Yesterday went to IKEA to buy stuff, took me one whole day to see everything (about 7 hours, lol?). My legs are so sore.

In Europe, IKEA is known for its cheap price, thus the quality, most of the items are outsource from different part of the world, some from India, Myanmar and China, but I believe they have their own QC control as well. But IKEA in my opinion is focus on design rather than quality, hence the price. If you browse any IKEA catologue in UK, you may find it cheaper (don't multiply 7 la), compare to other competitors such as dfs, scs, etc etc. Their target market normally for young people who just started new family or just bought a home. With such basic idea, that's what made Ingvar Kamprad one of the top 5 in FORBES list!

Certain furnitures are worth buying, but some are just ridiculously expensive. There are quite many things on great discount now, go check 'em out.

All I know is their ad is crap. Went to enquire those too good to believe items, it's either sold out, even if I went there Fri/Sat morning(FYI their weekly promotion starts on Fri/Sat) or not available at the branch (though the ad didn't mention for specific branch only).

i think ikea price is in mid range. but their furnitures really match each others. if u get from those Ldp furnitureshop and those warehouse furnitureshop, their design really sucks one and i remember travelling from Seri Kembangan, damansara, puchong to Sungei Buloh looking for the right colours of the furniture and its design. those local furniture shipped from norhtern states or southern states factories. massive production one.
if u dont have budget and still like to look nice, IKEA is the answer. Cavenzi furnitures is also cheap but not IN. If u like english and contemporary, stick to IKEA all time and you will see the difference. Otherwise, u pay more for high-end furniture to get that FEEL!
IKEA colours is NO 1 , good combination and very ergonomics . they go for SIMPLICITY & MINIMALISM. If u like Retro colour, u should know strong colours such as the 80's era. james Bond theme. I think those of u who don't like about IKEA is the Quality of the Furniture but l there's a quote that said " U pay Peanuts, U gets Monkey" . So. dont lah expect so much from IKEA . U already have the Affordable Design Massively produced and Designed by Designers from Sweden some more.
Macy is pretty similar but very cottage look and old. price on the high side. If want cheap maybe can try Courts Mammoth, u see the difference from low to mid to high end furniture like Lorenzo and Fella.
By the way, IKEA save my Shopping Time. One Stop Home Center.

I always tot IKEA stuffs are very nice design-wise. It's a bit expensive tho. But most of the stuffs like book racks or small cabinets, once you install it, tighten de screw and everything, better dont dismantle already. They will reput. Seriously, bought some for my house and after a year, they reput. Sigh..

Actually my dad got a couple of cabinet and rack from ikea. So far so good. it has been for about 3-4 years already. still quite sturdy.. I am planning to get a sofa for my gf house. Klippan for Rm549. for that price i think its quite reasonable. its either that or from Cavinzi... any one have any experience with ikea sofas??

In the US, Ikea products are considered cheap therefore in terms of durability it is not that good. However, the designs are fantastic and modern. Clean and simple. It is expensive over here due to Malaysia's currency value which is lower.

they're good for basic things. but to completely fill your house with their stuff, just shows that you are not very creative.
