IKEA is a monster. Really. You could easily spend the majority of a day walking around aimlessly and taking in the scenery. Even when I'm not in the market for any big ticket items, I enjoy seeing the rooms they have set up to showcase their products. It never fails that I'm walking out of there with a least one or two gadgets. The overall concept of the store is great. While it may not be the highest quality of furniture, it does its job well and certainly can be used in most decorating styles. Some items are moderately priced. Others (ie; lounge chairs) seem overpriced to me. But that's the beauty of IKEA--you can pick and choose. I don't think there is another store on this planet that i say, "Wouldn't this look great?" more than I do in IKEA. Wild horses couldn't drag me away :)
