levelsio says Claude Code can design your furniture cheaper than brands; critics do the math

levelsio claims Claude Code (with Opus 5.5) can design furniture part by part and output a bill of materials so you order parts and assemble yourself, cutting brand markups like a $30,000 sofa. rms pushes back: most people struggle with IKEA assembly, and one-off CNC parts with embedded fasteners often cost more than a jobshop building the whole piece.
