Hi Byron!

The best thing about IKEA is the way they give their furniture groovy names.

The Floppen bookcase;
The Kundt chest of drawers;
The Prick candle holder...

Okay, I made these up, but you all know what I mean.

That bed is so COMFY....

My housemate has this bed:



It looks really classy, but I have NO idea how the quality is. Though she's had it for a few years and it seems to be keeping up pretty well...

chut it

When we moved to Australia in 1978, my parents didn't know an IKEA had just opened here in Melbourne, so they filled up half a container and shipped a whole household's worth of IKEA furniture over here from Sweden. Now I have a household full of IKEA myself, some of the pieces part of that original boatload - my coffee table is now 35 years old and still looks like it was bought last year, such simple design and the quality was good.

If you want stuff that lasts, go for the solid timber pieces over veneer. Otherwise, because it's so cheap, it's nice to know when you feel like updating your look you can without worrying how much you had spent on something. IKEA rules.

Byron said:

I still think it's odd that both you and Alli call me that and you didn't plan it together!

applekisses said:

Byron said:

Not in my book, it isn't...

(I asssumed so, but didn't want to get too "personal" )

Ok, good...cuz it makes me think of like a Betty Boop-type character...and, well, she was a little bit of a floozy...(in my book )

The IKEA website has a great Kitchen Design Program that you can download to your computer. I designed our kitchen using the tool- it's cool, you can see the room in 3D, pick different cabinet styles, colors, etc.

My boyfriend works at IKEA, so I get all the inside information lol. Actually, I've always been
fond of their stuff and usually quite enjoy putting those packages together. I find that if you
read the instructions and count out all the screws and things before you start and put them
on seperate piles, it is actually very very easy to get those things built up.

Incidentally my boyfriend is an ardent Prince fan too, and even an orger. But I won't divulge
his orgname here incase y'all gonna bombard him with orgnotes

Hihi, that's the same bed we've got!!

In fact, most of our house, including
the kitchen is from IKEA.

It's mostly pretty good stuff and it's
not too expensive.
