I agree with you there...it is great, transportable
furniture perfect for transient urbanites...when they
first started building Ikea here I was in an apartment
myself, and couldn't wait for it to open. By the time
it opened I had bought a house and am now working on
investment furniture that i will have around for a
while, so I don't find as much. I heard they are
EXPANDING the Schaumburg store, which seems just
ridiculous considering it's the largest one in North
America.
