イケア

今までは東急ハンズやMujiや FrancFrancで家具を買っていましたが、なんだか東京のあちこちで新しくできたイケアがなかなかいいかもしれない。東急ハンズのほとんどの品は定価ばっかりで、イケアのほうはめっちゃ激安。
休日にイケアの開店時間に行ったら、なんだかすごい人の群れが並んでいた。

ところで前回作ったフィギュア棚がこんなんなっています。置く場所増やさないと^^;

The majority of my house is furnished through IKEA; I love the concept, and they are indeed very cheap.
The display case you show in the article is even cheaper there compared to here, thanks to the cheap yen; €60 in Japan, while €79 over here.
Perhaps I'll go and have a look for myself when I'm in Japan in December.

I work for 'em, hopefully in my year out I can head over and work in the store there, maybe get some insight whilst contributing to the country and not coming over just for the sake of "IT'S JAPAN, 'MAZING!"
Admittedly a lot of it can be crap, but if your a student, nothing says "buy me" like a sofa at £140 that already feels worn in, so you get swallowed up when you sit down.
It's well Jackson.

Wow. And all I have is an Ikea table lamp. Hahaha. Guess I should check it out sometime.
And is that a Gundam floating in the air!?

Ikea has the best product ever. There's a lot of Ikea stuff at my home like lamp, sofa, TV cabinet, bed, table, you name it. The Ikea stuff that I have in my room (currently) are floor/reading lamp, wardrobe, table with mirror and bed.

i'm already pissed when i wait more than 15 minutes at cash registers
the Ikea next to my house has plenty of registers but only half of them open all the time... how stupid
moreover, some of them are for cash only and others for credit cards only :(

So Ikea stuff really does the thing if you plan to save space and other stuff while keeping it stylish and savvy.
I got an idea from this idea hope i could do it ^^

Has no body notice that this is a very old post?
I mean look at the replied, it's from 1999's to early 2000's.
Look at Danny's icon, it's not even the lovely Mirai chan~
Anyway, Ikea has great storage solution.
When I have time, I tend to walk though the shop.
I get a lot of design or application concepts from it.
I have prepare for a exhibition completely with Ikea items~
it's great cause it's repackable! (not all item of course)

seems like the comments on top are duplicated. and danny's avatar is different. seems like all of the old posts have the comments duplicated.
Ikea not available here. even if they come here there's a lot of competition so they would have to keep the costs down a lot. but they do have some really good cabinet designs. i was thinking of importing some ikea stuff but the cost turned out to triple including shipping and duties. so had to drop the idea.

I've never been to an Ikea store, neither has my mum. Our closest store is about 40 minutes drive away in one of the bigger cities.

The majority of the furniture in my room is made by Ikea - bed, wardrobe and bookshelves (lots of bookshelves!). I like the simple but effective design and good quality for the price. Need a new desk, but Ikea don't do a matching replacement for my furniture and there's too much stuff on it >.>
What I really admire is how well lit Danny's room always is - what lights does he have, because I wouldn't mind them too! ^^

My desk is from Ikea. <3
Also my entertainment center and one of my nightstands. :3
I really need a new bookshelf besides the really tiny one I have due to too much manga but there's no room for it. > . <

this IS that article
Danny is just recycling old articles since they're such a good read anyway - It's just like that 'This time last year' thing that he had going on a while back
Did Danny ever post something Ikea related...something to do with a underdesk cable tidy?

And I thought the line-ups were long at my closest Ikea...I got lots of Ikea furniture because it's the only place here that sells decent furniture without breaking your bank and turning your room into a 1960s style American home *shrugs at wood coloured furnitures*

ikea kicks ass!, got 2 here in the GVRD.
their quality is pretty good, and the price is reasonable.
if your household contains more than 50% ikea products....you should think of acquiring a Swedish citizenship...haha

Don't have, won't have, simply because there's no Ikea around here.
But I'd probably have some stuff if there was one around... specially those book stands and a table.
Surprizingly, here in Brazil where you can find Ikea, it's considered a luxury store... because you can find cheaper furniture elsewhere, though they are mostly far uglier than what you can get on Ikea.
The table I currently have my keyboard for instance, is actually a wooden beach/barbecue table...
I ended up buying it after getting exausted of looking for something more adequate, which would be a smaller table I could put a keyboard and mouse on.
And since I had to buy this table, I had to realocate my sofa. Results are not very nice, but will sufice for now.
Anyways, I love how you set your furniture Danny... when I have my own place (the current is provisory rental), I might use your stuff as inspiration... XD
I also want to set at least one room full traditional japanese style, with tatamis and all.
I mean, if I can afford that someday. Currently, odds are that I'm living under a bridge somewhere in the future... :P

I have things from Ikea, and I am a professional woodworker, but I have no time to build my own stuff so despite the oxymoronishness of it all....................................................................

I like some Ikea stuff and can except the fact that it's all cheap sh*tly made bad for the environment wafer board furniture (as much as they would like you to think they are helping the environment by making you pay for plastic bags now), but what's with the return policy attitude.... it's like dealing with Nazis.

When I was a kid, I remembered that we went down too IKEA alot... Now, not so...

I go to Ikea for their Swedish Meatballs and cranberry sauce....and some furniture. It's all amazing.
A friend of mine had never gone to Ikea for their meatballs before so I took her there and she loved it. Then we went "window" shopping (for the lack of a better term). Girls can act so silly in a furniture shop.
Very cute.

There's an ikea not too far from where I live. It's a pretty convenient place to buy furniture and whatnot. But I rarely go there because I rarely need new furniture (and I'm not the one buying it anyway).

Don't have Ikea near here, so don't know anything to say about it's quality or prices. But in the future if I happen to be near a Ikea store, then I'll definitely check it out.

I <3 Ikea. Majority of my bookshelfs and displays for my Gunpla is from there. Only problem is that the closest Ikea takes 2 hours to get there. Its pretty much like a trip to go down to Ikea for the day ^^I

ikea is good for all the little things but the bigger more expensive stuff breaks to easily.
