IKEA just opened in Atlanta and my girlfriend's freaking out
 

She fucking loves that shit

get ready for cursing while you attempt to put their crap together

yes it seems that all girls do

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.

I hate IKEA.. Just cheap crap that ends up falling apart.

fuck ikea..

i tried ordering $90 worth of shit, and they wanted to charge me $140 to ship it.

> Subtotal: $89.98
> Shipping & Handling: $140.00
> Tax: $0.00
> Order Total: $229.98

i only go there for the food...

That's what I'm looking forward too, as well :thumbsup

Free hot dogs on the official opening day!

the Ikeas here have restaurants in them with a swedish menu, im not sure the deep south is ready for that...

hide your credit cards.

:1orglaugh Nah, everything is pretty easy if you read the manual :thumbsup

hahahahahaahahahaahahaahaahahahahaha

reminds me of this time i was living in atlanta....i went out to dinner with 2 deep southerners to a high class casino resteraunt in mississippi

well needless to say, pure humor :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

whats this fork here used for lady? pickin my ass?

Meatball Lunch....
Swedish meatballs, served with lingonberries, cream sauce and potatoes. Soup or salad included.
$5.99

wow....thats a great deal, i'd go just for that, thats cheaper than a McD's combo meal :thumbsup

looks like they have same price world wide. :pimp

ya, i like those lingonberries...

The food might be ok but the furniture is total shite.

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

Their drawers break down pretty easy..

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.

Get your money out of your pocket :D

exactly ikea = crappy furniture

thats why it is so cheap

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

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 :)

mmmm moms metballs :D

I make pretty decent ones too. But it's a pain in the ass, so I make it ones every two years or so :winkwink:

Yeah most girls love ikea :)
But their stuff is such a pain in the ass to put together.

i second that.

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

your in Atl Have i ever met you ?

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

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.

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.

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

Where did they open that store bro? 14th? If its in midtown it will be way gay friendly...lol

Shopping at Ikea is like a sport I dont play.

:1orglaugh

It's good & cheap. Agreed :thumbsup

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.

now you got my interest i want to go lol. The store that got it right is this clothing store my wife goes to. they have nice high back leather lounge chairs. i bring a book and dont care how long she takes.if they let me smoke cigars it would be perfect lol

theyve got some pretty cool stuff

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.
