Longread #380 -- Män With a Vän -- 9/6/13

With a change in roommates, I find myself needing to buy some new furniture. I hate the idea of going to Ikea, but having everything under one roof does offer some appeal. Then I think about bringing it home and following their instructions to assemble the new furniture, and again, I abhor Ikea. This whole process reminded me of this article of a man with a unique, Ikea-oriented business model.

Happy Friday!

  1. That is an amazing idea. I wonder what standard IKEA has to meet to say "easy to assemble" if any.
