Ikea - Saving Money or Saving Quality?
The furniture in the bedroom was 15 years old, was out-dated and out-fashioned and out-living its purpose. In short, it was falling apart. We have been looking for new bedroom furniture for years and always delaying the final decision to get a new one. We liked many things along the years but the mere thought of the work associated with getting rid of the old furniture as selling it out or simply dumping it and the successive efforts to bring the new one was simply too much for us. And there was also the issue of money. Some of the lovely designer stuff we loved was simply outrageously expensive.
My husband and I were somehow getting used to the idea that getting new furniture will never be easy and at the right moment. Then we got an Ikea catalog from a friend and started saying to each other “Look at that…That surely cannot be that cheap…”. The furniture was simple, unpretentious, basic and looked sturdy. Not so different than what we wanted.And the prices, boy! Sure, you have to go get yourself and if needed, to put the furniture together yourself but that was perfectly feasible, our friends reassured us.
So, one sunny Saturday we found ourselves parking in front of the nearest huge Ikea outlet and some 2 hours and a half later we were heading back home with a full set of bedroom furniture. We even saved some money of our planned budget that could go for a new living room sofa. The fact is, shopping at Ikea was a piece of cake. The variety of models is sufficient and we got some nice help from the shop assistants, the warranty services sounded nice and considering that any additional expenses will go only for fuel services, we were extremely happy to solve our bedroom issue at some great prices.
