Does the store really misspell 'Möbler' or are you just being lazy about the umlaut? Ah. Clicked the link. You're just being lazy about the umlaut.

Hint: in Swedish o and ö are different letters, and if you substitute one for the other, you are spelling it wrong. Gratuitous, non-functional umlauts are a Heavy Metal thing.

Ulrika, html was being weird about the umlaut.

I love this store. Tip: they have an Ebay site as well with some fab bargains - last year I scored this 1940's Swedish flame birch credenza for around $1000. I retrofitted it to hold a 35 inch flat screen, and it's now the centerpiece of my living room.

I recently wrote a review (no umlauts, sorry) on my Chicago-centric home design blog, Strange Closets (http://www.strangeclosets.com).

The direct link is http://www.strangeclosets.com/2008/04/this-week-at-svenska-mobler.html.

Long story short - awesome furniture, awesome people.

Sarah-

Why not try using "view source" on their website to see how they managed the html, then?

monstertruck - Do you know their eBay name? I tried Svenska Möbler but came up with nothing.

So nice to see "us" "here"!
And leading with one of our just-released Shaw images.

For those concerned, we are stident in our umlaut usage, but have nothing at all against heavy metal. Or eBay, though we never list a thing on there.

I hope those of you who enjoy the website make an effort to pop in and see our things in person.

thx,
