: Hi,

: I recently  received an IKEA catalogue, and was looking at all the spiffy 
: stuff.  The question is, how cheesy is the lower-priced stuff?  

It's okay.  If you don't have much money to spend you're better of spending
it at Ikea than somewhere else.  On the other hand, Conran's is much nicer,
more stylish, *generally* better constructed.  Ikea is also frustrating
because about 1/2 of what's advertised in the catalogues isn't immediately
available and must be ordered.  

It was interesting going to Ikea in London and seeing the same furniture
I didn't like in their Potomac Mills store!

Cheers,

-Robert
