IKEA in Taiwan 台灣的宜家

Amazingly, we have IKEA in Taiwan. We've been looking for storage--a BIG DEAL in a small space--and trying to come up with something that is good enough quality, decent price and flexible enough to work for us. It came back to IKEA. Since we don't want to spend the money on custom furniture, modular will be our next best bet.

So we've spent hours and hours doing the design work and the math to see which systems will work best for us. Imagine trying to put together a house in Swedish, Chinese and English! We get a bit slap happy after awhile.

"Are you still talking about Billy or is this Besta?"
"Besta? No, this one is Balståd."
"Ballstud?"
"Well, it was either that or Dombås, right?"
"Dumbass? I don't remember that one. Weren't we just looking at Stoûpud?"
"No, the Stoûpud system didn't have the doors we like."
"Oh, right...how about this one from Rëddikulis?"

In the end, we'll probably go with Sumfriggen or Hunohswat...

Wish us luck.
