For every $1500 they spend, a vibrator is donated in their names to those less fortunate.

Inexpensive storage and lighting solutions, mostly. It's great for college kids just starting out, too.
Personally, I don't like the Swedish Modern style of furnishings, but the shelving and storage stuff can't be beat.
Now, the shuffling, slack-jawed cattle that shuffle around and block the aisles as they scratch their butts in contemplation are enough to drive a person up a wall, male or female...

Twas gonna say, let's start a game anytime somebody goes to Ikea.
Instead of "Where's Waldo" how about "Where's Carl"?

Gonna take a good bribe or heavy duress to get me there.
Never been there but don't you have to assemble all that crap yourself? Why in the hell would you want to do that?

As a matter of fact, you do. Or, it sits in a box forever without being assembled because your wife pissed you off. Just sayin that's an option.
Everybody loves Ikea at first because they have been told that they are supposed too.. Once they buy a few items and realize that it built as cheaply as the crap you buy at Walmart and Target the infatuation ends. I went to the one in Minnesota once.. once..

I made it out. Two desks for the kids home school, candles and candle sticks for the boss. I got lunch at the brewery in Castle Rock. I never did see Bailey Guns there. He must have been in the cafeteria.

Yup. As a indentured apartment dweller, you can't beat cheap furniture/bedding/kitchenware for prices that it won't matter if you have to abandon them later in a fire-sale or just give away.

They DO have fantastic pots and pans, and they last for years.
I try not to buy things that are not made from solid wood, steel or a durable alloy, or space age polymer. Everything else is poop.

Never been. She brought two boxes of that "some assembly required" crap. I put one together. The other is still in the box...from about a year ago, I'd guess.

was just there yesterday, had to take the 1 ton just to pick up the stuff the wife and daughter bought. Decent stuff for the tween/teen rooms. I'm tired of "OAK" that all the other box stores have. Ikea stuff seems more well built than the Walmart China stuff. (same goes for "America"n Furniture Warehouse)
So, Yes, I've been to Ikea.
Decent food cheap too.

Real men don't eat lingonberries.
I went once to buy some minor kitchen stuff and look at their econo space saving apartments.
Every one likes to hate on Ikea and they always say their stuff is cheap and poorly made. Newsflash, it's disposable furniture, and YOU build it. I am yet to have a single item of IKEA anything fall apart on me and this is after more than a decade of shopping there and moving across the country a few times. When I build this stuff it gets put together properly with heavy duty adhesives and I use a drill with the right attachments so I'm not turning their little wrenches for an hour to get one screw set.
I just built an entire toddler room a few months ago and threw it all together for around $500 and the stuff is SOLID! If I would have got the same stuff from some fancy furniture store, I was looking at dropping about 2-3 grand. If you want a piece of furniture to hand down, you are going to be paying 5-10 times as much as you would at IKEA.

I can't say bad things about Ikea items, because I have over 20 years of experience with them.
My parent's $150 kitchen table+chairs lasted over 15 years (bought it about 1992 )
I bought a desk for $100 at around 2001, and i use it at a basement now. I think I assembled and disassembled (screw and unscrew on mdf) over 8 times since my purchase.
I don't think it will be steady enough to handle one more assemble and disassemble.
I Do not have $$$$ to buy stuff from Scandinavian design, oak express, or other high end stuff. Quality is better overall than AFW shits relative to $.

End Of Thread. Y'all f*** off ikea now.

Well...it WAS the end of the thread.
It isn't over til we say it is over.
I got a flyer from ikea in the mail, I didn't even open it, straight to the trash.
My sister likes that store though so I'm sure I'll have to go there and help her with something.

[ROFL1] Thanks for that Bluto!
I'll say this- I've owned only 2 items from Ikea- had no problems with them, and the quality is not bad. When I move to wherever I get a job in Jan, I'll probably live in a condo or something and what furniture I don't already have will probably be from Ikea- mostly because of the price to quality ratio. Hate if you want, but hey, why pay more for something only slightly better?

I buy my furniture at thrift stores...
I bump into it, clean my guns on the kitchen table and when it is all fucked up I drop it off at the next thrift store, get me a tax deduction receipt and buy a new piece for like $20.
Just sayin...[Coffee]

Okay, I really can't argue with that logic... although a good friend of mine bought a TV from a thrift store once and it broke, he took it apart to see if he could fix it, and taped inside the cover (old tube TV) there was a bag of pot! [ROFL1] I'm always weary of stuff from thrift store... also because of this:

They are just like any store, some of it is good and some of it is crap. We bought my sons beds and dressers there and are very happy with all of it.
