R.I.P. katalogen

 



Goodbye, catalog.
Can't say I was a fan.
A decade ago, I needed a couch.
 
On my only trip ever to IKEA, looking for an "Ooop-land"--spelled uppland--I was directed to look back with the soderhamns (sectionals). Cute.

On the store map, the mobel (furniture)
was a six-hour journey in the endless warehouse.
I bought my sofa at Leon's.
Sorry.

Didn't catalog customers look up the sota namn (cute names) of stuff before they came to a IKEA?
They're screwed.
Galna svenskar.
(Crazy swedes.) 

 Uppland = a sofa model
Soderhamns = a sectional sofa model
Mobel - furniture
Sota namn = cute names
Galna svenskar = crazy Swedes
