IN THE RED CORNER (LEFT) Hailing from the mean streets of Surrey in England... 'SIIIIIIIIIR' Terence Conran Design heavyweight and lifestyle genius,

WIIITH

The MING HIGH Weighing in at £457 (Yes folks that IS roughly $900 U.S. or 670 Euro)

VS.

ANNNNNNND

In the blue and yellow corner (right) Straight outta the 'hoods of Älmhult, Sweden.... THE Master of the Mass Produced... MISSSSSTER Ingvar Kamprad,

WIIITH

The MYNTA at a featherweight $49.99 cnd ($43 U.S. or 32 Euro)

They're fairly evenly matched height-wise but Conran does have that reputation as a heavy hitter....

Things always look more appealing when I can actually afford them! I really wish we had an Ikea, geez we have just about everything else where I live. I would totally did that place.

Just saw this bad boy at my local Ikea As-Is department for $29.00. Tempted to snatch it up, I missed my op. when angry toddler knocked over another knicknack and a savvy shopper scooped up my prize. There's always next time... at the As-Is dept.

Judjing solely on Conran's lack of swedish meatball plate, my vote goes to IKEA.
