Amazing business success, but I hate their furniture.

The funeral will take place after they figure out how to put the casket together...

I still have some IKEA bookshelves from 30 years ago. When I needed cheap furniture to startup our home.

I love Ikea stuff!
And yes, I also have a billion of those wrenches.
I hope that the company is in good hands, and can maybe start opening up more stores and sell online.

a few extra dowels left over, and just chuck the allen wrench in the casket before you close it.

They are the best place around for batteries and light bulbs.

I wonder if his family will have to assemble his casket before they can bury him?

They are the best place around for batteries and light bulbs.I got a bathroom scale at IKEA for $5. regular price. It's around 15 years old now and still working, even though I keep it next to the refrigerator and use it twice a day.

Incredible success, but their products are low quality. I cannot stand how the store winds around to keep shoppers "captive."
definitely made his mark on the world!
