IKEA is where we like to get our furniture. Ikea, the Swedish flatpack furniture store that made it's way to the US and eventually to California has a love/hate response it seems when you ask people what they think. We love IKEA and consider ourselves to be IKEA addicts.
We love our IKEA for the same reasons some folks hate it, and that is that the furniture is affordable, flat packed and easy to assemble (for the most part). We love our IVAR shelving units that we can fairly easily assemble, disassemble and reassemble into almost any form. Our computer desk, tv unit, display cabinets and bookshelves are all IVAR and easily added on or interchanged.
Our bedroom furniture is solid and well built and the mattresses they sell wear well with just a little upkeep (you need to remember to flip the mattress or any mattress for that matter if you want it to keep it's shape and wear evenly).
IKEA carries almost any item you could possibly need or want (even things you didn't realize you needed) for your home from furniture, bedding, glassware, garden pots and baskets, toys for your kids or pets, rugs, lighting, baby items, flooring and kitchen cabinets and their line of IKEA branded fridges and stoves. Everything including the kitchen sink! Every storage unit or box or drawer imaginable.
