"I love the affordability, the designs, and the funky names. Frankly, I love the nostalgia...when I was a little younger and starting out, and I needed the Swedish furniture giant, they were there for me. There's one thing I've never loved, however, and that I think very few people do: the fact that buying furniture from IKEA usually means anywhere between 15 minutes and a few hours worth of frustrating assembly." --Bill Murphy #IkeaTaskRabbit …see more
