Speaking of house expenses, I recently had a faucet malfunction, so I figured it's about time to replace a couple of things around the house that has been irking me. I bought a rug here yesterday and I do have my eye on a new sink that they have on sale at the clearance isle. The only problem is that it is on clearance, so hopefully it'll still be there when I come back. I've upped my review to 3* by the way because of their excellent cinnamon buns. Mmmmm!

Man, this place has gone downhill fast! Spoiled you say? What, because they have managed to corner the market on garbage you would otherwise have found at KMart, but now has a minimalist, Euro-like, Made in China feel, they've changed their policies and decided the hire the biggest bunch of hate-their job thugs on this side of Emeryville? Yeah, strong words. I have to be honest though, I've developed a strong hate for the company since. It started with buying over $500 worth of junk over the holidays - extra supplies for the xmas party, etc. But to have the most ill-mannered, I hate my job staff, coupled with unrealistic return policies? I give up! I'm never shopping there again! Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks?

I drove 60 miles R/T to look at Kitchens and other items at the Emeryville store. I needed further dimensions, so I left the store with two lamps. One of the lamps was defective. When I called Customer Service I was treated like a thief when I explained I'd thrown away my receipt. I provided the exact date, check number and bank cancellation date and they said they would get back to me within 48 hours. 3 Days later someone left me a message to call the store in BURBANK! The customer service person in Emeryville, turned in the case (this is a $29.00 lamp) and didn't give the date of purchase or the store. I have NEVER had such terrible service from a store in this country in my life and I am 66 years old! They must pay these people nothing and give them absolutely NO TRAINING. They don't seem to realize how important customer service is to any sale. I won't go to IKEA again.

I can definitely get in trouble here. They have a lot of unique things here and they are reasonably priced. I even bought some bamboo plants from here and they're still alive. :)

If you are looking for something that is different for your home, chances are you will find it at Ikea. From furniture for your whole house or office to a step stool to help your child reach the kitchen faucet they have it here. I have purchased a few items here at Ikea and although the price was very reasonable, I found the quality of the product was not as good. I expected to last a longer time than it did since the furniture I purchased was for my child. The drawers started to come apart after a few months and his bunkbead reinforcement on the top bunk broke after my son's friend slept on it. It was a good thing that it didn't fall on my son.

I really love Ikea, its a great place to get some starter furniture. They have everything you need in one store. Everything from cabinets, to office furniture to bedroom furniture. The top floor has all types of funriture and the bottom floor is all accessories for the house. All of the furniture is displayed but not assembled. The good thing also is that the cafeteria is really good. It's filling and very very inexpensive. The parking is really easy since there is a garage. It's centrally located so it is very easy to get to. It is a good place to get some cheap stuff for really low prices.

It's fun to wander and look around here. Don't bring the kids, they will distract you. Just wander around and think about the possibilities of what things would look like. The stuff here is great, check it out.... Now that the palo alto store is up we go there most the time. Friendly staff as well.
