Never leave home without him

[Monoriu]

I love Ikea.  A significant portion of my furniture is from Ikea.  There is even a piece that was purchased in Canada, and survived the shipment back to HK, moving houses 3 times, and a flood. 

[Tonitrus]

Their Swedish meatballs are pretty good.

And lingonberries are vile.

[DisturbedPervert]

The only thing I've ever bought at Ikea is the meatballs.  Doubt I'd buy anything there other than food.

I have -

1 x dinning table
4 x chairs for dinning table
1 x coffee table with storage underneath
1 x wardrobe-cum-storage
2 x lockable document shelves
1 x night stand
4 x stools
Plus a lot of other small things, like storage boxes

I do have to say, however, that some of their products suck.  Anybody who uses IKEA knives to suicide himself is bound to fail.  Their pillow cases are no good.

I didn't know he became a valet.

Well, what did you expect from a Swedish company? They probably have strict laws against deadly cutlery 

For the record I have 1 Poang armchair, 1 TV table, several Billy bookshelves... etc, etc.

The obvious answer to "why" is because you're a tightass. But I'm intrigued as to how someone so self-confessedly ham-fisted put so much together. You didn't *gasp* pay someone, did you>

My flat is 50% IKEA furnished, nealry all of it I dragged up two floors myself and constructed single-handedly.

[Grey Fox]

90% of what I own is IKEA make.

I think they make a pretty good fish & chips for lunch, too.

Yeah, I work next door to one.

He's got to do something.

[Malthus]

The bookcases are pretty good. I have several of those.

The problem with Ikea is that if you get a whole room set, much of the stuff is truly cheap and shoddy - and looks it.

It is however a good way to buy starter furniture one step above using milk crates - the best part is that much of it is very cheap. To be replaced with good stuff ASAP.

[The Brain]

I love IKEA. But I don't buy my furniture from them except the odd item that can get away with looking cheap. I generally prefer more posh shops.
