It could be called "Aeki". This is a good idea, as flatpack furniture is a nasty mixture of wood, plastic and metal and it hard to recycle. Taking things apart properly would help make it recyclable. |

Perfect. [+] Currently, I need to discard a piece of furniture
assembled shipinabottle-wise and now too big to fit through
the door. |

Det cord will be your friend on that one, we surmise. Either for the furniture or the doorway; doesn't really matter which ... |
