IKEA Ugly Sofa Contest

Wow! Look what I found:

It’s an ugly sofa contest through IKEA. What struck me as ironic is this: Ikea makes some awesome looking furniture, but what lies underneath is ugly! The ugly sofa contest will consist of some nasty looking sofas, no doubt, but I assure you many will be great sofas... perfectly built with sound materials. You should not dismiss your old sofa or judge it simply on how it looks!

Needless to say, people will miss the irony of this contest. I’ve seen what lies beneath the cool exterior of IKEA furnishings. Although Ikea has some awesome stuff, the upholstered pieces are sad and poorly built.

This is an example of an ugly sofa we came across, but we knew what was underneath... great bones and tons of potential!

Sofa After:

With its new life, this 1960's sofa will out live any sofa you find at IKEA and will be around for generation after generation. Yes, the IKEA furniture may look nice, but have you ever thought about what is under the skin?
