Here in Europe it has a pretty bad name too. But I love it. Their furniture is very versatile, functional and easy.
Also, even though furniture snobs hate it, I love pointing out their KALLAX or BILLY units behind them in online meetings :D :D Then it's "oh yeah but this is my home office, it's not so important".
In my place literally all my furniture is from Ikea and I love it. I don't like spending much on it, and IMO the durability is really excellent. What really helps is that they sell cheap covers for my couches, so if I get bored of them or they get dirty I can just buy a new cover for 29 euros and it's like a brand new couch again!
- fnord77 6y agofurniture snobs are just a whole other level of snobbery. I once wandered into a designer furniture store and came out feeling like I had been programmed by a cult. Also felt poor after looking at the price tags. "that nightstand costs as much as a car? I'll take 3 !"
- iso1631 6y agoAsked around the office (mainly London based), 6 people like Ikea furniture, 1 person didn't. All aggreed that the delivery service is rubbish. Tiny sample
- GekkePrutser 6y agoI was really happy with the delivery service here in Spain actually! They brought it all the way up to the apartment and they were quick and careful. But yeah N=1 :)
