I posted something but Kirstie had already posted it and then i remembered something I was meant to do but hadn't done...

apparently they're redeveloping their stores. I dunno, I never bought anything from them on account of how it was all wildly overpriced.

I think they are out of business. friend of mine had probs with a couch he bought there.

we bought two of their 1 euro cups of coffee where you get to keep the mug

not sure if it was worth the journey.


and ikea may not be bad news for dublin, but its certainly bad news for my wallet!! ho ho! jings

From my recent furniture buying I reckon it's an easy enough business. You don't have any real selling to do, you just display the stuff. If someone likes it, you get the factory to deliver it to them. Once you know which factories are around and get a good distributor, you basically make your cut by having floor space.

Incidentally could I recommend the Dublin Furniture Centre on capel St. I got a (solid oak - yummy) table and chairs from them - they delivered it pronto and when there were tiny probs with a couple of chairs, they took them back on the basis of our word alone and ordered replacements immediately. best customer service experience I've had in the whole house hunting thing.

so that should set me back a grand or so. But Ray and Charles Eames, how I love your ways.

No, I just like mid-period modernist furniture. I'm not a big fan of scandi-minimalist or a lot of wood. And I am extremely specific about my likes and dislikes.

I would gladly give away the rights to my first born for a complete set of these:
