What 'unnecessaries' do you accumulate when you visit IKEA?

@JimboSaturn
Hehe I stand guilty of doing the same.

@CookieCrumbs I knew it! Hurry up, I want some meatballs :P

Always 😉@CookieCrumbs

@Lacemaker i had a huge stash of candle holders that i had to give away. And kitchen stuff too. It's obscene

@Jenny1234
Lol, I know. What were we thinking of at the time? 🤔😝

@Lacemaker I know right!

@JimboSaturn
And endless coffee!

@JimboSaturn I’ve only stopped at the restaurant once in all the times I’ve been there. I thought it was good but I don’t remember what I ate

@Jenny1234 That's my favourite part lol

@Lacemaker it’s cheap stuff but I think I’m fascinated with how they run the store and the fact that it has a restaurant I guess.

@Keepitsimple Yes, it's a one-off. It made someone a billionaire anyway 💰💰💰

@Lacemaker for sure..it’s something different that nobody has bothered to copy.

@Lacemaker I have one close by,but I just pretend it's not there 🙈🙈🤣

@LadyJ How d'you explain away that huge blue and yellow box on the horizon?? 💙💛💙

@Lacemaker I look away and think nice things 🤣🤣

@OldBrit
I do the same thing. I check the website to get the aisle-bin number.

But- I enjoy looking around. 😁

@OldBrit
I'm impressed! 🥇

@bugeye Very tempting! 🤣

@wildbill83 Yup...IKEA is crap

@TexChik You're missing out on so much stuff....you don't actually need, lol

@Lacemaker Hahahaha. I have so much furniture! My mentor left me her estate and the furniture alone has filled 4 houses. This stuff came fully assembled ! 🤣

@TexChik Oh wow! That's lucky. No need for flat-pack then 👍🏻

@GJOFJ3 Maybe it's just a [i]woman thing[/i] then.
It's like being in a candy store....you can't resist!

@Lacemaker

I do not think the one in the box is broken. I am just lazy.

The bubby one needs new pads. The leathery covering (not sure if is is real leather) is bad. I suspect the only fix is just to replace them. The metal and plastic parts are fine. The broken one has good pads just bad plastic parts. Those would need replacing. The metal parts are fine, though.

My new one has no pads to bubble.

@JoyfulSilence 🤪
You've lost me.... in the Battle of the Chairs 🤣

@Lacemaker

The first two look like this:


Except the first one has a lot of the black covering of the pads peeled off. Once it bubbled I peeled it off like sunburned skin! The second one is broken in the back rear of the armrests (before I said the top. I was mistaken).

I do not have a photo of the new one since I do not even recall what it looks like and am too lazy to get up now and look at the box.

@SW-User Cheapskate! 🤭

@Lacemaker only thing worth getting from there
the rest is tat haha

@SW-User That makes no difference to me 😩

@SooperSarah You're missing out!

@Lacemaker that's what I keep hearing lol

@SooperSarah You've probably saved a lot of money though!

@nedkelly You're lucky!

@Stillwaiting You saved a lot of dosh

@SW-User I've got one or two or six of them 😄

@Degbeme Renamed by many!
