It was about 3 weeks ago. I don't think "reversion" is an appropriate term here. Ikea is a Swedish company that entered North American markets. Amost all of their items are designed and labelled in hard-metric units. Imperial units are sometimes listed as secondary. Some of the larger display signs are Imperial, but the labelling is (and probably will remain) metric.
