Not to completely spring to IKEAs defense here, but I heard they really were affected by production and shipping problems during covid. It's reasonable prices would go up, and at least good that they are going down again.

Yes at least they bring them back down. Most companies just said fuck it, let’s keep the price jacked! Greedy Capitalism at its second worst. First worst is how they destroy the environment.

Lumber was especially affected during covid. Prices soared and demand was peak.

If 99% of the "wood" they used was lumber and not laminated compressed sawdust and cardboard, that would make sense
