Do You Shop At IKEA?

[+ Avalon]

There's none where I live.

 

Here's a young gay Brit couple Dan and Jon that I follow on YouTube. This is their trip to IKEA.

I DON'T

[jjkrkwood]

As I mentioned in ALL the other posts regarding the illustrious retailer, I go there only for the Meatballs.

 

They have some good design, but I am not about put-together yourself furniture, and low quality goods that dont last very long. .

Not since my freshman year in college......

 

Their quality sucks....bad.

 

You’re better off at Pier One.

At least there you KNOW you’re buying crap.

I love IKEA. I bought there almost everything I have. When I bought my condo I had to purchase everything, from furniture to plates, I had zero belongings other than towels and sheets as I was renting a room during my first two years here. I rented a truck, went to IKEA, and filled it with furniture, curtains, carpets, kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, everything.

I bought all that stuff 15 years ago and everything is still functional, even my poor overtired coach.

It is true, the quality is not the best, but I like cheap things I can dirt and break and easily replace when I get tired of it. I am not interested in investing a bunch of money on stuff I will be afraid to scratch or stain.

I have a rental unit. I bought the cabinets for the kitchen at IKEA. Otherwise, I would never shop there. Too much rubbing elbows with the masses.

 

I've had good luck buying household items on the in the Internet. Just recently, we bought a wool rug from West Elm.

Dont get me wrong, I like the look of IKEA things, but being an OLDER lady, I like "stability"... Most of my IKEA starter stuff fell apart (could be MY assembly skills suck?)

Their NJ location was the worst customer service experience of my life.

That's why the customer service is right near the restaurant.....so you can go have Meatballs and unwind !

The few times I've gone to an IKEA store it was exhausting and overwhelming. So no.

What exactly is he coaching you to do that he is so overtired? Maybe you should give him a break. Or is it a woman? And why the hell haven't you mastered the process in 15 years?

 

I like cheap things

 

We've heard.

I recently bought a leather sofa online! One of my bravest/biggest online purchases.

 

Biggest except Except for the Honda Prelude I bought from on online auto dealer on COMPUSERVE,MS-DOS interface. Long ago, I guess I’m an early adopter.

Only for the meatballs .

 

I thought we learned you should say NEIGH to the meatballs.

The compuserve days seem positively ancient.

The AMC show “Halt and Catch Fire” was 3 fun seasons, earliest shows were ancient computer and online reminiscing

I really enjoyed the early seasons.

No, but It's the nicest crap I've ever seen...

I almost expressed surprise that you don't go there for the hot dogs, but they really aren't big enough to bother with.

 

Back on topic, I bought a wool rug there once from the "as-is" room and the ticket said it was there because it was already assembled. Apparently, on the sales floor they sell you yarn and a loom.

 

More recently, I've bought storage boxes, a plug-in pendant lamp, two desktops, and batteries. Having to assemble the FLGNHROG sofa or the KORHGDONG chair is just not my thing.

Are you talking about IKEA or your local bathhouse?
