Ikea ruffles a few feathers with first Korean store

Ikea sold a map in Korea that had "Sea of Japan" printed on it? What could possibly go wrong?

It's amazing that 12-year-old kids are being hired as managers by large companies like this.

I find Ikea expensive everywhere.

I'd have to agree it's expensive, too. I liken it to an overpriced 100 yen / Daiso shop. Buy things you think you'll need but never find a time to use it and end up throwing it out.

Koreans love to get their features ruffled.

Thought I would give Ikea Croydon, South London a visit to peruse there Cafe furniture range.

Over strolled a 'camper than a row of tents assistant floor manager' and declared in a volume that not only most of the store caught his sales patter, but a significant portion of the car park............"Darling, that Marieberg (armchair) looks like it was born on you, the risane mobacka beige cuddles delightfully"...........I told him I needed to be in a seated postion because I felt lightheaded after just glancing at the prices of kitchen stools.

Ikea reeks of arrogant superiority, with a pricing model to match.

there was patriotic outrage over a decorative wall map that marked the waters to the east of the Korean peninsula as the "Sea of Japan"-a red rag to Koreans who call it the "East Sea."

They really childish, I am surprised that there weren't thousands of protesters marching outside of the store.
