packaging. We have a wannabe Ikea in NZ called "Mocka"
but their stuff comes with a mass of polystyrene. There is
another small outfit here who take your Ikea order and when
they have enough orders buy in UK and ship in container. The
wait can be lengthy ...

@wolfgang59 saidPlease tell me that IKEA still has instructions included, unlike so many things I have purchased lately. They all say, “ go to our Webb site for instructions”.👿😮

@great-big-stees saidThey have written instructions so that a normally intelligent person (not me though) can actually make something out of it.

@wolfgang59 saidIf you ever lost me sir in Ikea you would find me at the pick and mix.
I still have nightmares of wandering around the Wembley IKEA.
I lost a friend there. The PTSD is always with me.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat's the playroom for the grownups. 🙂

@caesar-salad saidNeither have I ... always waited until I got home.
I suppose my random fact today is that I have never been in an IKEA.
Though I believe their toilets are immaculate.
@caesar-salad saidGood for you, their crap is all over priced anyway!!!

@torunn saidAgreed, a great place to spend a few hours.
What I love about Ikea (I might have mentioned it before) is the mix of practicality and design. We could actually create a practical and stylish first home with their variety of things, it doesn't cost a fortune. You can have a meal there, prices and menu adjusted to families with children. There is a playroom for the kids, staff everywhere to guide you and help you. I think ...[text shortened]... ic idea that Ikea gives you value even for little money.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI go there sometimes with friends or family to see what's new, or to buy things for the kitchen which always seems outdated, and to have a meal and a glass of wine. It's only 30 minutes by bus.

@torunn saidI also enjoy wandering around the showrooms and dreaming of a different existence.

And the pick and mix. Did I mention the pick and mix?
