How Ikea's Billy bookcase took over the world

I love the irony of naming yourself "Design Within Reach", while still being out of reach for most people who aren't professionals.

As the owner of several Muji items (trash cans, silverware holders, rolling storage unit, coasters, dish rack), I have to say while they look nice, they're rarely as well thought-out as Ikea. The trash cans don't seal, and the dish rack can't actually hold plates upright in position.

I can't praise enough the quality and functionality of Joseph Joseph items. It seems like everything I own from them meets the advertised functionality and then some. And while expensive, the prices are fair. Great plastics and finishing.

They don't do furniture, though.
