Their return policy and customer service is a bit wacked. When I got home and opened a rug I purchased there found it very dingy and stained. Just nasty. Maybe it was a return from a previous customer or the folks at the warehouse used it to wipe their feet. Who knows. When I tried to return it they claimed they do not return stained items insinuating that since I didn't return it immediately I did it. Every manager I spoke with said their quality control prevents this from happening so it must have been me. Nice. Sell your customers crap and call them a liar. Truly a no-service store. You are on your own. I can't see myself ever going there again and I loved the store. I couldn't wait for it to open here. Wasted energy. Buy with caution.

It seems that the twist and lock screws constantly untwist and the drawers and dresser falls almost completely apart. Looks nice, but be careful with the big heavy furniture.

Trying to get answers from customer service is like trying to get compasion from the Tax Collector. The quality, well, lets just say that Chinese products are cheap not inexpensive. Unfortunately, it would seem that Chinese workers have neither the wage motivation nor ethical inclination to produce high quality products. Japan flooded (and won) the market with inexpensive electronics and cars in the decades past WWII but we are all aware of the high quality intrinsic to Japanese goods. It's funny that IKEA poses as an environmentally friendly company... If their products were more durable (high quality) rather than disposable (crappy) it wouldn't be filling-up so many dumpsters and landfills. Don't get me wrong, imaginative design and ingenuity are not missing from IKEA products, good craftsmanship is.

TRIVIA: IKEA is and accronym from the founders name, house name and village or Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd (IKEA). Interstingly enough, OIKIA (pronounced ee-KEEH-ah) is the formal noun for home or house in Greek. Tore;
