say it aint so

i find flipping through the ikea catalogue to be a welcome distraction from the doldrums of daily life. who doesn't enjoy the prospect of buying an image here or there?

it mildly annoys me that i have no option outside of walmart when it comes to buying cheap furniture. i mean, it's the opposite of clothing and cars and stuff where the status quo comes at a premium. i shop at ikea because it's the cheapest option. period.

which makes me wonder -- is the cost of assembly really twice that of the furniture itself? otherwise, why is every other furniture store in the city so....damn....expensive?
