LOL! That’s what most of mine is! Just lucked up in the flea markets! It’s a site better than that modern, pressboard, laminate $hit IKEA tries to pass off as ‘furniture’.
- I'm poor by Swedish standards, have TWO different IKEA stores that both are about 20 minutes drive away from where I live (eastern ‘burbs of Gothenburg, Sweden) and don't care much for home decorating or spending my money on quality/trendy furniture.
Still my home is (almost) uncontaminated IKEA goods.
Many of my friends, workmates and relatives buy new (mostly “classy”, non-IKEA) furniture every month but I'm happy with having inherited wonderful pieces of genuine workmanship my grandparents (on both sides) once purchased before the IKEA expansion began.
The funny thing about it all is how such furniture from the 1930s and 1940s lately have become much sought after in my corner of the world. Not only do these older products represent a standard no Romanian/Mexican/Chinese subcontractor to IKEA ever could compete with even if they were paid 10 times as much money as they are today per piece, the same goes for many of the well renowed makers of expensive stuff trendy/upper middle class people here in Scandinavia are so found of.
Today, the Western World is stronger than ever before (despite Obama and Usama), but:
Long live REAL quality consciousness!
