All this talk about Swedish stuff...
The first girl I ever asked to "go steady" was Swedish. We were in 5th grade at the American School of Algiers. Her name was Helena Ehrenstråhle. Her dad was the Swedish ambassador to Algiers.
I loved going to her house (the Swedish embassy) because they always had stuff there that we couldn't get on the local market...good ice cream, chewing gum, etc... This was probably in the 1968-1970 time-frame.

I was beginning to think I know where a lot of forum members hang out.

Went to IKEA for the first time a few weeks back...have no idea what any of the furniture was like...I was too busy trying to figure out where in the store I was and how I'd get the F out of there if I had too. Most confusing freakin' store I've ever been to. They want you to "follow the yellow brick road" around that freakin' place. Even the wife was EXTREMELY uncomfortable.
WTF is IKEA?
Swedish furniture you put together. Really popular stuff but for the life of me, I can't figure out why.
Personally, I see it as high end college dormitory stuff, but the price tag on their stuff is high!

Thank You. Now that said.This is not a Swedish thing. Everything I bought in Belgium in 1981-84 was like that. I first saw that "Pin and twist lock" here in the states in the mid 90's. Brought on flashbacks.Swedish furniture you put together. Really popular stuff but for the life of me, I can't figure out why.

Walk through IKEA with a reloader's eye, and you'll probably end up with more purchases than the wife. It's terrifying/amazing.
The furniture is typically decent stuff, and cheap. It's not for old dudes living in mountain compounds, trying to will it three generations down.
