batman Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I just went to Ikea for mine. Closest one was an hour and a half away but it was worth it--love that place, and it's really fun to walk through if you've never been there before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylerrr Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 If you're going to spend that much in gas anyway it probably isn't worth the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I just went to my nearest store. Its about 20 minutes away. Managed to get there, find it in the bin, put it on the cart myself and do a self-checkout ($76, out the door) put it in my car myself and bring it back home all in about 50 minutes. Was a good time. You're probably better off going to the nearest location if its not more than an hour away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Also, as a side note, IKEA uses a flat rate shipping so if you decide to pony up the shipping costs, you might as well go all out and get anything you may need for the foreseeable future.
