    This is a good thing. Ikea has the worst customer service and employee relations in the world. Google “Ikea sucks” and find out for yourself.

    They have cool stuff, but it’s cheap for a reason and you have to keep replacing it. It’s all really cheap and low quality, and you end up asking yourself “Why didn’t I buy higher quality in the first place?” On the other hand, you can afford to constantly refurnish. The downside of that is, everyone knew it was cheap-o stuff the minute they laid eyes on it. I say, let ‘em keep it. It ain’t that good.

    Oh no! I love IKEA! I wish there was one closer to us. :( We need IKEA to compete with Nebraska Furniture Mart.

    I hate Ikea, but anything that presents competition for those crooks over at Nebraska Furniture Mart would get my vote.
