naem posted:the cafeteria is fine or whatever but some ikeas have a little mini take out food zone near an entrance so you can grab ice cream or a hot dog etc, like, coffee, before you go shop The one in Miami requires you to cut across the entrance and through a side door if you want access to the second food spot with the pizza and ice cream. You can’t get meatballs there, unfortunately.

I love going to the Ikea but my husband hates it. Gets grouchy and wants to rush through once we got what we came for. But there are so many useful and cute things! If I didn't buy poo poo at the Ikea all we would have is his sad bachelor stuff.

IG-88 posted:IKEA furniture is fine. People just like to complain because they have no self confidence in building poo poo. If they had a little more sense of self worth they’d realize it’s actually pretty rewarding building your own stuff. lol I guess it's for idiots who get satisfaction for 'building' their own stuff lol

IKEA is the Tenth Circle of Hell and its founder used to be a nazi. The meatballs are great after they stopped using horse meat, though.

apt buildings in the bay area will charge tenants like, $500 an hour to reserve the freight elevator to move furniture in/out imagine your moving truck is late and they charge you for your hour anyway then charge again when your stuff arrives. Also they charge you yet again if you want to throw furniture out so better hope you like that couch If you slip the door man a $50 sometimes you can bring up Ikea (in the boxes) in the regular elevator when no one is looking that way you save a $1000 bucks and if your cat pees on it or you breakup with your girlfriend you foolishly signed a lease with, you can disassemble your household and sneak it out into the dumpster in the dead of night, along with all the other overpaid tech workers who are trapped living like college students forever

ExplodingSims posted:But the beds the make there are the worst. Specifically the lovely slat bed thing they use instead of a box spring. Sounds like Ikea just plain blows at beds because I have a Zinus slat platform bed I bought off Wayfair supporting my Leesa mattress and it's great. The slats are held down perfectly and it was the easiest thing to put together.

Chrs Gry posted:IKEA is a horrible experience for which I do not understand the hype. You go in for one thing but you have navigate the enormous two floor labyrinth to get to it even if you already know where it is. If you try straying off the defined path you can easily end up doubling back on yourself and having to spend even longer there. Op, have you ever been in a Costco? It’s actually a real business model that works it appears. You can use your cell phone or something if you are geographically challenged?

I’ve thought about moving back and buying a house for cash lol. Cough Drop The Beat posted:Why in the heck does anyone live in the Bay Area? “money” there are programming type jobs here that pay $100k-ish that you can’t get elsewhere esp when starting a career. You then pay $3000 a month ($36,000 a year) for a shoebox apt, and you might pay $30k in taxes? so you have $30k left with nothing to show for it but a room to sleep in. Parking a car costs $400 a month downtown at an office building, plus a car payment, plus insurance/gas/etc, easily $12k a year (per car). Now you have $20k left per year. Toothpaste costs $7. They’ll tow your car at the drop of a hat, that’s $800 bucks. Brag to a pretty girl you meet that you earn the Big Bucks and watch her interest wane over 3-6 months of dating as you step over mounds of human feces and used needles to enter/exit your college dorm looking room. You can end up living paycheck to paycheck. You could live a better lifestyle on $50k a year in a less expensive part of the country there are entire industries built around drawing in naive young employees, fleecing them for all they are worth, and then charging extra for the u-haul when they take their work experience elsewhere (to avoid a divorce)

Ikea is cool for students and starters and there is a a myth of ancient times when you where able to afford "real" stuff oneday. Least I can still shoot a cannon at all of it after years and it stays intact.

I never get all the complaints about Ikea's layout. Yeah it's designed to trick you into buying more poo poo, but A. it's a company and they're there to make money and B. just make a list before hand of what you need and stick to that. I've never actually done that, but I'm not going to get mad at them for me being dumb. The real issue with ikea is that it's just not that inexpensive for anything resembling decent quality, and then you have to put it together yourself. ROFLburger posted:costco is actually hell on earth Well see now you can go straight to hell. Costco is cool and good.

ReidRansom posted:IKEA is where young couples go to test their relationships. A fun way to spend a public holiday is to wander around an Ikea and see how many relationships fall apart in front of you. By the time you get to the chairs section, you should have overhead at least 4 couples sulking/snapping at each other.

There's one in southern MA that's magical: Go during sunset, right as the industrial prison camp floodlights come on to highlight the Brutalist front facade of the perfectly square, looming building. All greys and dark window panes promising there is no God beyond these walls. Make your way inside the flat empty hallways with all the colors long since sun bleached out of every surface and you'll come across the day care center that was possibly bright and cheery in the 70's, now looking like grandma's attempt to make a funeral parlor more lively with dingy mauve and purples. Along the way meet dead-eyed young couples trudging their way through sterile showrooms looking at the same crap over and over, sometimes dragging screaming children, sometimes quietly, tensely talking among themselves. Souls trapped in the blank expanse of Purgetory. It was beautifull.

Icochet posted:The stores are evil yes, but their furniture is easy to assemble. All other flat pack companies usually list "mortal hatred" in the "required tools"-section of the instruction leaflet. I put together an entire bedroom suite of furniture once that was flatpack but not ikea (think it started with a "D") using only hand tools and can confirm this I still have the dresser from that set and while it is enormous it holds less clothes than a similarly configured malm which is physically smaller
