Ikea, as you probably know, is a furniture-retailing-industry phenomenon; millions of people buy its products because they’re generally inexpensive and easy to put together. Plus, they almost universally come with everything you need to get going.
Almost every time I’ve put together an Ikea product, I’ve wondered as I sifted through the bolts, screws, and Allen wrenches: how do they design these things?
I hear that shoppers can stay the night at the Ikea in Stockholm, and that they serve you breakfast in the morning. Let’s just hope that it’s not the same $1 breakfast they have here - that’s gross.
Update:
It’s actually in Oslo. I also found this funny Aussie comedy sketch which raises the issue for the need of best testing (it gets a little racy near the end, so nsfw).
