Great store!! They have lots of great stuff besides furniture. If I had to pick one furniture/household item store to go to, it would be Ikea. I am part Swedish, so where else would I go!! You should check it out Trix, oh, and bring a change of pants (just in case!!) :D
Ahh, the meatballs, I swear no matter how much you chew them, they reform as soon as they get into your stomach, and from there. . . Well, anyway they are good!!
You know, I used to love these freaking swedes and their nice and inexpensive things but the last couch I got from them turned out to be an gigantic piece of cheap crap so no love anymore.
ikea actually has a “special naming system” for their products:
ex: “A well known example was the bed frame GUTVIK . As the word can be pronounced Gootfick it invites German-speaking people to understand it like gut fick which means “good fuck” in German.”
That is a misquote!!! ... Because IKEA is a world-wide company working in several countries with several different languages, sometimes the Nordic naming leads to problems where the word means something completely different to the product. A well known example was the bed frame GUTVIK . As the word can be pronounced Gootfick it invites German-speaking people to understand it like gut fick which means “good fuck” in German.
I never thought about the names of the items? But I do love my “billy” and my “not” (bookcase and lamp) I have had the bookcase for about 15 years, the furniture holds up great as long as you don’t move it around to much.
Possibly just a coincidence? If they had to worry about how the names would translate in the language of countries where their goods are sold, that would be a very time consuming task. Just a thought…
i love ikea! i don't care if it's cheap and not durable stuff; you don't feel sorry to throw it away when you get bored with it and want to change it for something else… it's the best way to change your stuff as your mood changes with a little money… and it's modern and colourful stuff!

Yeah sorry I don’t eat at IKEA . Cheap food=disgusting! Okay well most of the time that is.
I LOVE their specialties! Meatballs… cakes… yum!
You’ve got to love ikea meatbvalls and chips, with a good helping of swedish gravy and of course the inevitable ‘BERRIES?’.
It’s junk, I know – but it’s damn good junk.
My mom actually brought the meatballs home and I wasnt too fond of the taste. What can I say I am the pickiest eater ever.

Well atleast it was a good looking cheap piece of crap, wasn’t it?
Let’s see cream colored cushions, gray and brown cat. Sure they did, for 2 days.
There’s a nice song ‘bout IKEA furniture.
I just fo there to buy mass amounts of crap I don’t need but I want because it’s colourful and has funny names.
I’m addicted to their lamps!

Anyway: a sofa, or bed, is called GRANKULLA , which in Italian sounds like “amazing cradle”. lol

:( my apologies.
Nicha, actually I wondered if you did for joke sake, I mean, Ikea mischievously naming their items??... :-D

Sure it is like that. Who cares, anyway, if one single products makes a nation laugh, all the better :-)
:D
My best friend’s girlfriend keeps dragging him to Ikea and making him buy stuff he can’t afford. sigh
well that doesn’t sound like a woman at all…
What if your boyfriend always drags you to Ikea to buy things you could live without?...
Then he would be the perfect man for me.
:-D I can clone it for you!
I love going to this place and just looking at all the furniture I wish I could afford
Yeah, it's a great place to "window shop".
Ikea sux ^^ I was there yesterday..
