Ikea madness!

Finally my hubby got his *beloved* stools from Ikea SZ. He has put lots of effort in getting them! ;p

Ever since we have our new house, me and hubby been shopping for furniture, researching for prices and patterns. We, especially hubby, are impressed by Ikea's.

Hubby spotted this foldable stool sometime ago in Ikea SZ. We both love the design very much because it can be treated as side table as well as stool. Besides, it's foldable, can save the keeping space when is not using. We thought to buy in Ikea Malaysia during our Sept trip back. But we couldn't find any. Hubby decided to buy it in Ikea SZ and bring back to Malaysia.

However, when we went there 2 weeks ago, it was out of stock. The staff told us that there won't be any new stock. As for the display items, he is not sure when its going to be placed at the disposal area for sale. Hubby was very upset. For that, he been searching online from buy on behalf service, hopefully they can get any from other Ikea in China. But, it seems all of them (Ikea Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou...) is out of stock.

Last week, hubby suggests we go to Ikea again to check whether the display items are available for sale. Luckily, i agreed to go, they are there. We bought 2 actually because there are only 3 of them when we buy, we got 2 and a lady got 1. But when we are having our snacks after the payment, hubby saw other customers bought the same stools. Besides, theirs seem to be in better condition (display item always has minor defects). So, hubby go to check out at the disposal area again. This time he took another one. End up, we bought 3 altogether. *Crazy rite?*

I was so shocked when i saw hubby carrying the 3rd one. I thought 2 is enough and we have to bring them back to Malaysia. Besides, it's quite heavy. Well, my darling hubby just couldn't bear to leave the 3rd one.

Anyway, shopping in Ikea (no matter SZ or KL) is really a pleasure. If wasn't because of transport problems, we would have bought as much furniture we need there.
