One in Orlando, one in Sawgrass Mills...

Used to go there all the time when I lived in the Netherlands a few years back.... Wonder why it took em so long to make it down this way...

what?

I am beyond happy for you!!! It really is a great store. i hope you get a big one too!
The one we just got in MI is nothing compared to the one in IL.

Enjoy spending tons of money close to home now!!

Old people don't buy funky furniture, I guess.

They have been around forever here in Canuckistan. They just built a new store back home to replace the old one a few years ago. They had a contest that if you could carry something from the old store to the new store, you got it for free. It's about 3 miles down the road. You had to carry it by yourself Neat idea I thought.

I remember going to the one across from Newark Airport when I was a kid and lived in northern jersey.

I think I saw the site for the Orlando one, near the Mall at Millenia. Too bad I'll be moving out of the Orlando area soon, but might be going to Atlanta which opened one not too long ago.

A couple other stores that are conspicuously missing around here...Fry's Electronics and H&M (clothing store).

Those swedes are great at giving you almost everything you need to make crappy furniture.

 

[Anubis]

[Gibson486]

IKEA is the 8th wonder of the world. Those places are just massive.

 

[dainthomas]

Went to the one up by Seattle. Must not be my style, I wasn't impressed.

 

[slackwarelinux]

Here is a song to celebrate with.

The one in Massachusetts is especially awesome because Costco is right next to it.

good selection of cheap cf bulbs...lots in candle socket size too, and the lamps to use them properly

 

[isekii]

I only like them for their cheap food

Furniture that doesn't look like it belongs in a log cabin or in the 80s FTW

Nothing like wobbly crappy trendy furniture.

 

[EKKC]

no good. their crappy material can't withstand the Florida humidity
(not to mention they would need another set of specially-made, easier to use instructions due to the general Floridian stupidity. the pictures-only approach in their current instruction sets will prove to be way too confusing for the "i can't vote properly" crowd)
