I reformed my house under the measurements of IKEA Pax system (I asked the carpenter to leave clearance height for the 236 cm wardrobes, with width for 5 frames. 4 of them would have sliding mirror doors, and the one in the corner, hinged doors.)

If you explore the far reaches of the cavernous restaurant you can find quiet corners, particularly outside of lunch time, and there are plenty of power outlets out there for hours long work or study sessions with your meatballs and refillable drinks. IKEA is nostalgia itself for me, and this one maintains that...
