I welcome our new Swedish overlords and humbly await some tasty meatballs

there's one coming to Raleigh too?

5/18/2017 2:42:24 PM

Next to Cary Town Center per WRAL

5/18/2017 3:10:01 PM

Great. Cheap furniture that requires at least an hour of assembly.

I've never seen the draw to IKEA.

5/18/2017 3:18:53 PM

It's the cheap furniture part.

5/18/2017 3:19:32 PM

There are lots of ways to go in this world. Furniture is one of the few places where you get what you pay for, and where it pays to invest up front.

Ikea also has some VERY nice quality furniture. It's not all knock-down particle board shit.

ehh i developed this habit of referring to any place in the triangle as Raleigh after moving to richmond.

5/18/2017 3:38:45 PM

You can get cheaper, better quality, easier-to-assemble furniture online.

5/18/2017 3:41:18 PM

Where?

5/18/2017 4:10:29 PM

too many goddamn bobbys on TWW.

^^https://www.wayfair.com/ for one example. just search google for what you need and you will find better quality/price than damn IKEA

5/18/2017 4:26:49 PM

wayfair is a mix of shit, its the same as saying you can get better on amazon or something

My mom does that shit and it drives me nuts.

"How's Raleigh?"

"I have no idea. I live in Carrboro."

5/18/2017 5:40:56 PM

^How's chapel hill?

5/18/2017 6:25:34 PM

^^^I found a heavy-duty real wood TV stand for less than the particle board IKEA crap that people love buying for some unknown reason

5/18/2017 6:28:29 PM

^ nearly all of my Ikea stuff is solid wood

[Edited on May 18, 2017 at 6:32 PM. Reason : But I do like the selection of the wayfair]

5/18/2017 6:32:13 PM

I thought all IKEA was that break apart put together mess. So you're telling me they also sell Whitley Gallery-type furniture?

5/18/2017 8:05:12 PM

They have lots of solid wood pieces that you put together yourself.

Well at least we can go there rather easily and they are located next to each other. I can bike from the western edge of Carrboro to Chapel Hill in under ten minutes. Driving to fucking Raleigh can take longer than getting to Burlington for me, but nobody calls CH/Carrboro Burlington.

so you talked about a dislike of something you've never had any personal experience with?

I wish TGL would just stop responding to my posts. There is absolutely nothing that I can say that he won't criticize.

5/19/2017 7:21:23 AM

not a criticism, just a question

5/19/2017 10:42:52 AM

Still the best record storage solution on the market.

5/19/2017 10:53:06 AM

Kallax is okay, but doesn't look as nice as Expedit. Both of them have the problem of being way too deep for records. I agree that they're the best solution on the market as far as price/practicality, but you still have to put stops in the back of them for them to work really well as record shelves.

5/20/2017 10:22:52 PM

The big question is will IKEA be able to have those bright obnoxious colors on their building in Cary. Best Buy wasn't allowed to have their blue store front. It will be interesting because you know that the Town probably gave IKEA whatever they wanted to try to get them there.

Not specifically related to IKEA, but regarding the adjacent property across Cary Towne Blvd:

No IKEA after all.

i am very upset about this

5/23/2018 3:16:01 PM

Oh no, people will have to continue to drive to Charlotte to buy shitty furniture!

5/23/2018 3:18:55 PM

You taste in furniture must be very refined, Mr. Fancy Pants.

My entertainment center is still like new 10 years later, and I'm perfectly happy with it.

5/23/2018 3:23:55 PM

Actually I use cinderblocks and 2x4s for all my furniture needs.

5/23/2018 3:47:37 PM

This tickles me to no end. Fuck Cary.

5/23/2018 4:13:34 PM

I think Wayfair is devouring IKEA's market share.
