IKEA

I think IKEA is great.
A lot of my furniture and interior is bought there, and with some careful picking you find some stylish and solid items. For furniture I tend to go for whole wood instead of vinyl covered particleboard.
 
Price wise they are really competitive as well.

The largest Ikea in the southern hemisphere is 15 minutes from where I live.
 
I've had plenty of extended visits there. It's nice they have their own restaurant so you can take a rest from all that shopping. I've got too much furniture but I still like going to buy stuff from there :D


That's probably my closest Ikea store too.

It's scary how many people have the same ikea furniture
 
I have a poang too for listening and an expedit to store my cd's (ikea also has cd racks that fit the expedit perfectly), my crappy stereo and my headphones/amp/dac

I'm one of those guys who have previously been plagued by Ikea's notorious bad instructions and forgetting to include pieces.
 
Apparently they've gotten a lot of better about it over the years, but when I recently purchased a TV stand from my store (made in China) and upon noticing that during the second last step, they tell you to lift up a 100lbs table that is now 50% glass to install the feet on the bottom of the stand... Ikea immediately came to mind.
 
I've always liked Ikea's designs though. Perhaps I shall give them another try.

I use 2 Flarke TV stands stacked up next to my computer desk - I remember seeing someone set it up this way on the computer rigs / headphone pics threads. It was a good idea and I copied it.

Ikea is good, most of my home furniture comes from there. Dirt cheap and functional stuff is the best to have...
