Biggest “Sale” sign ever

by Hassan S. Ali // January 19, 2009 at 4:55 pm

Those damn Swedes are at it again!

Seriously, I could see this sign from miles away on my requisite IKEA trip for Lingonberry Juice and a new Bjursta.

If you’re going to the Bolingbrook, IL store anytime soon, bring sunglasses (or a visor).

Anyway, the purported “sale” is a complete waste of time. Other than a considerable markdown on floor tiles (sweet! floor tiles!), the other stuff was unimpressive and disappointing for the nominal price cut. Might as well just spring for the regularly priced, albeit still relatively cheap, good shit.

Plus, I checked out the “New Arrivals” section, and about 70% of the pieces were either coat racks, shoe-holder shelves, or hat racks. Come on, IKEA!

Verdict re: Sale and New Arrivals: Not worth it
