Anyone shop at IKEA?
 

I was in Houston this week and wow. The place is huge. Really cool stuff too. They'll be opening a store here in Dallas on Aug 3rd.

I hate it but my girl seems to like the shop a lot ;)))

I've bought quite a lot of stuff from there. Cheap and good enough quality for me :)

I used to when I lived in the States. Great furniture at decent prices. Very modern and holds up decently.

I was there a couple weeks ago. I hope hell is more enjoyable than that endless maze of a store

yeah thats about how my girl thinks about it too, as she tends to change furniture a lot lol

They've got cool accessories, maybe I'll run down there tomorrow now that you mention it.

how much of their stuff do you have?

Me and my girlfriend just moved in together HELL year i shopped in IKEA.

There is always something missing in the box when you buy stuff from them... Cheap quality crap. :mad:

But yes, it happens that we shop there sometimes...

haha damn, I see a lot of bjorns and bennys there lol

I'm not Sweedish - Scandinavian though DK

They make crap products :2 cents:

We spend thousands there every year as we use Ikea for props in the studio. Its very cheap and surprisingly good. Never had any problems with any of it.

Never had any problems with any of theese :)

I shop most of my furniture at IKEA, most people in Sweden do.

damn everytime I'm in the Ikea I go nuts, it's like a fucking ant mall, a billion people trying to grab everything they see

Not even once have I had missing parts. But quite a few times I've gotten too many parts :)

Polle, you have way too much IKEA stuff :1orglaugh

You must have a few of our parts then :winkwink:

Good quality and the price is right to say the least.
However they tend to be a real zoo on Sat and Sun.
especially when they just open.

Same story :thumbsup

That is just what i realized adding the text to the pics :disgust

Get paniky in our IKEA in Brno - it is one way only and to get through takes about an hour at least. Can´t imagine what I would do if needed to get out quickly. Anyway I like their rooms samples arrangements.

Just my 5 cnents... IKEA is a cheap and quality furnuture and other stuff that I've used a lot. Nice place for a lanch also :winkwink:

Meatballs :)

I bought my office furniture at Ikea. They have good stuff.

the owner ( a swedish guy ) is the richest person in the world...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$

the owner is a nazi too..

from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/855984.stm
"It was she who infected the young Ingvar with enthusiasm for Adolf Hitler, whose seizure of her Sudeten homeland she regarded as liberation"

from: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/print...102285,00.html
"Kamprad himself was an enthusiastic Nazi sympathiser, though he now calls this youthful folly"

He seen that to be a nazi was not really good in business few years ago and he decide to call it "youthful folly" but...

their furniture is some of the best around - we have 2 around us and go there often to get stuff. What is fun is when my fiancee and I watch tv shows and pick out shit we just saw at Ikea

actually, i think im gonna go there and buy a few things, we're moving into a bigger apartment next month, so we need a few extra things.

He IS not a nazi. He WAS.

If you know his families history, you would see that it's not very strange.

He's #6, Gates is #1 :)

polle45, looks like you love to shop @ ikea !

If you haven't read the book about the founder, Ingvar Kamprad, read it. It's an amazing story. One of the best biographies I've ever read.

Leading by Design: The Ikea Story

They're all over the place in Europe. IKEA is the place to go for cheap shit you won't care about when you break it.

ya that does sound like fun

I've only been there once. My gf loves it. We'll probably be going again soon.

pretty much everybody I know decorated their first apartment/house primarily from IKEA including me because it looks good and is reasonably priced and not hard to put together. i still have a lot of stuff from IKEA, desks, shelves, accessories.

but for real furniture like a sofa i don't shop IKEA - quality is so so - in any big city you can find manufacturer outlets and find furniture of much high quality and comfort than IKEA for the same price.

If you surf google looking for friends and people who receive money from the owner of ikea you can realize by yourself that is IS a nazi
He was a personal friend of Swedish Nazi leader Per Engdahl and provided money for the nazi movement.

Just google it...

They are great for accessories! I go there mainly for candles...but usually end up leaving with a ton of this and that!

Hah, Nazi furniture!

we have the same one ;)

Im furnishing my entire new house with ikea stuff. Love that store.

IKEA doesn't sound American, so I won't buy it.

Fuck Meatballs!

I like their storage containers and they're a lot cheaper than the container store.

great store. I just get lost in them, far to big
