I really enjoy going to IKEA which is near Orlando here.  The two main reasons I like them is one, they have some really cool furnishing and accessories.  Two, is that much of their stuff is cheap and/or moderately priced.  We still have several months before our house is ready, but we are trying to get some ideas on things we do need.  We really don’t need to get too much stuff, just a few things that either need to be replaced or something we needed, but never got around to getting.

Just today we picked up a couple of sleek side tables, two of them cost less than $30.  One area they really shine in is in the office and workspace areas.  They seem to have every possible combination of desk and workspaces you can imagine.  With our new house, I have to give up my dedicated office so all the kids will have their own rooms.  Now I will have to setup my office in the formal living room, which there is plenty of space, but I think I will need a better desk setup.

This is one that we really liked.

There’s a generous amount of desk area which is attached to a storage unit with plenty space to put office supplies, books, etc.  It’s just over $200 which is a pretty good deal I think.

Anybody have an office area with IKEA stuff?

Anyone want about 20 Allen Keys....ALL the same size?
So true!

Better a new one whenever it's needed, than not having it included at all.

The funniest (and most telling) part of those Allen Keys (and similar tools from other kits) is that we never throw them away.

Human nature is a funny thing.

Over the years I have bought quite a bit of R.T. A furniture... and thus have an entire toolkit comprised of such tools, which is handy when a neighbour comes over to borrow a whatever... no need to make a federal case out of it if it isn't returned...

However, the last bloke who borrowed something and didn't return it... well I borrowed his wife and didn't return her.

Yeah, I know.... and who was I to send her back to a monster!

Perhaps I should have loaned him a handgrenade instead... with metal fatigue in the pin...

would have made things interesting when he stuck it in his pocket.

IKEA is nice, but too expensive here.

The five years of Australian Grands Prix.....'80 to '84 at Calder Park [in Melbourne] I was Comms [Jafo] at Repco [turn 1]...and proceeded to acquire a full set of half-nine-sixteenths open ended spanners.....yes....all the bloody same size.

Fuzzy Logic

I mostly do italian food myself and some mexican, spanish, american style pancakes/burgers.
Sounds a real Smörgåsbord...

 

Buy an IKEA kitchen table. Then you could say that you're having swedish breakfast or dinner every day.
