Ikea, why do it
-
SO we just need some plain white storage unit, pretty tall, 2.4 meters, with shelves, door etc, just to stick stuff in in the utility kitchen. So its off to Ikea. 117 euros later, get it up, and there are two fissures on one of the side panels. I could have got the tools out, got some pine planking, and done it myself in probably 2 hours. Now I have to drive back to the sodding Ikea store and change this piece, which will take two hours anyway, I wish I had! And it would have cost 60 euros! I am fed up with Ikea. They only do two things well. That chair from way back that is dead comfy for the back, and their food. Everything else is plain and dull, and while it was well made, at least functional. These days it is all made of cheap garbage and is just crap. The fabrics are crap, the venetian blinds are crap, everything. Its all just cheap ugly junk. Why oh why do I keep going back. I am sure I will be lured into the Ikea trap again though.
Sign a petition calling for the boycott of Israel until it returns to its legal 1967 borders.
The solution is clear. Open your own Ikea!

I only go there for the food and the junker area, where they sell off remnants and odd bits -- I've picked up no end of small parts that were useful for something else, particularly in the "lucky dip" bins for screws/brackets/drawer glides/hinges/etc. Other than that, all I've bought there has been kitchen hardware, a couple of their solid oak worktops (which are unbelievably cheap), and a mattress. No furniture at all, because it's all cr@p.

Lets see, kitchen junk, cutlery, plates and basic pots etc, quality, who gives a damn it's kitchen junk!. Office chairs, nice high back and comfortable, 30% cheaper than the local office supply mob. Book cases, yeah these were crap. We then spent $20k on teak furnishings, targeted purchasing thats what you need!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

I'd say the part "that's what she said jokes" should be replaced with "going back to shop to get broken/missing bits replaced" then :-\
