However, when transporting it to our "worldwide" warehouse, we are sorry to say that a large consignment tumbled from the trolley and their arms fell off.
We are now in two minds as to whether to fix this problem. Our financial department seems to indicate that it would not be worth our while as what small interest there has been in it is likely to dissipate over the next couple of weeks. However, we have decided to put it through one last test by fixing it firmly to one of our other pieces, the ÅNYÅ and dragging it round our warehouses really quickly to test its endurance.
If the RBSÖN comes through this, there may be a reprieve for it. We will keep you posted.”
We are delighted to inform you that the RBSÖN came through it's rigorous testing and appears to have caught the eye of several more customers as a result. Because of this, we decided to go on a full promotion drive with it, particularly stressing it's suitability to be paired with the ÅNYÅ.
We also recommend putting this chair under a strong light as that appears to be where it performs best.
N.B. There are one or two problems that arise when placing heavy objects on the RBSÖN. Although no harm has come to either the objects or the RBSÖN, things have looked precarious once or twice. It seems that this piece looks sturdier than it actually is. We are not saying that it cannot support the weight of someone more erm... substantial but you might want to be a bit cautious.
