And people say the Swedes didn't do anything good.

I LOVE THIS STORE! Especially when I'm looking for quality (albeit, cheap) furniture. Pretty much everything I own is Ikea, except for my bed, dresser, and TV stand. But then again, I'm getting rid of my bed in favor of a futon soon (but I won't get an IKEA futon, so I guess it still stands to...)

ARGH. Shut up, me.

I still love Ikea. The White Marsh store is great. Bought a coffee table and a stool today for about $40. Good stuff! Ikea = rule.

Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :

Yes, they have a nice selection. Pretty much anything you'd need in a home.

If you're Swedish, that is.

Nah, just if you have good taste.

Maybe the selection in the US, UK and asia is radically different from ours. It shouldn't be...

Ahh, how times change. A while ago, we had threads saying "POkeMon KICKS ASS! I choose you, PIkachu! PIKKKKAAAA!"

Now we have threads about furniture. *sniff*. Everyone's growing up.

Speaking of that, I need to take my heart medicine. Damn ticker's acting up on me. Well, some Jim Beam will put out that fire!

I know of people that have bought stuff from ikea, and it's reasonably good, very well worth the price.

Yes, I bought a nice coffee table for $20.

When I get my studio apartment, it will also serve as my dinner table and work desk.

Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :

Was it one of these? Because if it is, we have the same selection in our stores! Cudos to IKEA!

I GOT THE IKEA POWERUP AND WON THE TABLE!!!!!

Oh, and I have the tall Ingo. A great improvement from my earlier coffee table, which was about 22" across...

I wonder why IKEA hasn't got an international homepage.

And clever art. Both of which IKEA sells. With low shipping costs, so you don't pay inflated prices. Some Assembly Required.

I love the assembly! Makes me all sweaty and shekshie! NOT!!! But if you pull it off you feel like you've done something right in this screwed-up world.
My computer desk turned out functional. *and there was much rejoicing* Yaay!

Ikea is a good place to buy furniture, I bought a bookshelf from the store 8 years ago and it survived moving and an earthquake in 1994. It now holds a good portion of my Star Trek stuff.

And Jeff, the people who said that the Swedes didn't do anything good apparently never met the Swedish bikkini team in a Saab convertable.

Maybe you should invest some money and buy a real one.

Why?

For Nice BookShelf.

I just bought a bookcase on Sunday. Heavy. Nice, though. My entire library fits on it, all unconsciously perfectly psychologically arranged for questions of interest to be asked during perusal.
