Kudos to Ikea

Impressed that Ikea was willing to run with this idea. Makes one think whether this could be a business idea for them.....a free Ikea hotel in their stores. Maybe add on a section that has a few working room setups in each store (they all seem to be big enough) then have people register to stay for free. Add in a bar and some entertainment and it would be a social scene....Wouldn't cost them too much to have the extra staff and can't imagine the "guests" wouldn't buy something during their stay after being able to try it out for a night or two.

Even got picked up on CNN
