for about $1000

For about a grand at Ikea, you can buy:
  • Mysinge couch in Indigo Brown ($400)
  • Poang armchair with matching footrest in Natural White and Birch finish ($120)
  • Mikael computer desk, with glass top and matching CPU stand in Birch finish ($100)
  • Norden solid wood dining table, in Birch finish with 4 Herman chairs ($160)
  • Bankesta coffee table with pull out side drawers in Birch finish ($100)
  • Billy 7ft. tall bookcase in Birch finish ($80)
  • Matching set of furniture so that my new apartment doen't look like I bought everything from disparate garage sales (priceless)
I can't believe I actually bought mactching furniture for my apartment for $1k. Now for the fun part: assembling everything with pictoral instructions that are ridiculously difficult to understand. Time to take out the power tools.
