IKEA_2011_catalog

I was a bit incredulous when I noticed this sticker slapped on every copy of the new IKEA catalog on display at the store recently.  Isn’t the whole point of a catalog that it’s something you look at while curled up on the couch (or while in the john)?  Don’t be tempted, as I was, to steal a copy…there’s not much of a difference between this year’s and last year’s.  The only items I dogeared are:

Curiously, the new KIVIK sofa (width 89.75") is listed for $399 in the catalog, but $599 online.  Features a layer of memory foam in the seat cushions.
