No way, Slayer is the best driving music. Especially if you sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic for an hour or so.
I'll join the chorus saying "I don't get it'... some of their stuff is nice, but it's not where I'd go if I wanted sturdy furniture that'll hold up well.

Go after the hype is over. It's always interesting to check out the new stuff, even though nobody admits to buying their stuff because we are all design snobs here. I own a few key pieces that are well designed, but keep that to yourself OK.
If you go, you WILL buy something...it's inevitable.

unless you're going to try and pickup ladies, I would suggest ordering online or through the catalogue, it'll be hours of your life that you'll never get back...

IKEA in the US does not have delivery. You have to arrange delivery with another company I think.

IKEA in the UK does have delivery, but it's notoriously bad. Items delivered damaged or without the final, vital screw you need!

I actually hop IKEA takes off if it already hasn't. Maybe it'll make all thoes other store like crate and barrle and potterybarn cut thier prices down some.
me mum's swedish...so I have to pay respect the motherland.....

I hate how packed it is in there all the time, because it just adds to the frustration of not being able to find your way around the maze-like structure. It's definitely creative though.
I love the products. I just bought a few more things for my bedroom. It's quite nice.

Whan I have to go at IKEA it takes me (wel... me and my gf) no less than 3hours in the mid of the week at strategic hours... i dunno how is it on WE.

We usually go with intentions of buying stuff you see in the catalogue, see it in real life, come home empty-handed. Some of the stuff is tat, some of it is really good value you have to make yer own mind up

didn't ikea used to build their stuff out of quality materials?
i mean, it looks good, but its some junkass stuff. my friend bought one of those 3x3 cube grid shelves for his LPs and the thing collapsed in a week

Well, Ikea has crap and good stuff.
The crap is usually cheap (but not always) and the good stuff is (not so) expensive, compared to other brands

(Aug 3 05, 12:19)I agree, but I'm glad I never got to work there. I would hate working there as part-time employee I mean, not a designer (I would go for that). Just cause it's always so busy.

Yah, the food there is pretty decent. They have this carrot cake that I lost my mind over.
