Ikea..

[PhxRam]

Have any of you guys had the unfortunate pleasure of going to this place?

Up until today, neither have I.

I have always managed to avoid this place and conveniently always had something going on when the wife asked me to go with her.

Today no longer. My number finally got drawn.

I have never hated mankind as much as I did today.

Fuck that place!!

I'm glad to say I have not.
Sounds like you had quite the experience though. Care to share?

My wife and I spent ALL weekend there shortly after we moved-in together - like 12 yrs ago. Not only did we spend like 20hrs at the store that weekend, but then we spent every night the following week assemblying all the furniture we'd bought. we figured if we could pass the IKEA test together than maybe the relationship was sufficiently battle tested. Anyway, neither of us have been back since, and have no desired to return anytime soon. So yeah, I think we understand your pain

no.

I am the type the prefers to suppress traumatic experiences.

I've ordered stuff from them, and put it together, but I've never actually gone into the store. I didn't even know it was that bad.

I'd rather go to an Ikea any day before Wal-Mart!

Phx, what was wrong with your Ikea trip exactly?

I've only been to the ones in the Toronto GTA. They were both new stores and well laid out.

Never been. But I do say my interest is piqued now. Nice going man. :what:

I will get into it later.. I will say this though, I am still assembling the damn furniture.

I know what you're talking about. The instructions seem to have been written by engineers ... Swedish engineers. Either that or lego enthusiasts. No words, just pictures.

But there's a kid in me, so I rarely have a problem.

I refuse to put furniture together anymore. It's too aggravating, and I almost ALWAYS put one part (usually a shelf) on upside down or backwards. Then when you flip the thing over, after it's all assembled, you see your fuck up.
