This morning we went to the huge IKEA in Coquitlam. It is almost across the street from the Canadian Superstore, the location where we buy our groceries. I think we last visited the year it opened. That was 2002.
Is Jay running to find a way out?
Shopping for home furnishings surely isn't a frequent diversion for us.
Today, we found the queues were fairly short and we got inside after waiting for about five minutes.
I went to see if the TV stand (or bench as IKEA calls them) had shelves large enough for our receiver and center speaker. I knew from online sleuthing that the overall dimensions were perfect, but I was too unsure to buy without physical confirmation. It seems as though I should have checked the equipment rather than the existing unit because I wasn't absolutely sure, even in the middle of IKEA's showroom maze. I put off the purchase.
The enormity of the place is a bit overwhelming. Even though we had a few more things to check, Jay panicked and clearly was looking to find an exit. We slithered towards the door picking up only a table lamp.
We are about twenty years late in getting rid of this ugly, old lamp in our living room.
