I love myself far too much to ever come out to Ikea on a Saturday or a Sunday.
it's packed! There are people EVERYWHERE. I don't do well in crowds.
But I love coming here on weeknights or the occasional week day. This is my favorite place to buy plants for my home! Once I got super carried away with those $12 palms and finally my roommate complained that I'd turned the living room into a jungle. True, you had to swat plants away to sit on the couch, but if you were serious about sitting on the couch it wouldn't be a problem.
Who among us has now owned a Billy book case?
Or some Glimma lanterns?
Ikea is good in moderation and mostly for their house wares. i would never buy important furniture here, but I give them 5 stars because I love the experience of being at Ikea.
AND--do eat in their cafeteria. Its surprisingly good!
