No, really. Ikea Stockholm deserves a little mention for finally doing what everyone has been saying they should do for the past 10 years (make furniture that won't break when you move it, nor drive you to emotional meltdown during its assembly). I swear I saw the "pouffe" (cowhide ottoman at right - $199) at a staged open house, and there was something about it that made me think Ikea, and yet I just couldn't be certain...
Now, despite the compliment we're intending to give above, we do need to say that because Ikea CEO Anders Dahlvig has been so welcomely vocal about building and packaging sustainably, it'd be nice if he could endeavor to make the pouffe's "genuine cowhide" look genuine without also being genuine.
