'My foray into furniture hell.'
And then, when I glanced at my pile of records and cassette tapes on the floor, I realized I needed a bookcase. And wine glasses. And maybe a console.
Like many cheap, aesthetically driven 20-somethings, I moved into my first “real” apartment with nothing but thrifted tchotchkes and a bare mattress. Just like my horoscope suggests, I’m a class act Libra: all of the bells and whistles, none of the bare essentials. Which is exactly how I wound up at the Emeryville Ikea on a Saturday morning — hungry, tired and reluctantly searching for a bed frame. But much to my surprise, it was uncharacteristically quiet for a weekend at 11 a.m.
Atonal organ music was playing on the speaker system; families were lazily pushing metal shopping carts across the showroom floor. Just ahead, I saw a sign that said something about product shortages, but because I’m smart, I ignored it. After all, it’s common knowledge that we’ve been having “.” Even when I went to pick up a couple of Lack shelves — and quickly found out that none were left — I still didn’t think twice about it.
So far, I managed to buy a sold-out Melltorp dining table from a guy in a minivan and have been lurking the Ikea website daily in search of bookcases and wine glasses .
