| - Who doesn't like the idea of visiting a gigantic furniture/ home store that sucks away a good chunk of the day? IKEA is well-known for providing cheap furniture that you haul away and build back at your home. Adventuring through the store can seem a daunting feat at first, but with some patience and tolerance for droves of other deal-seakers you will persevere.
IKEA has tons of furniture pieces for all the rooms in your home. It's great to wander about and daydream about what could be in your own home. Wouldn't that furniture collection go great in the guest room? How about that comfy-looking couch for the living room? Hey, look at that zany lamp...it would bring some great character to the den! You will find yourself asking these questions over and over as you go from one area to the next. Just make sure to keep note of the item number of that piece of furniture you fall in love with, because it's up to you to go down to the "warehouse", track down the lot number and put the box of furniture into your cart/ trolley before hauling it to the register. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that at all...we kind of like the adventure of doing it all yourself. It's a very fun time, and makes what could be a boring furniture shopping trip anywhere else into an exciting adventure.
Now no one can go shopping on an empty stomach, since even the slightest twinge of hunger can cause a huge case of the crankies. IKEA has got you covered with a ridiculously cheap food court and snack bar. And I do mean ridiculously cheap...$1 for a frozen yogurt or hot dogs? If you're more of an early morning shopper you can partake in the egg and potato breakfast that costs...$1! They keep the food prices down to make you full, because a content shopper is a happy shopper, and a happy shopper doesn't rush and buys more stuff!
As for the actual quality of stuff, we haven't had a problem with the coffee table and end table we bought about six months ago. Granted, I'm not about to jump on top and do an Irish jig, but they definitely hold up as expected to everyday wear and tear (ie- plates on the table, cats running across table, etc.) The furniture does look good, and it wasn't too complicated to put together ourselves when we got home.
While I wouldn't trust the quality of stuff to buy a bed or a couch, I think it's a good place to score tables and more decorative items...you know, things you are not putting your full body weight on. We'll definitely be back to IKEA for future furniture purchases.
