Ikea!

Anybody a fan?

Ikea makes me feel like a child in a toy store. I love that place.

LOVE it. Our entire apartment is furnished in Ikea because it was all flat packed and easier for us to move cross country than our old furniture. I've been having withdrawls b/c the closest one is in Atlanta, a 6 or so hour drive. But this fall we are getting one in Orlando.

And I do applaud Ikea's family and eco friendliness.

LOVE Ikea! Our closest Ikea is also the Atlanta store. We have talked about making a drive out there, but no set plans as of yet. Apparently they have plans of building one in the CLT area to be completed in a year or so. YEAH!

I love that store! I have yet to see one in person, but I frequently drool over the catalogs and think about wasting $ on shipping. I really want to go there! I should have stopped on the way down to JAX in atl and visited.

well I guess I'm lucky because the nearest Ikea is only 15 minutes or so away in Canton, MI.

Most of the furniture in my boyfriend's apartment is Ikea. Cheap and just the style we both like.

I must be the only one that doesn't like Ikea... the fact that their furniture is more inexpensive than others is one thing but when you have to haul it (or pay $$$$ in shipping) AND put it together (not always that easy) plus most of the stores being subsidized by TAX dollars makes me not a fan. Thank goodness I don't live in Tempe cuz all those poor people are paying Ikea management for being there and for the building...there's just something SO wrong with that.

I love that place, but we don't have them here in Colorado. I wish we did.

I love it too! I furnished one of our guest rooms with it......

I'm a big fan too! In fact I live near the very first IKEA built in the USA! Well sort of-- they recently moved into a bigger building!

When they built an IKEA in Tempe AZ I told my parents there was no reason to move back to PA! Of course we all know I moved back to PA but still....

I don't really know what Ikea is...but maybe I should find out. I'm in the market for new furniture.
