I wonder will his coffin be self assembly or will it come in one piece.

The mainstream media in Sweden has also been trying to smear his reputation by calling him a fascist for decades. We don't really care if he wasn't a leftist-voting, pride-parade marching vegan - we still love him and he is considered one of the greatest swedes of all time.

Ps. If you're going to attack his legacy 24hrs after he passed away - get your facts right. It's Elmtaryd and not Elmhult.

Rest in peace Ingvar.

Would've been nice to've shown his modest house also! He wanted to set an example! Made satisfying things for us! By contrast many Politicians *claim* they're going to satisfy people but just satisfy themselves!

Nope. He was not a pioneer of flat packed furniture. He borrowed the idea from someone else. And that guy regretted it later.
