My Ikea love/hate relationship
November 19th, 2005
“This afternoon we went to Ikea to get a couple more bookcases and a CD/DVD
tower.
- I love that Ikea are now in East Palo Alto and we no longer
have to drive to Emeryville.
- I love the Billy range of bookcases. Good
value for a good price.
- I hate that they have long lines at the five open
checkouts (out of 20 possible ones that they could open).
- I hate that when
you are trying to load the really heavy bookcases into your vehicle, there is
nobody from Ikea in sight to help you. At least when you get home, you can cut
the box open and carry the pieces into the house one at a time.

Overall, the love is winning out over the hate, so we keep going back.”
