[quote=Anonymous]I like it.

Yes, it is predominantly cheap throw-away furniture.  But there are a number of decent products in there.  I have a futon couch/bed that is over 20 years old from there.  I have a Poang chair that is about 25 years old.  I have a Malm dresser that is about 20 years old.  My dining room chairs are a little over 15 years old.  Yes, I have had a bunch of stuff that was just used a few years and tossed, but some of the pieces have lasted a long time.

It's a great place to take the kids on rainy days.  Fortunately we live 10 minutes away and can go easily.  Sometimes the kids play in the Smaland playroom.  Other times they come and wander the maze with me when I'm looking for something.  They enjoy exploring the furniture, looking at decorations, and playing.  They try out chairs and couches and beds.  They like the food.  I like it that we can get a meal pretty cheap.  And we park ourselves near the play area in the cafeteria and they can eat quickly and then go to play and I (or my wife and I) can take a little more time without having to entertain them after they've finished eating.  They like exploring the children's area and now that they can read, they can help me shop and look for things by reading the tags and signs.  We usually get them out of the house daily to a playground or somewhere they can burn off a bunch of energy.  Rainy days are hard.  They are a bit old for Chick-Fil-A now, but we can go and burn off energy at Ikea pretty easily.  I also like that on rainy days we don't have to worry about coats.  We get in the car in the garage and we can park in the underground parking at Ikea and never have to go out in the rain.[/quote]
