I just want Brooklyn to stay exactly the way I’m used to, forever.
Are all four of my family members supposed to sit on the one stool that I can afford to buy from E.J. Audi? Or maybe I could just save up 5000K to purchase a rug there and we can use it as living room furniture, bedroom furniture and the dining room table.
Sorry Denton but not all of us are multi-millionares who can afford E.J.Audi – I almost have to believe your post is supposed to be ironic, otherwise you definitely win the award for most out of touch poster of the day.
All of you who are complaining about cheap crap made in China should be shopping at E.J. Audi, aka Stickley. The family lives in BH, showroom in Manhattan, solid wood (aka renewable), lasts a lifetime, made locally (upstate NY). Not cheap, but reasonable.
Also, Scott Jordan, Pampoumosic (sp), Thomas Moser, etc.
Most of the so-called local furniture stores sell low-quality laminate crap that was made overseas.
Gothic Cabinet Craft makes real wood furniture at a decent price. Not as cheap as Ikea, certainly, and nothing particularly modern if that’s the look you’re after.
While its true much of the stuff made by Ikea is made overseas the sofas and some of the other furniture is make in the USA! They even opened a manufacturing plant in the south(upstate NY was considered) The cutting board I bought was made in India and the quilt cover in Bangladesh. I looked up the Nazi issue and found they opened a store in Israel in 2002.
Traffic wasn’t a problem when I drove down there today at 1. But I expect that at 10 it was a zoo and will be so on the weekends although I did see the shuttle buses as well as the PD( a NYC Police LT) was directing traffic.
4:56 PM,
full furniture sets cheap at goodwill in Clinton Hill on Downing street. some are quite nice. also kitchen cabs (very nice ones) at build it green in queens. these are just two off the top of my head. take a minute and look around.
11:43 AM,
as stated above in several posts, IKEA is probably one of the least green companies imaginable. the fact that they have duped anyone into advertising that falseness is inexplicable. they churn out garbage furniture that has short life span, half of which is made with plastic laminates (and plastic itself), and it’s all made as cheaply as possible by cheap labor in far away places. not only is it junk that fills landfills, but its embodied energy is massive. enjoy your “green” furniture. i imagine Walmart is now green too, as are all stores, it sells don’t you know.
And what’s the deal with, they drive it in from NJ arguments? Where do you think EVERYTHING in Manhattan/ Brooklyn comes from?
Ever notice how there are virtually zero docks in NYC and tons of them in NJ?
