IlliniKrush Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Don't go there, the place is ridiculous and way too big. I had to do some shopping for stuff for my apartment and just couldn't stand it. Too much of everything and way too many decisions to make on every piece of furnishing known to man I think it's just wrong when you have to choose from about 30 chairs for a desk, many with weird designs. Or a lamp for our front room? 15 choices? I think i said to my mom at one point "what are they trying to do here, reinvent the wheel?" And that about sums up my thoughts on what they've done. Another quote was "sometimes i wish i lived in the 1950's" For a guy it really tests your patience because it's so big and there's so many options. Keep it simple and don't make me make so many decisions, i hate shopping to begin with even when it's for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 The way the carts ride up the escalator is really cool, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 How big is that store? Walmart size? Anyways, I hear ya on hating shopping...That's why Christmas shopping always is hard for me. If you don't wanna have to decide on 30 choices, try going to Walmart or Target. The stuff's probably less expensive as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Do what I do, buy the more expensive things. Because they are more exspensive, there is a less quantity of the item. Exspensive things are better anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather, it's about a little smaller than a Wal-Mart...but...it's three stories. Three big hexagons (or octagons) with all the escalators and stuff in the middle. It's a pretty awesome place. Lots of stuuf for the home from furniture to storage containers to pictures and kitchen stuff. IKEA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that's a spot-on description of my dorm room last year. Except there weren't any milk crates, or Playboys; mostly SI's and SPIN magazines stolen from the lobby.
