IKEA Review

If your moving into your first place or new apartment and need some good sturdy furniture to last you while you're still paying off your mortgage, moving fees, closing fees, etc., then IKEA is perfect.  While their furniture may not be the most appeasing to the eye, when put together with other pieces, and dressed up with furnishings from places like Home Goods and Marshalls, you can almost make your space look like it is straight out of the catalog.  For the longest, I wanted two lounge chairs in my space but could not afford spending nearly $300 a piece at places like Target or overstock.com.  After seeing an ad from IKEA advertising their Tullsta chair for $99 I immediately went there and picked up 2.  The slip covers were too expensive @ $50 each, so I bought 2 throws for $10 ea and went to Home Goods to buy some really nice pillows and voila... they looked fantastic.
