My daughter bought a ceiling light from Ikea,so I went up to fit it.
what absolute rubbish, naff plastic, a patent device to hold the wires,
hardly grips them. No way to fix the light securely to the ceiling. Why
ever did she buy from there, the cheapest pendant ceiling light from
elsewhere would be far better and easier to install, for the first time
in over 40 years of D-I-Y I gave ups. :-((

As a friend of mine likes to say, the best thing about Ikea is the
Swedish delicatessen at the entrance.

Curried herring highly recommended :-)


But not the cutlery! One Ikea - London one I think, but not Croydon, had
the most dreadful cutlery - filthy, sitting in wet trays. I complained
about that and made them bring me a freshly washed set.
