Warnings Or Dangers: Collapsing New Furniture
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • There is a German new age metal rock band called "Einstürzende Neubauten" (= Collapsing New Buildings). IKEA furniture occasionally falls under the category of "Collapsing New Furniture". Normally this doesn't happen because IKEA craftsmanship is first class, but sometimes the do-it-yourself furniture assembly kit only contains (by accident, I would assume) a Swedish instruction manual. And this fact, combined with the linguistic ignorance of non-Swedish speakers, is the only reason for the occasional IKEA mishap. It is, however, embarrassing when it happens during a job interview, especially one at IKEA.
    The remedy: learn Swedish or request an instruction leaflet in a language of your choice (preferably one that you can read and understand). Or your money back!

     I thought I might take a holiday in IKEA. Do you think a week will be long enough to see everything?
