    That's exactly what I was thinking. This thread has nothing to do with woodworking or power tools but rather, it's about the quality of Ikea furniture.

    I think I'll start a thread here on who you like better...Ginger or Mary Ann. I could mention the Bamboo huts to make it woodworking related.

    and yes, I know that Bamboo is a grass and not a wood...

    Hey Cody, That all depends on how you look at it and what product. You can get Bamboo flooring ya know.

    Now to keep the thread on topic....Ikea? Never bought any and I don't like buying furniture from "furniture stores" any way. Too much "stuff" in the stores that I highly classify as "junk". I had a furniture shop owner try to sell me a "solid cherry" bedroom suit.....until I proved to him that it was a cherry veneer on top of particleboard......then the tune changed to "well it's solid cherry veneer." Nuff said.
    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.
    A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.

    You've got to be kidding. Mary Ann of course.

    But the reason this is woodworking related came up just today. I'd been sketching out a plan for a platform bed with a friend of the family. I'd build it, she'd paint it and pay for materials. We came up with an idea she liked, then I priced the lumber and it came to about $160. She then told me that she could get exactly what she wanted, already painted at Ikea for $180.

    The tools connection is that I want to hit something with a hammer at this point.
