I think the meatballs are decent, but then again I'm part Swedish. Mmm, lingonberry jam. I also still have some pieces from them because I might live in another apartment or two before I buy a place, and there's something to be said for the hex-key-flat-pack furniture when moving.

Five years ago I made a couple trips to the store outside of Chicago. It was a fun shopping experience, but I didn't spend more than a few bucks each time. Their furniture is crap, and their knick-knacks are too trendy for me. I prefer more classic and durable furnishings. Never been an Ikea fan.

There's a store in Seattle, and I've known people who have driven from Portland just to shop there. It's always been a mystery to me, though. No longer. Apparently there's an IKEA store coming to Portland this fall or next spring or sometime soon. I'll take a look at it once or twice, but I don't know if it's the kind of thing that'll appeal to me...
