The best I can say about IKEA furniture is that it is DISPOSABLE furniture. It's not quality and you should not expect to move it from place to place.
It's cheap crap, and it will fall apart.
However, I did buy a $1,000 leather sofa there about 8 years ago and it has held up fine. The rest of the stuff...yeah, in the trash. |

You could also try going to Big Lots. They sell Ashley furniture for not much more than Ikea's stuff.

If the couch is called "Baksore" it may be uncomfortable.
I bought a lamp once form IKEA, it was called "Lit" |

IKEA furniture items are expensive. It costs over $500.

Does this Ikea couch come in a 1-foot by 4-foot box? Go to Value City.

I went to Ikea wwhen it first opened -- I really did not understand the appeal. I bought 8 of the little wooden artist figures and put them on the bookshelves
in the living room because they amuse me.

Many years ago I slept on a friend's Ikea futon and had back pain for days after.
The cookies they sell there are good though. |

Every person who has ever even slowed down while driving past an IKEA store deserves to have their reproductive organs ripped from their bodies with a set of
rusty, grease-encrusted barbecue tongs.
There really isn't much more to say than that. Don't bother debating me on the topic. It is my personal opinion and debating such things is against the TOU. Kimbob the Final |

Tres, if you aren't concerned about the look of your living room, maybe put a single bed in there for the dogs. After considering two pricey dog beds for
my dogs, I just went with a single bed for them. It's great to lay in the bed with the dogs sometimes to watch DVDs.

I once helped someone set up their bed or dresser or some such IKEA crap and it was such crap quality crap that I've never even considered getting any of
their crap.

One time I went to IKEA when one of my legs was hurting me a little bit and I had to walk the entire store to get out. It was miles. The bastards make you walk
past everything. It was up, down, and sideways. I thought I was going to pass out. I became so irritated and tired. It didn't seem to end. When I finally
got to the end where hundreds of people were purchasing their crap I vowed to never go to that jungle again.
