Ok, the truth is that i love IKEA BUT i don't love everything... One of the things that i love about IKEA is that you can change products the way you want, or you can use them in different ways.
I can understand that it's a big international corporation and they care only about money and not about your wallet....But that doesn't excuse their strategy...
What i mean....
Every year around August they release their new catalogue, with many new products, new prices and also sometimes they remove some of the old products...
Like for example the Benjamin stool, which was a perfect DIY product.
I wanted to buy a carpet-rug for the new house and of course my first choice was IKEA.
I looked the site and then i decided to look for DIY rug projects and then i found IT a wonderful DIY rug!
I was so excited, and in love with the project.
BUT after i tried to find the product with no luck i was angry and disappointed.... They had remove the rug BUT they add a new rug exactly the same with the DIY rug!
And then i got furious about the price....
The DIY rug was the Ikea Erslev rug 20$ (i couldn't find the price in gbp sorry)
And i'm thinking "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?", "ARE THEY SERIOUS?'...

But NO, they had to remove it...
But still i can understand that, they have to change their catalogue...
Fashion is changing so they have to change too, and add more modern and contemporary products...
But i got really angry when i saw what they did and i'll explain...I wanted to buy a carpet-rug for the new house and of course my first choice was IKEA.

So the above rug isn't available anymore but instead you can buy the new IKEA Stockholm rug
for 160£ only.
So yeah i'm still angry about that rug, i'm not going to buy any rug from IKEA....
They take advantage of us and from our money...
That's why i don't like IKEA so much, yes, they have beautiful and cheap product (i'm not going to say anything about quality) but their strategy still disgusts me....
