I apologise for being confusing.  I think it's great for the little
stuff, just not the furniture.  I buy kitchen utensils there.  I would
never buy their furniture, except maybe some of the sectional shelves. 
Everything is particle board, poorly fitted joints, not even an attempt
to hide screws - even on $600 dressers...  It seemed, when I was there,
that you're paying almost premium prices for trendy styles with poor
construction.  But, a wooden spoon is a wooden spoon, whether you pay $1
for it at IKEA or $3 for it at a mall kitchen specialty store.  The
"housewares" stuff they sell isn't their schtick - it's all extras to
compliment the furniture suites they want to sell you.

But, that's just my opinion... you're welcome to disagree ;)
