The electronics and frame of IKEA's electronic standing desks are whitelabled products from Rol Ergo - so that's probably why it feels premium, as it's not made by IKEA :-)

I have feeling that the list of items made by IKEA is non-existant. Everything is done by subcontractors. I am saying this neutrally.

For example, I am buying some stuff specifically from IKEA, because: 1. They provide longer warranty 2. It's cheaper than the non-white label alternative (looking at you, Blum furniture fittings for example)

I need a super good reason why my next gas stove, oven and dishwasher are not from IKEA.

Well these are all European products, so yes if you are in the US it's probably cheaper to buy them from IKEA. In Europe you can get the non-IKEA branded version (their appliances are made by Electrolux AB, which has many brands such as AEG, Zanussi, etc) for cheaper from any home appliances store.
