Couldn't disagree more. As a craftsman, you are fundamentally not in the same business as Ikea, any more than Ferrari is in the same business as Hyundai.
While you can find people who are willing to pay 10x Ikea for your wares, they're few and far between, and aren't likely to be repeat customers if the products are sturdy enough.
Again, that falls into the "not even wrong" category. First of all, you sell at 20x-50x Ikea, not 10x. People at that end of the market are socially gregarious, wealthy, often into conspicuous consumption... and they always have friends just like them.
