They are a gigantic company. They aren't known to support evil causes besides capitalism. Ikea has quality furniture, but you have to pay for that. The cheap stuff is โ€ฆ okay, if you really need cheap furniture right now and don't plan to move with it. They have some really great household goods. The vegan hot dogs and kรถttbullar (not the vegetable ones, the fake meat stuff) are amazing.
