Re: (semi OT?) Ikea

The best thing about the whole thing to me was that I didn't have to
prep the strips and laminate them to make the tops. And at $60 for
the top, I couldn't buy the the material for that.

Same, same. Reminds of the $120 teak porch rockers from Sam's. I have 3 of
them ... can't buy the wood for what I paid for them.

BTW .. great thread, a real treat when it happens that the participants
actually know how to use the language!

The OP, Mark, is quite a writer. His post was an enjoyable read, and vivid
enough in description to open your mind's eye and just 'see' his family at
Ikea licking away on that cone. :)
