An Ikea Kitchen

From CBS News/Associated Press:
Couple Sued over "Ugly" IKEA Kitchen
A wealthy Icelandic couple is being sued for installing a cheap IKEA kitchen into an apartment they rented out at a swank hotel in New York City.

The lawsuit filed in Manhattan Wednesday alleges that Jon Asgeir Johannesson and his wife installed an "ugly" kitchen from the low-cost household furnishings store into the 16th-floor apartment at the Gramercy Park Hotel.

The lawsuit filed on behalf of the Paramount Realty Group of America Corp. claims the couple rented the apartment out for about $300,000, then failed to make promised renovations on time.

When they did, the lawsuit claims the kitchen was unsuitable for such a luxurious home.
Playing the worlds smallest violin for the poor disadvantaged landlord. Sheesh -- I like Ikea furniture -- looks good to me. I like the clean Scandinavian look. Posted by DaveH at February 27, 2010 2:34 PM
