The way IKEA displays product dimensions is a typographical horror. The US imperial measurements don't help either, but still… Get out of ASCII jail!!

matthew butterick's practical typography has ruined my life, this bothers me so much
Our fault for not accepting SI. It would be a nice simple 140cm x 47cm x 75cm. Using ½ or 1⁄2, yes they are different, would be tricky and might introduce error. If I were IKEA it would be decimal inches rounded to 2 decimal places.
