Re: Daily, Nightly and Ever So Rightly II *Chat Thread*
Got a mini-rant...which I Almost posted in Lynch's "Grind Me Gears" journal.
Went shopping yesterday for a bookcase, I need two of them to sort out the last of my computer stuff in the new house. So I looked around and the only ones that would do the job are available at IKEA.
I HATE IKEA!...
First they have done so much highway construction I drove right past the only two exit ramps that would take me to the massive sprawling mess they call South Edmonton Common. The whole set-up should be photographed and documented and posted as study material for aspiring engineers, architects and city planners as how NOT TO design and build a commercial center. It is beyond stupid, I have often thought engineers live in their own dimension and trying to navigate the maze to get where I wanted to go was ridiculous.
Then there's the IKEA floorplan itself.
It's like a damned maze in the store and you sort of have to go through it to find what item you are looking for before you go to the self serve warehouse end and pick it up yourself. I managed to find what I wanted, but not in the colour I want, I am so tired of everything being painted "Black", from audio gear to bookcases I wanted a nice dark woodgrain finish but all of those are sold out leaving White and Black as your two choices.
I only shop at IKEA for bookcases, their furniture sucks in my opinion and I am stunned when I think about how successful they are worldwide and just can't fathom it.
If I go another decade without visiting their store I will be more than happy.
