Just went to the newly opened one in Cincinnati. Barely got out there before the wife went crazy. Easy to understand why though. :tuba:

I hate IKEA. Well....it is a great idea, and when i saw the food outside the checkout i got really excited.

BUT.......

last summer i sold a lot of furniture that was old and just taking up too much space in my room. So after everything is gone, i got to IKEA to get a new desk and book shelf. Having to put that together was just more than i expected. It was like a large model and i was always paranoid that a piece was missing. In the end everything was fine. But next time, i will just go to Sears and bring it home in one piece (maybe two). :lol:

My experience with IKEA didn't go nearly as well. A Dresser. Simple, small, three drawer dresser. Parts that didn't fit properly, screws that didn't fit (and subsequently got stripped by the stupid little alan key), total nightmare. I had to epoxt the thing together in order for it to be useable....a 20 minute project ended up taking an entire day to fix. I will never buy any furniture from there again (plus, any couch or chair I have ever seen from IKEA was just so damned uncomfortable). I do like some of their kitchen gadgetry, though.

Yeah that reminds me. I am sitting in my desk chair i bought from ikea which after a day of walking around the store seemed comfortable. actually, it isn't at all i would recommend steering clear of their furniture. Unless of course you want to have a sore back or any other discomforts. :lol:

Make an exception for the Pöang chair. I don't know what "Pöang" means, but I've had one for a year and it's still very comfortable. 8)
