Looks like it is IKEA love/hate day on Yelp. Sounds like a great way to spend leap year day along with wearing whipped cream top hats, having sex on ladders, and putting my pigs in hammocks (a little inside joke for those who watched Conan last night).
Put me in the love category for IKEA. A ton of my furnishings and decorations have come from there without falling apart or making my home look like the set of the Real World.
I do think their couches are over-rated and that their desks are usually awkward or over-priced, but you can't beat them when it comes to outfitting a bedroom, shelving, home essentials, and random crap to give your place some character on the cheap.
Although I would stay away from the absolute cheapest stuff there, because it definitely won't stand the test of time and drunken fits of joy. Although technically that T.V. stand I just destroyed was actually a coffee table and not meant to bear the weight of a 400 pound television. It might still be in my condo's dumpster if anyone's looking for some scrap cherry quarter inch wood.
