IKEA normally includes a simple Allen wrench in the bag of small parts, if there are fasteners that require that. The store assumes you have a flat head and a Phillips screwdriver, however.

I've yet to see ANY product from China that includes a metric wrench, cheap or otherwise. I suspect the rest of your "facts" are equally inaccurate. Well John, he sure told you off! But for his and your information, this past week I purchased a small end table from a local furniture store and not only did it come with a cheap 5.5 mm allen wrench, the fasteners were a real muddle. There were two lengths, a 1/4 inch x 45 mm and the other was a 1/4 inch x 13 mm. I wanted to get the table together or I would have taken one of the bolts to work to see if the screw was a true 1/4 inch or possibly an M6. I don't know if this Ivan Negodki is the same at this link, but why would a 101 year old man care about the US metricating? http://www.mylife.com/ivannegodki Now, this link says 63. So here is the pot calling the kettle black.
