lol, that's already happened once...she ordered some stuff to get shipped, and we were putting together this monstrous record shelf, and I kicked a small hole in the side of it because we couldn't get the fucking dowels to line up.

TheDoc · 06-26-2005, 01:08 AM

some of their shelving is finished in lingonberry stain..its quite attractive, but seasonal..

Vitasoy · 06-26-2005, 03:41 AM

Their drawers break down pretty easy..

The Ghost · 06-26-2005, 03:51 AM

Just watched "Fight Club" again the other night. I like the part where Ed Norton is walking around his apartment talking about "what kind of furniture describes you as a person..." or some shit like that. The slick Ikea ad popups are great. God I love that movie.

Deja vu... Looks exactly as it was shot this friday on an island outside Norrtälje ;)

And Shemp, yes swedish meatballs with lingonberries rocks, but you should try the real homemade stuff, not the massproduced they serve at IKEA.

Basic_man · 06-26-2005, 08:07 AM

Get your money out of your pocket :D

You know that you're supposed to screw everything together, right?

I've never had anything fall apart on me, and I have quite a few things from IKEA. Not even had any missing pieces either, only too many pieces

I I guess if you don't plan on moving these furniture, their fine. But once you start moving them (example, moving to a new home), they start falling apart. Ikeo furniture sux IMO

I've moved couple of times with my stuff without any problems. But I don't toss my stuff around that much

dready · 06-26-2005, 10:38 AM

Ikea must be the shittiest made furniture on earth... it's not even esthetically pleasing.

Sure if you need a cheap bookcase to get you by they are good for that, but not much else.

Get me a sheet of plywood and a good table saw and I'll make you something twice as nice, twice as sturdy for less money and the same amount of time as figuring out how their shit is supposed to fit together.

Fred Quimby · 06-26-2005, 10:46 AM

Here is some triva for ya

the owner of ikea is almost as rich as bill gates.

not by selling crappy furniture,,,but he bought the land the stores were built on.

The land is now worth more than the whole company.

tony286 · 06-26-2005, 10:48 AM

my wife wants to go too , we should let them go together and we can sit home and smoke cigars lol

Rochard · 06-26-2005, 11:21 AM

When they opened up an Ikea here locally my wife got excited. I got dragged along. I'm like "whatever, we'll go shopping at Ikea and then we'll end up spending the rest of the day shopping at other stores". Got to Ikea and wasn't too impressed.

Instantly we found the shelves I had wanting for some time. They are the kind with the glass doors. At $29 a pop we bought two of them for my home office.

Then we ate. I had the meatballs. Good stuff, and cheap. And desert too.

I'm still not impressed by this point and then we started to hit the rest of the store. Holy shit. The place is fucking huge, has everything under the sun, and all of it was very cool. I mean no matter what department we walked into I could find a dozen things I was interested in purchasing.

I know thats right!! - a word of advice - - I have learned the IKEA hard way that my girl seems to be more patient than me - so put the pride aside and give your woman a screw driver and a hammer, and grab yourself a beer - trust me it will save you throwing that shit off the balcony.
