I went to the huge (!!) IKEA in White Marsh almost exactly a year ago,
after I'd moved into a new dorm room.  A couple friends and I went just
to get "a couple of things" and we ended up spending about 4 hours there,
buying hundreds of dollars worth of stuff to make the aprtment more
livable.

All of the stuff we bought was cheap, as you pointed out, but I think it
was all of consistently good quality.  All the stuff we bought (except for
the 6 foot majesty fern, anyway) is still in perfect shape and we're still
using it.

They sell a lot more than just furniture, too -- when I was there, in
addition to the fern, I also bought a set of drinking glasses, flatware,
2 potato peelers, oven mitts, dish rags, a spaghetti spoon, a set of
plates and bowls, a pillow, and a stuffed cat.
