    Okay, that was humorous, but I don't see how it's selling <I>anything</I>. It seems more like a commercial for safes or locks to me

      Nice

      But I hate the furniture Ikea sells.

        I'll never look at IKEA the same after seeing Fight Club.

            Edward Norton's character was focused on his little Ikea existance. Right up until he bombed his apartment.

            It was a good monologue, and I won't attempt to butcher it here.

              IKEA? Isn't that the company where there's always the one screw or hole most needed for setting up the thing yourselves without major hassles missing (or just half a centimeter displaced)????

                  I don't know.. my opinion of Ikea has changed since I bought my new desk from them. Some of their cheap stuff is pretty crap, but the desk I got (the Effektiv T with beech finish) is solid as a rock. It's a two piece L shaped table (no drawers, so really not a desk), and it's only got three T shaped legs.

                  There are massive bars running underneath it for structural support, and it's strong enough for me to sit on (I'm 6'6"/198cm, 230lbs/104kg). It doesn't even budge.

                  I guess the old saying is true at Ikea as well. You get what you pay for. If you're going for cheap, you'll get cheap, but if you pay for the high-end stuff, you get pretty good quality.
                  Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox
