Now you're scaring me! Danny's all hot to go to an Ikea if one ever opens here...I've never been to one. I thought I was old enough and had enough wherewithall now that we'd buy pre-assembled, but I understand you have to put all their stuff together!
Ikea is swedish for "some assembly required." There were five in the greater Toronto area. The Ivar shelving is great for workshops and toolrooms but I'm not fond of much else.
With careful shopping, IKEA yields some good buys on basic furniture. I think it takes at least one or two trips through the store to figure out exactly where their limitations become apparent, but what they do well, they do very well and very inexpensively.

What is it about Kraft Macaroni & Cheese that enthralls Canadians to the point of becoming an integral part of the Canadian lexicon? ("KD")
