Do you consider IKEA to be expensive?

Question

Do you think that the things in IKEA are alot of money or just a normal amount? I wuld like to get some things from there to furnish my apartment when I move in but I'm not sure of the price range there. How do the prices compare to other furniture stores?

Answer 1

i think they are really cheap for the most part! the bedding is sort of expensive, but the furniture is moderatly priced. i love ikea. when i was pregnant, my husband got me this HUGE red fuzzy ottoman that had 6 blow up things on the inside so it was really big and soft. i lived on it, it was so comfortable. it took up half our living room and it was only 50 dollars! going to ikea is definatly a cool experiance as well. they have awesome stores, and they even have a nursing lounge area for breastfeeding mothers. it is a very cool place. good luck...i hope you find something you love!!

When I moved, I first checked Craigslist for free items.  I then drove around at month end when people were moving and looked for items left on the sidewalk with 'free' signs.  I live in a university town and every month, but especially June and September, there are piles of stuff that are being offered for free.  I only bought one thing - my futon.  I bought it at IKEA but didn't really think I was getting a great deal.  Many furniture stores will mark down items with small scratches or when part of the set has been purchased.  They want to get rid of the remaining pieces.  It depends on how much time you have.  If you don't have a lot of time, you may be better off just getting what you need at IKEA
