As a homeowner, I have fallen foul to IKEA's generic style on many an occasion.
Seems they do have some originality though after all:

I love the production on this site, but small pipes - beware.
And before you start bitchin' at me, i know this site has been live for a while now...

Let me be the first to say, and I don't mean to offend anyone by saying this, 99% of IKEA furniture is total CRAP as in RUBBISH or GARBAGE.
Imported Chinese plastic GARBAGE.
Rather look elsewhere.

ikea has been around for years. everything i've bought there still works today.

ikea sells me 3' x5' tempered glass for $20
anyone else do that?

1% of IKEA is ok, yeah their glass products and rugs not too shabby. Furniture, man it broke every time in my 20's. Time to move on..

well you'd be an idiot to deck your whole house out in ikea. I'd never by a bed or a sofa from them.
shelving, bedside table, rugs, lamps, utensils, their all good if you ask me. never had a problem with them.

yeah you got me there.
I stand corrected.

They sell some crap but they have some goodies too...
I still have things from there that are 8 years old- nothing wrong with them...
yeah I got what I paid for- cheap and stlyish and still kickin.

actually, I forgot, buying some of those cheap tables, you can cut the legs off of it and hang them as wall units or avant installations. ha

bedside tables are a b*tch, they are expensive and hard to find good ones. One thing I've learned over the years.
it's just a matter of time before someone starts imitating these: http://ww2.westelm.com/cat/pip.c…

most of the design is not bland... its just cheaply made garbage.

I've always liked this table.
And this new little temporary bedside table I bought isn't bad. But, the bed is crap.
