My first car, back in the 60s, was a Volvo P1800, very cool
sports car.
In my later years I had 3 Volvo wagons.
When I moved to Slovakia, I saw my first Ikea store, where I bought most of my household goods and apartment furniture.
Keep in mind, it was intended as discardable, but it breaks down into very flat packages, so I shipped my computer desk, book shelves, kitchen items, lamps, and other Ikea items to my new place in the Philippines, all taking up very little shipping space along with my other items.
For the price, Ikea is excellent for young apartment starters or somewhat temporary furniture and accesories.
I have three IKEA sofas that have been around for years. Love them! Their kitchen cabs are pretty high rated although I don’t have them.
On Christmas I brought up IKEA to my SIL and she said “What’s IKEA?” She must live under a rock!
