The best item was the computer desk called the "Jerker".

If I loved cheap furniture as much as I love cheap tools, I would probably dig Ikea much more. Until Ikea tops that 2 ton aluminum racing jack I bought for $30, I don't think I will be going crazy for their products. I agree though, I like the smaller items at ikea are much more worth looking at.

Donkey_Kong:
We took a trip to Ikea recently. I felt like a rat in a maze the whole time I was in that store. It's like one way traffic only and you go round and round and there is no getting out until you have reached 'the end'. The fricken' shopping cart wheels all swivel, so it's like a drunk cart pushing free for all.

Do not get the Sweedish 'mystery meatballs', unless you like the frozen food section microwave style dinner. They give you a lot of them, though.

The pillow selection is out of this world, hundreds to choose from! It's the only thing I bought other than the meatballs.  

Le Chuck:
We have ikea furniture in the kid's playroom.  Lots of shelving and Lack tables.  Other than that it doesn't exist elsewhere in our home but for the kids it's great because if they destroy the whole room we're out like 200 bucks for all the furniture combined.  Not too shabby.

When we go I'm always taken aback by the food prices, when I only pay $7 to feed a family of four I become very concerned with what kind of garbage I just fed my family.   

As we just moved from Germany this last year my wife and all her friends are always talking about how much the US ikeas are better than the Europe ones because they don't feel as trapped because the aisles (paths) are wider in the US ones... to accomodate our giant American asses I'm sure. 

As for the cab in the link I'm not a fan.  I think Tom_G got a much better look and feel in a similar design vein with his execution of a Coffee Table.  If you're going to ikea-ize a cab his is the golden standard.

I think the trick with the breakfast (I've never wanted to try dinner) is that the portions are really rather small.  They just give you a little of everything so you feel like you are eating a lot.
