No, that wasn't me . I don't remember much but I do recall the cable spools.
Originally posted by Great Big SteesYes, now that you mention it... They weren't comfortable, but I remember thinking simplicity is the way to go. And the bottle, that would be typically me. 🙂

Originally posted by PonderableIKEA is big in Australia too. For rented city apartments it's great - doesn't overwhelm the tiny rooms. Not so popular in sprawling suburban houses, except in kids' rooms and the study/den/guestroom.
I assume that IKEA succeeded in becoming the household name for affordable furniture in most of Europe...

They also have Ikea in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Taiwan, Malaysia, China, Israel, Dominican republic, Thailand, Macau (had to Google that), Egypt, Qutar, Jordan, Indonesia, South Korea and Morocco.
Still western?
Actually Japan was the fifth country to have Ikea in 1976. Ireland didn't have it's first store until 2009...
A word on health and safety re IKEA's under the bed large storage drawer on wheels.
Never temporarily prop it up against the foot of your bed whilst wondering where to relocate it. Today at 04:00 I tripped over mine and almost fell flat on my face into it in the dark as it had fallen onto the floor during the night.
