IKEA . . . not a good IDEA!

I LOVE IKEA and Mike and I were so excited to head off their last week to work on planning our new Ikea kitchen! Well, that turned out to be nothing but a GONG SHOW . . . the computer kept shutting down . . . it wouldnt accept our measurements and when we asked for help the lady LITERALLY said she wouldnt help us. We go down to tell a manager about our frustrations with the system and staff . . . and his response was not much better, he said "well if we helped everyone who was here to "dream" about a kitchen we wouldn't get anything else done". Mike was steamed, I was just like "whatever"!! Albiet, neither one of us was feeling very computer savy on that thing, but we just needed a little direction and help, come on people . . . so now, Mike is still steamed and I am just sad. Bye Bye Ikea Kitchen . . . but, HELLO very very helpful lady from Home Depot that we met with on Friday . . . thank you Katrine, you have rekindled our hope for our reno's and our faith in the home reno retail business!!

PS. the SMILING faces in this Ikea ad are NOT the people that served us!!!
