To those saying it's a truck at a furniture store: Y'all, it's IKEA. Almost everything is boxed, you don't need the truck. I manage just fine in a Mini Cooper (although admittedly that's because of the hatch back, my Ford sedan has some trouble on the longer boxes).
That said, trucks have a place. Just not sure why they're allowed to sell to normies such long trucks; we really need regulation on that. It's getting rather dangerous in parking lots for the exact reason this guy put on his notification. Trying to get out of a spot with a long vehicle next to you is a bit of a roll of the dice because of visibility especially.
Okay, go buy a couch. Or a table.
Even with the hatchback open you're not safely fitting a couch in there, a box that's 37" by 69". Mind you, that's just one of the 4 boxes.
My compact SUV can just barely it all the Morabo couch boxes in a single trip...
Plan on buying more than that couch? Too bad. Not fitting.
that's why we don't have couches or tables outside of USA. You just can't go buy them and there's no very easy and practical way around it.
...what
Here, let me adjust your sarcasm detector
Ah, appreciate that, thanks.
when?
