[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only really buy the (few) all wood pieces, and I plan to buy some stuff over the next few months because my small children wreck everything anyway. [/quote]

What do they have that is all wood? I can't find any[/quote]

They do have solid wood furniture, but you have to look at the tags in the store to see what things are made of. I have some old children's solid pine furniture that's survived for 15 years, and is still doing fine. Does not look like fine furniture, but still looks great in a child's room.

I buy lots of Ikea stuff. I like the cheap flowerpots, some bedding items, cheap pillow covers and especially like the curtains, which are incredibly cheap. I bought velvet curtains for a fraction of what I'd pay elsewhere. They look like I paid double or triple what I paid, and they are all cotton, really very attractive. If you look up close, you'll see they are unlined, but the fabric drapes well, and they look very nice. I bought a bed frame for $100 to use as a daybed in my office. It looks modern, yes, that's what I wanted.

I like the clean lines of most Ikea stuff. It goes very well in my country house, and with all my country antiques.

I also have Ikea kitchen cabinets. So much cheaper than almost any other cabinet brand, and they look really nice. I bought the wood doors, which are sturdy and attractive. Most people would never imagine my kitchen came from Ikea. The appliances and countertops I got elsewhere (on sale). Ikea is great when you need something fast and cheap.

I don't like European modern style, but the stuff I've bought at Ikea looks fairly traditional, just cleaner, which I like. [/quote]
