A Novice’s Guide To IKEA
” With new stores appearing all the time, IKEA has sparked a national debate.
Some welcome the Swedish furniture giant to our shores; others detest all that
it stands for. Much like marmite, there is no middle ground – you either love it
or you hate it.
So whilst doing some redecorating I decided to make a
trip to my nearest IKEA to decide whether I was a lover or a hater. Oh, and I
compiled a few handy hints for any other undiscovered IKEA virgins out
there…
Oh, another word of advice, don’t go against the flow.
Tempting as it may be to return to the ‘Market Hall’ when you are in the
Warehouse, DON’T – YOU WILL ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS. Much like cattle or sheep being
herded into a field every visitor walks round the store in the same direction,
crowded together. Appropriate name ‘Market Hall’, I found out.”
