@torunn saidYes that is true. Here one is considered rich if you shop at Ikea, I have picked up a few things. I don't consider myself Rich but don't have to do without either. I am very fortunate compared to many.
Yes, and different ideas about quality. Anyway, I love Ikea and enjoy being there admiring what their interior designers accomplish. In my new home I mix expensive and inexpensive things, it gives a solid impression. All things don't have to be top quality but some must.

@torunn saidI would assume if you gave me the price of an item and I priced it at our only Location in our area it would cost more here. That is why I say you guys could be given lower prices as Ikea originated there correct?

@very-rusty saidOK, for a couch such as the one I have in my home, Ektorp design, I would pay today SEK 5,495. See if you can find it at your Ikea store.

Now to find out what they would charge at our Ikea for it.
We know the price in the U.S and Canada after conversion.
I like it personally, I just thought it would be fun to see what they charge for it here.

Maybe this one? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/search/products/?q=ektorp%20couch%20
It's called Upland in Canada and you can find the one I have in colour grey. And the price in Canadian dollars.
@torunn saidI am planning on going directly to the store first chance I get in the next couple of weeks. It is a good drive from where I am located.

@very-rusty saidI googled your quote with the word Ikea added at the beginning.
Indeed, but it is an expensive place although the quality is very good.

Over the years, Ikea products have been criticized for their poor quality and shoddy craftsmanship, which have resulted in allergic reactions, malfunctions, and in some cases, even tragic injuries. All told, it's enough to make even the most avid Ikea shopper think twice before buying certain products at the store.Nov 11, 2021
Shoppers love IKEA because of how affordable its furniture is. Many IKEA products cost about half the price of competitors. Part of why IKEA's prices are so low is that it packs everything flat to save on storage and transportation costs.Oct 12, 2018
