| - A good, solid option for 'disposable' furniture. Don't try to sell me your used Ikea table on craigslist, though. Really? I can buy a new one for $20.
For those who might not think to go here first, DO IT! If you are new in town, living in a rental, it's cheaper to buy Ikea than rent furniture. The only issue is disposal at the end of your tenure. Some examples of things I totally love from Ikea: CD case that stands tall and looks great; dishes and serving plates; matching bowls for less than $2 each; Wine glasses for $0.69; storage boxes, shelves etc... Instead of renting wine and water glasses for our DIY wedding, we bought a bucket load at Ikea and still have them for massive parties. If one breaks, no big deal, we keep more in storage. However, make sure you need what you buy- in that same storage locker, we have Ikea shelves that we never installed. :( I've moved on from the years of using Ikea for dining room and bedroom furniture. But, if you like to change you style often, Ikea lets your furnish an entire apartment for $700 or less.
