Hooray! The new IKEA Catalogue is here!

Am I the only one who has the feeling bigdice67 works for Ikea?;-)

We got two armchairs and a sofa a couple of weeks ago.

Don't ask me about the price - but included are 10 years guarantee on the cover and 25 on the upholstery/wooden parts.

I bet you paid top euros on that stuff, Walter. There aren't many manufacturers that will give you that kind of guarantees. As a matter of fact, I can only think of 2, or perhaps 3. And they're all top of the line in design, comfort, durability, and-- price...

Hooray! The new IKEA Catalogue is here!

Thousands of shoppers drawn by a voucher offer rushed into an IKEA branch in western Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, causing a stampede that killed three and injured 17, security officials said.

A Saudi and a Pakistani were among those killed, the officials said. The nationality of the third person killed was not given.

After furniture giant IKEA's branch in the Red Sea port city of Jidda announced that it was offering credit vouchers to the first 250 clients Wednesday, some shoppers camped outside Tuesday night. Once the doors opened, the crowd surged forward, causing the stampede.

Ameen Jamal, a senior executive for IKEA Saudi Arabia, said more than 8,000 people had gathered outside the store prior to the opening. He didn't have other details.

You get them in any IKEA-store in any country (AUS$ 5.95, served with lingonberries. Add your choice of chips or vegetables :wink: )

With lingonberries you say? Hmmmmm! You don't usually see lingonberries here.
