Today was just like any other day… for the past week, or year, or so. We went furniture scouting. Scouting over, yet again. I don't know just how many furniture stores can there be left in the King county. Hopefully not many. Don't take me wrong, some of them are fun but the ones we saw today were a little sucky. And let's face it how big a difference can there really be between their chair and their chair? I'm gonna chew on them both without discrimination...
But to our exciting day... first store we saw had the famous lion-leg-furniture fetish, the second one was kind-a trendy but the chairs had price stickers for 4k or so, the third one was my favorite. It was owned and operated by a skinny Indian guy who obviously missed the 80s era and tried to compensate for his loss with tons and tons of highly polished furniture and huge butt-ugly sofas. And the last one? It looked so bad from the outside, we didn't even dare going in.
Overall, let my just say: Lords of Cobol - bless Ikea. Their furniture may be crappy, but at least they make good meatballs. And you learn a lot Swedish curse words while you're at it (seriously, what else would all these Detolfs, Ektorps, and Besta Enoms stand for?).
