If there is a hell somewhere in the afterlife I bet it's housed in a blue and yellow building

There may not be a worse shopping experience in this entire world than when you drive up to that large Blue and Yellow colored building straight outa a country who prides itself on shitty meatballs including the drummer from Metallica

Not only do they make you make your way through a rat maze of birch wood and red tabletops but then when you finally think you've gotten to daylight you are confronted from the inside of a warehouse with all the same crap you just tried to get away from.

IKEA has three qualities

-Cheap and shitty
You see a wall unit for $73.84 and it sounds like a great deal. You bring it home and you realize the formica looks kinda shitty but the real problem is when you try to move it.. This quality is so poor that the first time you try to move it, you realize the entire piece was being propped up and kept together by the wall..

- Midrange and shitty
At least you get real wood and it's not completely dependent on the living room wall to stay upright but don't expect this to make it through a single move. Anytime you realize the entire contraption is being held together by an allen wrench screw you may as well sell it with the house.

- expensive
How the hell is it that the last time I went to IKEA to price out kitchen cabinets they got a price quote of like $3000. Now granted this is their 'top of the line' quality but it's still held together with three screws and now the stuff is so damned heavy that you couldn't possibly ask any normal drywall to hold any of it.
So if you like shards of glass in your swedish meatballs.. this one's for you
