Some people have a knack for online shopping. I do not. I love some of the items in Ikea, but it's one of those stores that I need to actually be in because some of their stuff is great and looks more expensive then it is and other stuff just looks cheap. If you can tell which products you will be okay with or are not that picky, then you'll be fine, shop away. I on the other hand need to go in the store and it's not that close to my house :( I just had to return several items (although I kept a few as well) because they weren't up to par with what I wanted. It's not really Ikeas fault though so I gave them 3 stars.
