Things like furniture and luxurious things dont come naturaly to the average college student. Sence the invention of Ikea, college students everywhere have been able to furnish their appartments and dorms across the world. <br /> I have to admit that I was extatic when I first steped inside of Ikea, Everything was cheep, affordable, and stylish! I could finaly afford to furnish my appartment. I bought about $2000 worth of furniture, kitchen wear, matress, couch, rugs, everything to make my place look good. <br /> Needless to say everything lasted about 6 months. The legs on the kitchen table started to come off, the rugs would not stop pilling, the matress became hard and lumpy. Huge disaster, I never went back and dont plan on it. The best way to waste your money is to shop at Ikea.</p> Being a college student consists of going to class, finding food to eat, trying to make money and getting it to last as long as you can.

But if it cots too much, they'll have a hard time to get rid of the old staff. I think Ikea appeals to this type of customers, who like modem style, so so quality, and cheap price. Ikea is so popular in China right now that you can often find their future at some celebrities' homes on TV and magazine.</p> Some people are easy to become tired of things that they own, so they buy new staff more often than “normal” people.
