refugees should be able to be constructed with standard tools (wrenches, screw drivers, etc.) and standard bolts, nuts, and washers, so the refugees can fix anything that breaks or replace parts that are lost without going back to Ikea.
It is good to see this type of innovation, and I suspect there are a lot of other innovative ideas in the NGO world along the same line.
