Never set foot in one.

Did you know... the correct pronounciation is Ikea to rhyme with 'lick ear', and not 'eye kea'.

He changed the world with his simple idea. It may not all be good - he certainly didn't go out changing his furniture and accoutrements every year, choosing to live a simple life - but his big blue box is known across much of the world.

The Billy bookcase is so ubiquitous it is used as an indicator for available disposable income in economies.

It's a very odd spiral. I can usually work out the shortcuts but Southampton defeated me.

I may have to give up Ikea now that I've been reading about his staunch support of the Nazis and the tax evasion.

Now I got a little bit of a shock when I heard his story yesterday as for some reason I thought he picked up were MFI left off. But apparently he set up ikea long before MFI was even thought about... and he was a proper entrepreneur as he started selling matches while at school and founded ikea at the young age of 17.

A great achievement

I think you can cut him a little bit of slack for the Nazi links as he was a teenager at the time and did later renounce his affiliation. Not so much for the spaghetti tax structure or Ikea's use of East German prison labour in the 1980's though

Yeah, that bit is troubling me.
