I know some stuff at Ikea is viewed as disposable but having just bought out house, we needed to get some new items and make changes on a budget.
Most of the stuff we liked elsewhere would have cost us closer to $6000 (leather couches) but we were able to get two awesome nice quality leather couches here for much less (about $2800). I recommend the leather Karlstad series.
The staff was super friendly and helpful... especially the guy at the warehouse.
