I live too terribly close to the first IKEA in America; it makes so much
money that the company built a Performing Arts Center at our high
school.
I find the Ikea documentation interesting. Sometimes, it is easy to
follow. Other times, though, it is so terribly confusing...I put
together a file cabinet for my husband a couple of weeks ago. It took
me forever to figure out which cabinet side went where, and which was
the top and bottom. It would have been nice to at least show some
measurements -- they could put the numbers in both American and metric
measurements; most people can understand one or the other.
