Wooo! Ikea, the chain of Swedish furniture warehouse stores, is inexpensive, and huge. I went looking for a piece of furniture for my printer small enough to meet my needs--which no other store had--and not only did Ikea have what I was looking for, but for the money I was expecting to pay for the one piece of furniture, I got the piece, two very nice and badly needed TV trays, some great plates and bowls, a kitchen grater, a vacuum flask and some wine glasses. Oh, and some excellent children's blocks, which were too cool to pass up. But of course, Ikea is yet another store ideal for an Internet storefront and lacks one.

Lake Effect mentioned Ikea last Friday, I notice...
IKEA fever has hit the SF Bay area. Brig talked about going yesterday (she hated it because of the awful crowds at the new one here), and I am headed over there myself in just a few minutes. I'm hoping a weekday will have manageable crowds. We shall see.
