Toby and Matt

So the new sofa that I posted about before was delivered today and it turns out the thing is as comfortable as we remembered it in the store. The problem is it seems absolutely humungous in our living room.

Any money we saved on this couch might go towards replacing a lot of the Ikea crap furniture we already had. The couch is just way out of scale. Every thing we own (tv stand, coffee table, end tables, other couch) seems a good 6 inches lower than they need to be now.

This got me thinking that maybe the Swedes are just a short group of people. Well, according to this questionable source, our Swedish friends are actually rather tall on average. It looks like they clock in at 179.6 cm, or 7th on the list. Compare that to the US and our average 175.5 cm for 27th on the list. Tallest = Netherlands and shortest = Cambodia.
