- Although there are some REAL good deals at IKEA, one of which is the
- $10 Christmas Pine Tree that you can get your money back when you return
- the tree after new Year's, most of the items are not worth the price,
- be it on their high or low price range.
-
- I bought thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from them and I am
- NOT SATISFIED with about 75% of them! (Christine of IKEA, can I get
- my money back ?).
-
- example, I bought a high priced table thinking I will be getting a better
- quality for some more $$$, but in less than a year, the paint is chipping
- off ! I bought a low price sofa bed, and in less than a year, you will
- sink all the way to the ground when you sit on it !
-
- Plus I found that a lot of the items you can find cheaper at stores like
- Kmart, Ames, Walmart and the like.
-
- Let the Buyers Beware !! Don't Go For it as the original poster advised
- or you'll be sorry!
