... at least we were not the only ones
I stumbled upon this just now, while waiting for a video rendering. As Youp likes to say: "visiting Ikea might be a bad idea - but at least we were not the only ones!".
We did manage to find what we wanted (what the Misses wanted!): a 4 meter wide "wardrobe system", sliding mirror doors, birch veneer finish and all the internal fluffy drawers and tie holders included. And oh yes - it matches our nearly finished master bedroom floor!
Just read the article above, especially the tips area. When visiting Ikea during a holiday you might want to take a break, but forget about the restaurant. Also forget about any quiet time around; I think Ikea is so successfull because it takes care of one's children, not because of price or convenience. Did I mention already I don't like children, especially not when they come in strollers, grandparents attached?
Also prepare for fights - you will have them, although maybe not with your partner. I surely had some today. Can I help it most Ikea customers are so horribly slow and don't know how to behave on a parking lot?
All's well that ends well.

Well, it is amazing how many people I know have PAX in their bedroom!
I admit to be an IKEA addict myself and I discovered that the best way to fight it, is not going there too often - twice a year has to be enough. Another advice I can give: never take your credit card with you! Get yourself the amount of money you are able to afford in cash and that's it. It saves not only money, but also nerves!
For my part the worst and most dangerous part of the store is the Marketplace, you can always find something there and end up with things of which you are convinced that you cannot possibly go on living without them. You cannot even understand how you were able to survive all these years with the little thingy!
Am I right?
