wow, I didn't even catch that! and I think TULLSTA (I love how everything at Ikea is "yelled") looks nicer. You could even get a couple slipcovers and still be spending less!
Keith Knight just did a very clever page on IKEA. He shows himself, on his wedding day, picking up the phone and hearing a disembodied voice with a Swedish accent saying "Seven days .. " A week later, his new wife says, "Let's go to IKEA, I'm tired of sitting on milk crates!"
They go, and he discovers, as have men throughout the years, that it's not so bad because you can buy large amounts of meatballs for cheap, plus you can make fun of the weird product names.
that sounds pretty funny (because it's true! ha ha). The product names really are the best. JERKER is our favorite right now I think. That can entertain you for whole minutes after hitting the office dept. And I like to say POÄNG as if it was a really loud sound effect for a giant spring. "po-WANGGGGGGG! po-WANGGGGGGG!"

I think it's just a rip off, but a WAY expensive one. That TULLSTA chair at Target is $90 more than at Ikea. Yikes!
