"People became agitated and eventually they started trying to charge the doors."

WTF??? It's furniture FFS ...Numptys

 

Saw this on the news this morning

 

I was gonna go - am I glad I didn't

 

One woman said on the local news this morning, "Ikea were offering beds for as little as Ł50, they should have expected problems!"

WTF

Think someone was stabbed too.

 

Stabbed for a cheap bed

WTF are things coming to

 

Heard adverts on the radio for the opening last night, there were some dirt cheap prices, but Ikea is dirt cheap shit furniture!

 

"Tottenham MP David Lammy said Ikea should have known offering cheap prices in a "poor" area would cause a rush"

"Patricia Ming said when the doors opened one woman "pushed her way forward screaming with excitement" then the crowd rushed in through the doors".

classics pmsl

 

IMO worst place ever, wont go there ever again, why? Cos when you finally find the crappy shelf etc your after, you have to still walk the complete shop, two floors to get to the warehouse bit, then find the shelf on some rack somewhere, lug it to the till, then lug it out to your car

 

Got my model cabinets from IKEA. Ł35 and a similar cabinet was almost Ł200 in John Lewis

A lot of it is total shite but you can get some good stuff there

 

you have to do this your self because they only charge you about Ł5 for a shelf, Ł12 for a set of drawers, Ł20 for a wardrobe etc
If you had some half-wit to ask where things were and some nonce to get it for you along with the warehouse guy to help you to your car then i expect the prices would more that tripple.

 

So now they can say im harder than muhamed im hard bruce lee cos 'i fought the war in nam'

Vietnam???

No .................TotteNAM

I'll get me coat

 

My entire bedroom is decroated recently with furniture from Ikea.

No complains at all - great value for money, and it looks superb.

Anyway Phil, how can you be putting down Ikea furniture - you're a student! Your version of furniture is the floor

 

LMAO AJ

 

Snap mate. As the wife and I have only recently moved in together it made sense.

Snap again Bedroom looks pretty good and cost next to bugger all. Don't like the self assembly tools they give ya though. I end up using two cordless drills. One for a screwdriver and one for the allen key.

And PMSL I thought as a student you just sat on your old take away cartons

 

 

I like most of the Ikea stuff - was there last night actually (Bristol) for some curtains for the spare bedroom. Ł11.50 I think for a pair - lined too

 

 

You think thats crazy?!
SADLY, NOT THE FIRST TIME! I think Ikea marketting department & security have a lot to answer for.....
