A few years ago you could walk into any shed and buy a tall bookcase - nothing special just veneered chipboard, big capacity, fairly plain, ok for an office type of thing. None of the local ones seem seem to do them anymore. Places like viking want silly money for them. Any other suppliers you can think of?

- they *MAY* have what you want at a reasonable price - depending on which way the wind is blowing and what special offers they are running. :-)
May be worth a look - it's surprising what you can pick there on occassions.

I went to IKEA once. It was in Bratislava after I had dropped my parents off at the airport. The tour of Auschwitz 2 days earlier was a much happier experience.

Argos flatpack is complete s**te. Don't touch it with a barge pole.
IKEA is extreemly well made for the price - and they do nice hot dogs in store!
Oh. And lots of attractive women to look at :-)
(last time I was there anyway).
Just like Argos then... ;-)
This isn't a branch in Medway, then! :-)

In so many ways!
People diss Ikea; usually those who've never bought furniture from there. The style may be an acquired taste, but the quality can't be faulted. I've had furniture 'n stuff from there for over fifteen years. It's all fitted together perfectly and has lasted years, including several house moves. Indeed, I've just disposed of a wardrobe today (that was surplus to requirements due to me buying new ones) that I bought in 1993 that's survived four moves and Pickford's best efforts to destroy it.
