Topic	Do you know what Ikea is? (Without Googling, obviously)
rogerskg1979 12/16/18 12:26:34 PM #16:	Chewster posted... Not that I think IKEA furniture is really nice quality or anything, but do people really think it's "cheap"? Cause it's still pretty damn expensive if you ask me. Maybe that's just all furniture, but fuck that noise. I have some stuff from IKEA but the rest is from the thrift store, talk about huge savings. I should clarify, like yeah I have seen and know there is way more expensive furniture, but people act like IKEA is like the bottom tier of new furniture pricing, which is distressing if true since it's still like 20 to 50x more expensive than the thrift store It's not fair to compare thrift store prices since almost everything at a thrift store is used. So you're comparing used prices to new prices, and that's not fair. When comparing strictly new prices, IKEA is definitely among the cheapest out there. It makes sense too because IKEA uses particle boards instead of real wood, and the construction just isn't as good. Real wood and quality construction is going to cost more no matter what. <cite>rogerskg1979 posted [p:914217533] in Do you kno...
