The Unofficial IKEA Web Journal

“Dear Sir or Madam,

I am taking a break from assembling my 73×73 “Expedit” wall unit to
express to you my gratitude for how interesting Ikea has made my life
today.

What could have been simply another boring weekend has been
transformed into an adventure, the likes of which I experience only
when I shop at and subsequently assemble furniture sold by your lovely
company.

My first thank-you goes to the service counter, where they
increased my sense of suspense by drawing out the “fifteen-minute wait”
by an additional fifteen minutes! How clever! They knew I’d be doubly
happy when my gray “Expedit” wall unit finally appeared.

This same impish sense of humor was evident when, after the
hour’s drive back home, I unboxed my gray “Expedit” wall unit to find
that it was a black “Expedit” wall unit. Please forward my thanks to
the service staff for sensing my poor interior design choice and taking
it upon themselves to correct it.

Still chuckling over this delightful detour to my expectation, I began to assemble my black “Expedit” wall unit…”
