I've never even seen an Ikea store, but from the stupid commercails
they run I wouldn't shop there.
I can live without Swiss chocolate, and you can keep all the beer.

We went to the one in Atlanta in September. It sure was interesting
to see what junk people were buying. I did buy a 1-1/2" Beech butcher
block slab for $00. That was a good deal but the furniture and
cabinets are all crap.

The commercials they run on the Orlando TV stations make all of their
customers look like Dimbulb.

should send for some for Christmas. GooJF cards are always useful.
