ASAIC, Ikea has its uses. While I don't for a minute fall into the category
of "yuppie", I do have a few Ikea products in my house and on my deck.

7 foot "Billy" shelves (yes thats what they're called) in a cherry finish
for my downstairs living room that has 18 feet ceilings, steelware for my
deck, candles at 6 bucks a box of 50, napkins, plant pots, plant stands,
plant shelves, plants, wrapping paper with crowns all over them, really cool
Christmas stuff (not the tacky Wal-Mart schlock), etc.

If integrated with other things you can actually hide the Ikeaness of it.
And I, for one, don't go there unless I have a zero balance on the credit
card and lots of cash..its dangerous in there!
