I clicked through because I assumed it was tongue in cheek and thought it might be amusing. I'm sure whatever K and K do will be in terrible taste and be as baffling as Kanye's tweets. I guess a lot of people missed the humor. Maybe they are unfamiliar with Kanye's tweeting reputation?

I'll add my 2 cents for anyone it may help: My IKEA experience was fabulous.

The employees were never harried and were knowledgeable and creative beyond my wildest expectations. They really know their product line and are able to make invaluable suggestions.

My cabinets are a year old, and so far so good. We are planning on buying more for our office soon.

Yeah! Thanks so much for the Monday morning laughs. Way to start the week!

Wow. Just wow. Thank god I got inspired to go through everything I missed on AT the past couple of weeks or I might have missed this.

Yeah! I have a cassorole I've been dying to make, but it's too big so I've been wanting to try halving it and wondering what pan to use.

Love this and much prefer the new finish. I love MCM pieces like this, but I don't love that orange tone many of them have. I did something similar with a pair of night stands, but without the Citristrip. I just sanded of the old finish and then stained them, and I love that I got rid of the really orange tone.

I find it repellant, but that's the direction they've been moving: oversized, ostentatious and in just plain bad taste.

So manly! Man I love this. Count me in for the full tour!

Okay. I perused the comments and have to chime in that @garimi has the best plan. I have used howard's restore-a-finish and it does not work well on very badly damaged finishes. I had really bad drink "rings" on a similar mid-century walnut table and it left the rings darker than the original finish because the damaged parts absorbed the products differently from the undamaged parts.

Even though my piece was veneer, I sanded off the finish slowly and carefully with a palm sander. Then restained the top. I had no trouble at all matching my refinished table top to the rest of the piece's original finish. After several attempts at fixing it, I did exactly what @garimi describes and it turned out perfectly.

Land of Nod has been BRINGING it with the last few collections. They have so many amazing things - textiles, lamps, art. Can't wait for the new catalog.
