The Best Selling Furniture Company

Have you visited Ikea lately? Nothing much significant changes since months ago, they have just added some new collection of furnitures in their store. New beds, new sofas, new lighting, new toys, you name it.

Taking camera into Ikea is not allowed, but not illegal - the heaviest punishment you might get is just to get lost from the Ikea premise that's all. I got my camera with me and so I took the opportunity to take some of the nice things they have added into their store recently. They should thank me for advertising their products here.

I did not get to take a lot of clear pictures, but these are the excellent ones that is eligible to be posted - Crystal balls on top of a little light bulb. When you have one or two in your bedroom, switch off the lights and you can imagine you're in the galaxy by looking at it.


Assorted colours

It sucked when you put it under the flourescent lights on. Like this:


4 in a row - i'd suggest choose one colour will do

Other lighting attractions:

The centre one is a cute ghost miniature

There were also F.A.Qs (Frequently Asked Questions) in the carpark that goes in advertising columns. Ever wondered:

1. Why Ikea is keeping their things (their designs) flat? - "Ikea furniture is flat-packed. This means it's cheaper for us (Ikea) to store and transport."

2. Why Ikea is giving the customers the hassle to assemble the furnitures on their own? - "Even though it's tricky sometimes, it means not paying someone in a factory to do it for you."
