Nils Gets His Ikea Furniture!

Last month we reported on Nils, a German man stuck in a house with no furniture. He was patiently waiting for the new Ikea catalog to arrive so he could select new furniture for his apartment. What made this experiment by Ikea so interesting is that you could actually communicate in real-time with Nils using Facebook and Twitter. I admit that I was addicted to watching his interactions with the outside social media world.

Today we can all rejoice as Nils has his furniture. The Ikea delivery agents showed up with the new furniture and helped him get it all together. The room looks pretty nice - that sure is one wall of bookcases! I would have opted for more seating and probably situated the television a bit higher.

Here's a video of progress in the room - it's clear the video isn't in real-time as all of that furniture required assembly:
