As Brooklynites who love cheaply made Scandinavian furniture, this is something we can all relate to.

I love Ikea in general, but agree with what you are saying.

Not that I will be here but its exciting Charlotte will be getting one soon.

^dont get me wrong, I love ikea 2...i just hate the one in brooklyn

7/8/2008 4:09:01 PM

i thought ikea was just furniture

7/8/2008 4:10:53 PM

Furniture, lighting, mirrors, kitchen shit, and a cheap cafe

7/8/2008 4:25:47 PM

^^DC is closer if you're in Raleigh.

7/8/2008 4:37:41 PM

^I'm in Charleston. It'd be nice if the Charlotte location was already open...

7/8/2008 4:41:10 PM

Charlotte is closer than atlanta to chuck town?

7/8/2008 4:42:21 PM

i hate when flies land on my balls and i dont have the strength to splink

7/8/2008 5:30:33 PM

^^ No, but I will be driving back and forth to greensboro fairly often to see Atlas, and will be driving through Charlotte quite a bit



[Edited on July 8, 2008 at 5:41 PM. Reason : I'm actually not sure which is closer- I hear Atlanta is over 4 hrs away, so Clt may be closer...]

I saw my first actual IKEA store this weekend @ Potomac Mills. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go inside to look-- I'll have to make a point to do so next time. Potomac Mills on 4th of July weekend was INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
