We've got some Ikea stuff (a set of bookshelves and the units that hold the A/V stuff in the living room). Both are nice and solid. In fact, the furniture itself is pretty good. Problem is that the shopping experience is so oppressive and overwhelming that personally I wouldn't want to go in there voluntarily.

Down in the south-west, we don't have any brances (although one has been rumoured for Plympton), allowing the region's local equivalent, Trago Mills to maintain supremacy. Trago is a bit like Ikea, although it tries to sell everything (not just furniture and meatballs), caters rather more to the janner element and has a rather more fundamentalist political philosophy.
