Just a quick post here on how much I love IKEA. I’m on a tight budget these days and I find furniture outrageously expensive, particularly when compared to buying a PC or a PC monitor or even a flat screen TV. The folks at IKEA do a good job of bridging that price gap for me. Anyone that says IKEA falls apart too quickly doesn’t know how to use a screwdriver. I.e., if your IKEA furniture feels chinsy or rickety, you probably didn’t read the directions and assemble it properly or you didn’t tighten your screws well enough. For the price, IKEA cannot be beat.
UPDATE: The modern style of IKEA does seem to be going out of style. IKEA is certainly weak in overall style points. There are 2 sides to every argument – I guess I’m taking both sides on this one.
