I thought it was 'More Furniture Ideas'. But I always think of it as M****r F******g Idiots' since a friend who was so annoyed with the junk they had bought named them that.
I won't miss MFI but I did notice a couple of Ikeas out there which I will enjoy investigating. We have 2 large Ikea wardrobes but we have decided not to take them as we want a new house and they all seem to have built ins.
You are right though Mash the MFI ones NEVER go back together again once you take them apart.

Re: Wardrobes
Everything is definitely not cheap in Australia, especially decent
furniture which can cost a fortune!
Plus there's the hassle of shopping for new things.
By all means get rid of junk, but bring decent furniture with you.
Wardrobes may or may not be needed, depending on the extent to which
you have built-ins, but if they're filled with other things they
shouldn't take up too much space.
