Vermont is covered with trees and craftsman.

There's 250+ years of well-crafted handmade solid wood furniture, basically everywhere. And often for very affordable prices.

Wood furniture lasts longer than particle-board veneer and paper; it doesn't fall apart on the second or third move. It can be passed down through generations. And it's already in the state.

I'm not sure there would be much demand for IKEA in Vermont because finding real furniture is as easy as finding real maple syrup.
