Well the box does say assembly required .

Indonesian glass, Aust standards require table top glass to be tempered ie to shatter into tiny fragments not large sharp shards.

Changing off topic slightly from Col's humourous pic, a thumbsup for one Ikea product.

They have a damascus steel range of chef knives - paring, Santoku, small chef and large chef. All with damascus nickle-steel blades and VERY high quality wood handles (looks like either a type of walnut or very dense copper beech). I was tossing up whether to get the santoku (though have an exceptionally good one) or the small chef knife, and ended up with the small chef.

Tiger stripe / fiddle back wood, and the blade is DEFINITELY dangerously sharp - having worked as a chef for a few years, I can tell you this is sharper than ANY Wustoff - Trident or Victorianox knife I ever owned (still own). Absolute delight to use, and not even a hint of edge blunt yet (haven't needed to steel it even once - damascus holds edges well).

A little expensive at $50, but cheaper than the German/Swiss equivalents, and definitely cheaper than custom Japanese knives!

I have to jump in this as a fan of IKEA stuff.

Their furniture is solid as a rock and great value ( in Europe at least..).
As a young family in England, we started out in IKEA with a flat-pack bed and wardrobe. 16 years later, all still as solid as a rock.

Apparently, they are now in Auckland but at 3x the cost...

Anyway, awesome gear.

There is some parallel imported IKEA, it is nice stuff for sure. And not a bad price considering. Couple of shops we've found with a bit of a range.
But last I heard Ikea have decided they won't enter the NZ market as it is too competitive and they cannot price accordingly due to shipping and added costs. Shame really, might make the local flat pack imports take notice and improve their offerings.
