Ikea Occasional Chairs

Have you every bought IKEA furniture? | Sauder Office Furniture ...

I’ve been buying from IKEA for quite a number of years now. All 3 of my teens have bedroom sets from there, my couch and ottoman are from there, 2 cabinets and a host of other decorative items. IKEA is just like any other store (or almost). Sure, they have some cheapo stuff. But they have some very nice stuff too. They are one of the greatest places for redoing a kitchen.

I too, don’t mind putting things together so IKEA is great for me, because I can bring it home myself.

Yeah… go for it. Enjoy!

Well, I know my family has plenty of IKEA things in our house not only the furniture but some lights and other things from there. So far, it’s held up VERY well. It’s not only great quality, but it generally tends to look nice for very long times. You do have to build it yourself, but if you follow the directions, they really are nice pieces of furniture. Also, they have good light sets and the occasional cute little knick knack like night lights or stuffed animals or plates or other small things. I am a big fan of IKEA You want to go into the store and make sure it’s really what you’re looking for for different light changes, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for affordable and quality furniture.

Pet Peeves: Big Hair

By Mark D. Crantz

Laguna Beach.  Another perfect day in Paradise, but oh no, there’s big hair.  According to friends (yes I have two and I pay them dearly to maintain that status), “Steel Magnolias” is a terrific show now playing at the Laguna Beach Playhouse.  I’m afraid I’ll have to take their word for it because I’m too afraid to see it. It’s another neurosis of mine, so pull up your barber chair, sweep your hair behind the ears and listen up to a hair-raising tale. It’s worth a listen to because you’ll learn nothing, but you do get a lollipop at the end for reading this without moving your lips.  Do you need a booster chair?

My therapist, Dr. Arnie Paypal, advises me that, if I want to get to the root of my hair problem, I’ll have to pay him in advance. He recommends that I take out a second mortgage, so he can pay off his first mortgage, finalize his divorce from wife number three, and make wife number four happy with a new house on the right side of PCH.  He says that I shouldn’t think that his happiness depends on me. That would be highly unethical.  His problems and my problems are separate issues and must remain that way to assure that he adheres to crazy-high mental health association standards that nobody in his profession can live up to with four, five, or six wives in tow. Notwithstanding, appearances must be maintained.  So before I can begin, he introduces me to Benny Bagmein, his physician associate, who handles front office arrangements.  ccording to new Obamacare guidelines, Bagmein will provide a cursory physical exam and demonstrate the importance of kneecaps and how that body part sets in motion the need to pay for the sessions in non-sequenced numbered Canadian bills.  Bagmein explains to me that the Canadians’ obsession with polite-ness, sets them apart from other sovereign nations that just take your deposits and never say thank you, whereas the Canadian loon is a fowl that flies straight and is never afoul of the law like so many other banking birdbrains.  Bagmein riding shotgun and I conclude the financial arrangements with a quick trip to Toronto, where I withdraw $9,999,999,999 and purchase a new couch from Ikea as an incentive to Dr. Paypal to get to the bottom of my big hair fear, as well as, cushion my bottom for what appears to be a long ride to my mental well being.
