"Enjoy your affordable Swedish crap"
The above line is a quote from an episode of
Futurama, referring to products from furniture retailer
Ikea, in case anyone starts thinking that I have anything against Sweden, the Swedes, or Swedish goods. At the moment, however, I'm not best pleased. At around midday today, I heard an almight crash upstairs. Initially thinking that someone had lobbed a projectile through a window, I quickly discovered the real source of the noise upon going to investigate: one of the shelves of my new bookcase, procured just a few months ago, had collapsed, throwing books all over the room, smashing a whole bunch of Lego sets that were on the floor and leaving a number of paperbacks in less than perfect condition. Judging by the state the bookcase is in now, I would imagine it to be damaged beyond repair, but we'll see. I guess it just goes to show that these inexpensive, assemble-at-home furniture products are not all they're cracked up to be.
