Firstly it's good CGI and secondly, most importantly, IKEA has the advantage of being IKEA. Don't trust the image? Go to one of their huge, trustworthy stores.

Did you know IKEA's catalogue was 75% CGI before reading that article? I knew some was, but I had no idea it was that high of a percentage.

I guess this could be rephrased to "No obviously fake/CGI product photos". The CGI images on the OP's site are very clearly CGI, and the lack of quality is definitely off-putting.

>Tell that to IKEA, their catalog is 75% CGI.

Obviously that doesn't apply to IKEA.

First, because IKEA uses so good CGI (and hybrid techniques) that their photos are life-like and totally believable.

Second, because everybody has seen and touch IKEA products, and can visit an IKEA store at any time. They're not some mystery meat web store.

That's blogspam wrapping http://www.cgsociety.org/index.php/CGSFeatures/CGSFeatureSpe... which they link at the bottom.
