A commercial narrated by Niles Crane? Ikea thought of that.

This spot for Ikea Canada by zig utilizes the voice of David Hyde Pierce (a.k.a. Niles Crane from TV’s Frasier) to help exude the sense of serenity that some might feel when surrounded by an organized, accident-free home environment. Wait, accident free? As this commercial illustrates, Ikea products like the PAX wardrobe system help to avoid shoe avalanches. That’s right. They thought of that.
