Didn’t get a sofa.
So the couch/loveseat we wanted was gone. The man at Ikea said it might not show up until at least March. Screw that. We panicked, decided we didn’t like the other couches and did not have the room for the rest of them or could not afford them. Decided to get some chairs. Settled on two of these, one of these, some new pillows, blankets and a new rug. A new computer desk and other goodies. The Salvation Army is not picking our couch up until Friday, and we won’t be home until Tuesday night anyway. Our apartment is always cozy, no matter what state (as in MA, IL, MD) it is in. It always smells like incense and coffee and on the best dinner days, like my famous chili.

I really like Ikea furniture (I have the Ektorp series in my living room) but I don’t know about those chairs. I think I’d feel sort of like a cobra sitting in those.
When I lived on Long Island, I got to shop in one of the first Ikeas in the USA. This was back when they didn’t have North American size bedding. You were usually grateful for the little tent cards on top of the furniture because it was like being in an avant-garde art gallery. “Coffee table? That would have been my fourth guess.”
