Most of the IKEA furniture available globally is manufactured by Chinese and Russian subcontractors and their subcontractors in turn.
There is a large professional furniture trade show coming up in Shanghai from September 11th to 14th and many others this Autumn, Winter and coming Spring all over China. Maybe the OP's daughter could attend one of those for information gathering purposes?
