I have an Ikea chair named ``Poem''. Most comfortable chair I've ever
slept -- er, sat -- in :-). When I tried it in the store, I just said
``aahhhhh...'', and had to take one home. Still like it very much,
several years later.  The fabric's fraying on the front edge just a
bit, but that could be from the cats.


I have some other Ikea stuff. It isn't generally ``fine furniture'',
but it is well built and quite affordable. Better quality IMHO than
comparable stuff from -- say -- the Door Store.


I live in Washington (bang bang!) DC. The one in Potomac Mills is
about 30-40 minutes south.  I've gone to the one North of B'more from
work here (Greenbelt) and that took longer than 40 minutes.
