A few years back if you asked anyone about what comes from Sweden, they'd have probably listed Bjorn Borg, Abba and Volvos. Ask now and Ikea is bound to figure prominently for many people, especially for those of us fortunate to live not too far from one of their stores. (Fortunate I suppose ... Read review

I've visited their stores a few times ... ...had any complaints about the quality itself - in fact like the aforementioned imports I've always found it pretty solid, reliable and you know what you're going to get. But trekking round the stores has always put me off. I have over half an hour drive to get to my closest one in Warrington, you can queue for ever at the checkouts, if you have the misfortune to buy something and then once you've got home found anything wrong you have to repeat the ...
