i actually love ikea and i can afford to refurnish any room in the house on a whim for like 1/2 a week's paycheck. Sure it's paper garbage but goons who deride them have all wicker furniture from craigslist or still live at their folks'

My whole apartment is Ikea because it's cheap, and if it breaks, I can just go get a new one.

i agree, its a god-send for college students and being 4 years out of grad school, probably 33% of our stuff is still ikea though we've been trying to invest in some actual nicer pieces that have actual mass to them. it also kinda sucks going into any persons under 33 house/apt and it looking pretty much the same "oh hey i have that rug, and that desk, and that lamp, and that bed, and pull out mirro, and that shoe rack, and that dresser, and that nightstand... oh wait i dont have those bedsheets, neat!"

also no reason to go to ikeahacker, just use an power drill & industrial glue everything and it'll solve like 99% of all problems with their stuff.

some of their cookware is nice (measuring cups, dish brush, etc), but actual cooking pans can't be good for you. the coating always seems to scrap off really easily and their way too thin and basically just putting food on a flame. gotta have some solid mass for cooking pans/pots to work well imo. that's definitely one area i think people should splurge and get a nice set that'll last em 20 years.

If you ever find yourself and a serious girlfriend/significant other/transgendered-poly-otherkin-life-partner-boner-mutant shopping at an IKEA together make sure you guys are real solid first and have as big a budget as possible because nothing is worse than trying to choose between the very worst couch or the least comfortable quasi-bed and then not have a shelf budget.

The look in her/xhe/chai eyes as you blow your budget on an ok bed and then fumble with the couch cushion thing with no actual couch underneath, that folds out into sort of a chair shape, big mistake. Like be ready to buy two expensive top items and then just exactly as many brightly colored curtain things as possible, even if if you're a broke college student

I went to an Ikea once and got so competely lost in the store that I got scared and bought some meatballs then left and never came back. I'll stick to craigslist for my furniture needs, random strangers on the internet are easier to deal with.

I like Ikea stuff. It's obviously not the highest quality around but it's cheap and still looks pretty good. So far most of the stuff I bought have lasted a good while, my Malm bed frame is still holding up like a champ 10 years, 4 homes, and 2 mattresses later.

i am posting on the loving cheapest desk that ikea has and it has served me well, the cheapest ikea coffee table is right near me and I stand on it and play trad games on it on the reg, and my couch is not a cheap ikea couch at all it is instead an 800 dollar ikea couch and it is comfy as a motherfucker

all my dressers/nightstands are ikea too and I've had them for longer, they've been through three moves, and are relatively cheap too and are still together and functional, i like ikea they have been good for me at a good price

also if you can't assemble your ikea product you might be functionally disabled

If you think you have a $1000 dollar budget for an ikea visit, plan on another $1000 or else you'll look cheap when you buy the nice couch and then a cheaper bed. Or instead of the $40 shelf there's the $300 dollar shelf system in a better color and then OOO look honey! Bumblebee curtains haha oh and these dishes! Oh and that other couple bought a rug, don't we need a rug? Oh not the $20 dollar one OOO look this ones only $429.95 on sale

What? "meatballs"? Over here in Germany it says "Köttbollar" to stay with the Swedish theme. I guess Ikea in the US lowered its standards to accommodate people with an intellect so low they can't even assemble ikea furniture properly...
