I've been shopping at Ikea for years, and while many people still believe they are cheap in quality and sell only assembly-required plain pine shelving, they have truly expanded their style and quality over the years. While recently shopping there I found an extremely modern and trendy lamp which I'd seen elsewhere for approximately $200 and it was only $40 at Ikea! Same goes for their area rugs. We've bought three of them in the last ten years and probably saved somewhere around $1000, compared to other stores. As far as their quality goes, we still own a sofa we bought there 10 years ago, and it looks and feels fine. Same goes for one of our living room chairs, and all of our dining room chairs. I highly reccommend them!
