I've already gone twice to IKEA in the last week I've been here. And managed to spend quite a bit of $$ while there, so whether I am saving money by shopping there is up for grabs, but I do think that overall I spend less than what I would have at other places.
You'd think that all the IKEA stores have the same stuff, right? Well, it turns out that they don't! I actually couldn't return something I had bought at the East Palo Alto store at the Berkeley branch for that very reason. And just as an FYI, the returns/exchanges/help staff at BOTH locations are super nice.
I was trying out some chairs, specifically some recliing chairs. This one that was super comfy was supposed to be a recliner. (This photo is take 2. My original effort to recline the chair was much more involved and less funny on my part).
As you can tell, it doesn't recline so much. This must have been a defective one.
And while I was spending some money, I decided to get my sister to sepnd some to. They had this really nice sideboard in the as-is section (never forget to check out this section, you can get some really great finds here!) that I tried to convince my sister she needed. What do you think?
Should she have gotten it? Check out the poll!!!
On the way back from Berkeley, I tried to take a picture of city and this was my first shot:
Hmm, methinks my sister needs some new windhield wipers.
Once the flash was off and I found a clear little spot to take pics through the window, this is what I got. Pretty!
