Spinoff: Where is the worst place you got some furnmiture from?

For me it was from IKEA I bought a couch after throuwing a 3000.00 one out. Not like I can afford to do that but the kids destroyed it. And there was no way to repair it so we got rid of it and bought a cheap one from IKEA. We know it is cheap but my son stood up (didnt jump) and it broke which is a little crazy if you ask me.

Yeah, I'm not too thrilled with there stuff either.

The table I use as my desk is holding up okay, but the little rolling drawer unit that I put under it had problems from the get go & we kinda had to glue it together, but it has held up since.

What I mostly hate is trying to put them together. We have a bunch of those damn 'Billy' bookcases at work, and some of them are kinda warped. Moisture will do that to pressboard.

I did buy something that was real unfisnished pine from there, that I really like. They don't have much of that though.

anything Ikea that is pressboard. After two moves our 2 entertainment centers and a computer desk died.
But we have the Hemnes and leksvik stuff in the bedroom and living room, and thats pretty sturdy since its real wood.

ROOMS UNLIMITED!!!!!-112-Medford

The furniture is ok but their service is HORRIBLE!! They are EXTREMELY rude. I am not the only one who has complained about them and I went on the BBB and there are tons of complaints also

IKEA!!!!!!!

We ordered a shelf unit. The box showed shelves. Finally, after 3 weeks of it half assembled, we got usable shelves.

The first time it came without shelves. Then 2 UPS deliveries came damaged. Then D(stressed-out)H finally ripped someone a new one. They called a messenger service and delivered them.

NEVER AGAIN
