IKEA sells furniture, household goods and food. It has 392 (2016) locations over the world in 51 countries.  Their items require set-up by the purchaser, which has been known to be quite frustrating at times and has become the fodder of jokes (as an example, when founder Kamprad passed away in 2018, it was joked that the funeral would be delayed six weeks to assemble his IKEA coffin).
