Ikea: Threat or Menace

cherylmorgan and I went to the Ikea store in East Palo Alto today. Believe it or not, I have never been in Ikea before. I can certainly see the attraction, especially if you want to get more organized with reasonably priced, functional, and (to my eyes) attractive furniture.

( We managed to escape without having spent any money -- for now. )

More thought is required before we actually buy anything. And also considerable thought to how we'll get the pieces home if we do buy something. We could pull out the middle seat of my van (the rear seat is already in storage), but wrestling that thing into the apartment -- even though we're on the ground floor -- would be a massive hassle.
