Wal-mart competes with Ikea for dumb, but Ikea still wins.

I don't get you BC people. If you don't like something. Then don't expose yourself to it. No one is holding a gun to your head telling you "go to Ikea, NOW!"

One of the many nice things to come from Sweden like: Blondes, Saab 9-3, Fighter Planes and Bofors.

Yes, I am certain that this anomaly is completely unique to BC and "BC people only".

I don't get you people that move here, live here for long enough to be a "BC person" and still make bullshit blanket statements like this. From having to deal with enough of them, a lot of people in Ontario bitch about stupid shit too.

Did you see the part where I said I'm never buying furniture from there again?

Does that address your moronic concern?

For the record, I finished the desk and it looks decent and works fine.

People who say "I've never had any trouble", are you aware that IKEA has different types of furniture, and that some might be more complex than others?

Also for the record, part of the reason I'm not interested in buying any more large items from them anymore is the style issue.. as Winston said, a lot of their stuff just looks kind of crap (although my desk is of the "real wood" variety).

ALSO for the record, as I sort of hinted at, I probably would still buy small items from there because they are hella cheap and sometimes functional.

With so much stuff on the record, can anyone be unsure of where I stand on the issue of IKEA?

Best thing to buy at Ikea are candles.

$2 for 100 tealights!

And they have these glass candle holders the double as pretty swank drink coasters.

I'm sure they do, but it seems everyone wanders about ignoring each other most of the time. ;)

I dont mind Ikea..I did have a hell of a time putting together a small dresser I bought..I buy the tealights there as well..and Its great for house warming gifts.

As far as Walmart goes..I just dont understand people. I buy toilet paper, cleaning supplise, some groceries and alot of other stuff from Walmart. I am far from 'redneck' I love how people act too good to shop at Walmart or Ikea. Does it honestly matter where your paper towel comes from?

why not try buying stuff from local merchants? might cost a little more but you're pumping money back into local businesses rather than some corporation down in the states. i refuse to shop at walmart due to their shady business practices.

Me too.

Plus their nasty lighting feels like it's sucking my soul. I haven't been inside one in five years.
