I think an obsession is forming. First off, it's so nice to be done with work at noon, run a few errands and make it home to Dave. I love summer school (and the fact that it will soon be over). We decided we should spend the afternoon at IKEA. He said it, but I was thinking it...we're so alike it's scary. We spent about three hours wandering around the showroom, sitting on the furniture, knocking on the tables, feeling the textiles, and carefully examining all items under $10...which is a lot. We are returning on Thursday or Friday to pick up our new loveseat. We are (and by that I mean I am) undecided on exactly which one to get. The KLIPPAN is cheaper but the EKTORP is more comfy. What do you think? Any suggestions?After completing the top floor, we had a bite to eat at the cafe and then wandered downstairs for a while. I wish I would have thought of IKEA...it's such a good idea. Huh huh...seriously though, lots of people spend all day there and continuously pick up these little items that are inexpensive but add up to hundreds of dollars. It's like Target on a larger scale. In my IKEA though, I would keep Mountain Dew in my Pepsi fountain machine.

Klippan looks better to me. Ektorp looks old ladyish, almost exactly what my Grandparents have.
get the comfy one
well, i think the real question is: "which one will taste better to hudson?"
wait, these are couches, not dog chew toys.
i would always take comfort over style, but in this case, the style of the klippan is much cooler. if you can stand that godawful floral pattern, go with the comfy one.
Its not so much a matter of style over comfort. Its a matter of price over comfort. Neither of them is uncomfortable. But the Ektorp is the more comfortable of the 2. The question is is is is the extra comfort worth nearly twice the money?
Another nice thing is we dont have to get that floral pattern. All these couches come in about 64 different slipcovers. The Klippans covers are machine washable and the Ektorps are dry clean only.
Idemo dk. blue, ektorp...
IKEA is such a wonderful little store.
Yeah...when I inserted the link, I had a better color chosen, but IKEA does what it wants.
I prefer comfort over style too...but the thought of getting a sofa for $250 keeps pulling me back. I just don't know what will happen.
You should get samples to have the dogs taste test
clever girl. how dumb of me to think there would only be one color/pattern choice.
in that case, my vote goes for klippan vimle green. mostly because of the way it sounds, but also because i like the retro.
and i second the "dog taste test." it's the only way to be sure that hudsy picks the klippan vimle green.
happy birthday!
Happy Happy Birthday!
Which couch did you choose?
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
