Spent $3,000 at IKEA today
 

And we're still not done. Rented a truck and had to make two drips to get it all.

what you bought bro??

now you have to build it all

Are you getting stuff for the whole house or just some rooms? IKEA is awesome.

That's a nice lump of chipboard and plastic ya got there JoesTraffic! :winkwink:

ah and just think of all those parts that are going to be missing

don't you have money to buy at fine furniture stores?

Sorry to hear that.

You don't know him buddy! :1orglaugh

That'd be just about enough for one good leather coutch...

Everything we got is wood. No chip board.

I don't like "fine" furniture.

I kinda like having a load-up at places such as IKEA and ripping an office apart and having clean stuff installed.

You also get a lot for the money and can just leave it when ya move. Ain't worth the effort moving it - just get another load! :thumbsup

Have fun putting it all together! Did you eat any meat balls?

My wife wont let me buy leather.

I dont think that I would put out the money onf fine furniture for the area that I live in. Dusting 2 times a day is not enough.

:Oh crap

Me either.

So... you noticed these meatballs Laurie??? :winkwink:

IKEA is great! :thumbsup

Dude this is gfy.. you can't come off as soft.. here, let me show you what you should have said



My wife kinda hinted at me in a subtle way that she didn't prefer leather, so i took the bitch and put her in a figure 4 leg lock till her ankle snapped... then i bought 30 leather couches and filled our living room completely and put the extras ontop of her car and in her garden, because i am a MAN


there you go

IKEA got some really good stuff. I love them...

The Ikea Cafe has a great meat ball plate :thumbsup

WOW $3000 did you buy the contents of the car park as well as the whole store

Dammit these "gangster kids" who need to keep face Sam! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

is anything named billy?

Hell.. I'd even dine there Laurie! :1orglaugh

Sure is 20 steps up from McDonalds! :thumbsup

I don't mind that place. I just can't see spending that much there.

and did you make it out without any tealights?

Post pics! Did you buy a couch and if so what kind?

I love Ikea, I wanna live in there! I also love their Swedish meat balls their so good. I am becoming obsessed with Ikea and I don't know why... something about cheap furniture and Swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce , and those succulent baby potatoes ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

FUCK it's good

I am sure they lace them with crack.

Maybe next week. We only got stuff for two rooms.

shopping fiend...

you and my gf should be friends :1orglaugh

SOS, LOL :thumbsup :1orglaugh

Mmm.. you mean the Billy bookcases, Billy shelves, Billy doors? Yea.. quaint Swedish customs eh?? :winkwink:

That my biggest beef against these type of stores. People just trow out these cheap furniture and polute our environment.

You should do a public service then, and donate a few grand so he can splurge on some "high end" furniture

not everyone has the money to buy 10K couches , and even if they did.. some people actually like ikea furniture :2 cents:

Sarah....Your in London now girl... anyone you call a "Billy" is a lying twat

My billy bookcase does have rather shifty eyes.

Seriously Alex - good point! It's fine if "convenience furniture" is degradable, but otherwise bad news.

Where I am now, there are no - or very few IKEA type stores. It's actually cheaper to have a couple of carpenters in and make anything ya want out of wood.

Simple example... and this is common. You can give them the IKEA or Macy catalogs with furniture pics and they will make the same thing out of real wood at a fraction of the cost.

I got a kinda "farmhouse kitchen table" recently - about 12 ft long and thick top plus 8 chairs to match and cost $320. I'd hate to think of the price in a mall or speciality store for the same thing.

congrats

Buy "fine" furniture when you're rich. Until then, buy decent/affordable furniture so you can reinvest your saved money to work your way towards becoming rich.

Ikea has a lot of good shit. Everytime I go there, I see something new that I want.

Sounds great Joe. How is the movie site going?

I don't know ... you live in thoses things . I'm not talking about really really expensive stuff but there is a minimum required.

man 3000 grand thats a shitload of stuff at ikea prices .Did they make you customer of the day? Too much shit to put together for me lol

They can step on me anytime.

You don't have to be rich to buy good furnitures that will last forever and be moved from places to places without falling appart. Stores like http://www.restorationhardware.com sell some decent furnitures that are not every expensive and will last for for a very long time.

ikea's boss is a nazist...
from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/855984.stm
"It was she who infected the young Ingvar with enthusiasm for Adolf Hitler, whose seizure of her Sudeten homeland she regarded as liberation"

from: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/print...102285,00.html
"Kamprad himself was an enthusiastic Nazi sympathiser, though he now calls this youthful folly"

He seen that to be a nazi was not really good in business few years ago and he decide to call it "youthful folly" but if you surf google looking for friends and people who receive money from the owner of ikea you can realize by yourself that is IS a nazi
He was a personal friend of Swedish Nazi leader Per Engdahl and provided money for the nazi movement.

Also love Ikea, the problem with the good furniture that lasts forever is that you're stuck with it. It was expensive and you can't just trow it away beacuse you feel like it.

I know this guy that had several houses he used to rent and recently sold them because he bought a big farm so he got stuck with a huge ammount of the good furniture and has to pay to keep it all stored. He can't get around to trow it away because some of it was receive from a inheritance.
