A weekend

Renters and apartment dwellers want unique furniture but lack space for workshops or tools.

Create kits with pre-cut parts and instructions for customizing popular IKEA pieces.

Urban millennials would pay for affordable customization that doesn't require woodworking skills.

Start with plans for one popular item like the Billy bookcase.

The risk is IKEA changing designs and voiding compatibility.
