Furniture chain: IKEA

23
You think you've got it bad when your girlfriend hauls you around IKEA? My wife WORKS there. Also, ANY time that either of our parents come to visit, they always want to go to IKEA. The place drives me batty.

-As for their furniture, they've got a new line that uses solid wood instead of the particle board...
-They've got some very soft stuffed rats, which is very cool...
-Their breakfasts are stupid-cheap, and not really that bad...
-My wife is making some pretty good cash ($18 canadian per hour.)

Not Crap, But I now refuse to go there if at all possible.

You were referring to Eurway, but I often feel this way at IKEA.

I try to avoid it. But the fact is that for certain things, it has what I want and is cheaper than every place else, and IKEA is far from being an evil corporation.

For example, kitchen cabinets. You can't beat their kitchen cabinets. You might try, b/c you're trying to avoid making your place look too IKEAey, but you can't beat 'em for the price.

I also like the food!

Not crap.
