IKEA is NOT green…it’s colors are blue and yellow! How obvious.
(lighten up people…many are dying in Iraq every day for no reason, and all of you are concerned about where we should buy furniture. Some people in the world don’t even own any furniture…and I can assure you that they are not obsessing about where IKEA builds another store. They are just trying to figure out how to make it to the next day.)
I had the same problem with my Thomasville furniture when I upgraded from Ikea. I purchased the Kent Park bedroom Armoire, Headboard, dresser and mirror. The mahogany veneers are starting to peel and crack and when I informed Thomasville, I was told that it was no longer under warranty. $8000 down the drain. From what I hear Drexel Heritage and Bernhardt aren’t much better. BTW, 11:22 you are an ass.
12:56 that is not ikea problem, it’s the consumers that should drive hybrid cars or take more public transportation rather than driving SUV’s just like I suppose you do!
someday i hope to be rich enough to be able to choose not to shop at places like this. but economics wins out here (and pretty much everywhere else these days).
i dunno about your neighborhood, but my ‘local furniture stores’ sell overpriced gaudy crap. i am however a big proponent of buying stuff off craigslist; there’s a green solution.
Yes, by all means, I hope everyone takes advantage of the free shuttle bus to get to Red Hook. As well as the free water taxi to and from Manhattan. I have no plan on shopping at Ikea but will def take advantage of their free services. BTW, i’m sure these services will not be free forever. Just Ikea trying to make themselves out to be this all-good company.

So wait, the shuttle bus and water taxi are free? what is stopping a red hook resident from using this to commute to work?

Where can you get the water taxi in Manhattan? How cool is that?

I like the shuttle bus from Boro Hall.
Really a nice public service.
Bravo IKEA!
If people are driving 90 miles to Ikea, odds are that there aren’t any affordable local furniture stores.
