      But you can’t drive it home. How do you do that last little bit where cars are not allowed? In the Netherlands, I’ve seen special mini delivery vans and bike vans. But I never really got to see anyone delivering something interesting.

            They probably drive it with a mini forklift all the way to your house. If you’re up on the 5th floor with no elevator, you’re screwed. But maybe they require a service elevator. The IKEA mentality where everything in packaged in a small box or boxed is probably very important. But that’s why I’m asking.

            A few weeks ago we drove the minivan to a nursery and we were able to fit 4 different trees in it. I bet the whole nursery business is complete different. Like unless you got yard or rooftop you’re not getting a tree. Just an example of how things would be different in small ways.
