IKEA STUFF IS THE BEST

If you are EVER bored just go for a trip to ikea. But don't forget to bring money. Even if you don't plan on buying anything I promise you will walk out with SOMETHING in your hands.

RICH

I'd have to agree with that. The layout of the store is awesome, and they do have some pretty neat stuff there. I plan on buying a lot of my furniture for college from there...because I will only have it for a year. If I was looking for long-term furniture, I would probably be looking elsewhere. They have a reputation of having cheap stuff.

I blame this on the layout lol, like they make you follow that arrows on the ground around the showroom and by the end you want something. The one on queensway is a maze! Theres no way you can just cut to a part of the store you want, if your stray from the path you get lost in rugs or something.

Rich has a point Ikea is a great place to go when bored... when really bored I visit Ikea shops that I haven't been too. every store sells the same stuff but every store has a different layout and different "rooms" so it's always an adventure...

but that article did say the main reason for the jump over gates is the change in the value of the US dollar. he should convert to us dollars and stay stuck ahead of gates

haha, you don't HAVE to buy furniture there... they have many great accessories for a clean, modern look.

besides, if you are not a vandal, the furniture should last 5+ years, just enough to go outta style. that way you don't feel bad tossing it out
