I don't, and won't, buy anything that touches food that is made in China. Product safety is a unknown idea there.

I know it was already there when they started the project but I wonder why they didn't change the position of the TV. It ruins the line and symmetry of the windows. Also, that room is so glaringly bright I don't know how you can see the TV in the daytime.

Due to the bedbug epidemic, I'd never buy anything "soft" that's second hand. I'm also starting to despise most Ikea cr@pola.
I don't really consider price when I find something I love. If it's the perfect item, I don't care if it costs $5,000 or $50.

Did you check the rules and regulations? Many cities have noise regulations and my co-op building has an 80% carpeting rule.

I remember studying this place in school. The king vetoed the idea of raising the house as he wanted to be able to walk directly into the garden. This gives the house its squat, odd appearance. The exterior shot looks like the building has almost sunk a little. Another problem this made is that when you're down in the garden and look back at the palace, half of it is blocked by the hill.

@thorndale: You might want to check your facts before you attempt sarcasm: Egypt is not one of the "oil" economies and uses nearly all its oil domestically.

I too thought of BDDW immediately. I wonder if the prices of these match BDDW's . . .

I agree; they don't seem to be to people's liking in the U.S. I grew up eating boiled eggs (and Swedish egg cups) but probably because my mother's European.
