IKEA MH stuff? (3 Viewers)

[dabhand]

Meatballs

Ed beat me to it!

 

[dabhand]

I HATE IKEA!

It's awkward to get to, the one way system annoys me, there are always queues at the tills ... but I have to go there this weekend

So, to make it worth my while, is there any MH goodies that IKEA sell that I could get to brighten my day?

I'm talking stuff that is highly recommended ... not just 'because it's there' though

PS The breakfast/food doesn't count!!

If you don't know you need it you probably don't!

Oh oh. Just found reference to this -

IKEA FAMILY Membership

I'm guessing it's not free ... looks like you have to pay x2 for everything if you're not a member. Great when you only want one item.

Membership used to be free and it only gives a discount on a few selected items on offer at the time. The best thing about it is unlimited free tea and coffee!

Its still free We don't get the free tea and coffee coz we tend to go at weekends, but I do find sometimes the items on offer for members are worth it. For a free scheme its not bad.

As long as it has enough screws and isn't missing the Allen key.

Reminds me, I must go and use my Christmas Tree voucher, a lovely real tree as tall as my ceiling for £25 with £20 voucher to spend in store. I wouldn't bother if the store was not 15 mins away and I know best time to go and all the cut through so no going round the one way system.
I sort of agree with earlier poster as I also used to only go in Sweden going on 40 years ago, long before they opened here. I think, though, looking back with fondness as there was nothing like it here. Used to come back with estate car fully loaded in back and on roof rack.

If you live a way away, always pop by the customer service desk before leaving. There, you can help yourself to extra screws and fittings.

By the way @Vanman dont forget a visit to the help yourself bin of broken carcasses in the car park, many extra lightweight dividers can be made from thin pieces that are not the dreaded chipboard.

Never been inside an IKEA store. What am I missing?

Don't do it - just don't do it. My worst nightmare - I tremble in fear if my wife even hints she wants me to go with her.

You'll make it easier on yourself if you accept the pain in advance and go with the flow

No one gets my mobile number except my friends and family (and not all of them! ). If someone ever gets mobile number 00000 000000 then they are going to get a lot of my spare spam

Yes have all three of these

 

[MichelleRyall]

Yes have all three of these

I have two out of three. We use the blue mats for motocross and then bin them when they have outlived their usefulness ..usually when I can't vacuum them clean any more. The pegs are good for goggles and gloves in the awning after a race.

The Jall clothes drying rack at a £5 is superb, Folds flat also fits our shower and sits in the aisle of the MH.
Their cheapo SKanka frying pans at £3.75 are lightweight and clean up easily. We brought one on a use it for the season and ditch it basis. Still as good as new 5 years on!
We've also got one of the small plywood draw units great for all those fiddly bits.
I spend hours in the Market Hall much to SWMBO's annoyance

Really ,it is called a Skanka ?

Never been inside an IKEA store. What am I missing?

or me.

Love it!

The " Bin of broken carcasses" love it .
Bet our one doesn't have one. Not that I 'm even considering going there .

 

[busby]

Give it a shot. Well worth an afternoon out, especially now your thinking about the new house. They do have have some cracking ideas and the quality is good.
Go mid week - far less crowded

Quieter after 3 pm,,yummy mummies have to rush off to collect their kids from school..BUSBY.

OK - finally got there today, so here's the match report.

Went to IKEA but forgot to take membership number. Never mind – had my list. Took it to the ‘bag man’ at the entrance and he said “oh yes – up the stairs, behind the blue screen there’s a door, go left, through the wardrobes, through the second secret door and it’ll bring you right out at the main thing on your list”. Armed with no bag because I couldn’t get him to tell me whether I took one there or up above … I ended up lost in the middle somewhere. More by luck than good judgement I eventually found my article, but next to it was one that looked even better, but I couldn’t be sure and there were no prices on anything and nobody to ask. Having lost the will to live I found the exit and left, at least I didn’t have to find somewhere to drop my bag off – maybe the bag man was wise and had seen it all before. Got home to look at the other item on the web site and it’s not listed on there. Great.

Can't wait to go back, maybe in another 10 years or so

SWMBO dragged me to the one at Bluewater or whatever the dumps called near the Dartford tunnel.

Meatballs were good, the rest of the shop Aaaargh. I hate shopping at the best of times but this is a vision of hell, and because of the stupid one way system you have to go round the whole place.

Never again.

You only have to follow the one way system and walk the entire store if you are stupid,,,Excellent products,,good quality at low prices. Who else gives a 25 year guarantee on kitchens and a 5 year warranty on white goods,,BUSBY

It's worth going just to see some of the weird names that the stuff has!!! Even funnier if you try to pronounce them correctly!!!

The meatballs, gravy, jam and chips
