My wife and I went to Ikea last night. We had to bring back a broken light bulb and my wife wanted to purchase those cube organizing things. Don't know exactly what they're called but it's basically a piece of furniture with 4, 6 or 8 cubes that can be used to display picture frames or store magazines, etc. She wanted one to be able to organize her teaching materials.
Anyway, we arrived at the maze, umm, I mean Ikea around 7:50 p.m. For those of you who've been to Ikea know that you must follow the path to reach the exit. The path leads you through all the rooms of a house. Living room, bed room, kitchen, office, etc. Well, this syrategy worked on us pretty damn well last night. As we were walking through the living room area, we spotted a coffee table. It was a simple, off white table. Some might say it was a little too simple but we both liked it. The size was perfect as well. Then we saw the price. It was $39.99! We couldn't believe the price. Sure, it's not the best built or fanciest coffee table on the market but it suits our needs pretty well and for the price you seriously can't wrong. Did we really do an impulse buy for a coffee table? That's definitely not our style especially not for furniture. Impulse buying, for me at least, makes me very uncomfortable. However, for that coffee table, I was confident. I'm not sure if it was the price or the fact that I knew that I could bring it back if we didn't like it but I felt fine about it.
Both of us were excited to see it mounted so we decided to set it up as soon as we got home even though it was close to 10 p.m. The mounting was extremely easy and took about 20 minutes or so. Once done, we flipped it over and we both realized the size was even more perfect than we thought. I think it looks great and for the price, it looks fantastic. I hope the pictures below give you an idea of how it looks. It actually looks much better in person.
