The official site finally officially announced the IKEA Stuff pack even though most of us have known about it for awhile now thanks to several online stores having it for pre-order. At first I didn't like the idea of an IKEA pack since I'd never seen their stuff and just heard about it being really cheaply made furniture. But a lot of the objects actually look really nice. There's lots of cute deco and I love most of the couches and beds. The only thing I think is really tacky is that red heart pillow with the arms.

I liked Kitchen & Bath Stuff. It might have been somewhat lacking in objects (like only including one bathtub) but I really liked the clothes it came with. Plus that hairstyle for the guys is really nice.

What a coincidence. I was just at IKEA today. A lot of the objects look so familiar. I probably won't be buying this one though. I'm not that wowed by their picks for stuff to be made in game.

Wow! I have that light coloured wood bed!!! It's called 'Malm' but mine is in the beech veneer finish, i was mad because i planned on buying the matching furniture to it when i had more money but they discontinued that finish just after i bought the bed....arrrrrgh.....also my best friend has the round area rug, the red one.

Shortyboo, In your first post of this you said you heard about it being really cheaply made furniture (I'm sorry if thats not what you said, maybe i misread it.. but i think i read it correctly.. lol) IKEA is actually a really expensive furniture store.. I don't know why.. but their stuff isn't cheap most of the time, just saying. But as on subject, I'm def getting it.. i love furniture. My game would probably go 50x faster... but i have so much furniture lol.

I've always heard it's cheap (as in both affordable and cheaply made) and you have to put it together yourself. There isn't one around here, but my mom's been to one up north and she said the furniture isn't expensive at all.

I'd definitely be getting it for Christmas. I just bought Nightlife, Bon Voyage and Open for Business online, which I'll be getting soon. I'm so excited! The furniture looks so great, and one cannot do with enough furniture.

Ikea is pretty inexpensive in general, their small home furnishings are really cheap but they can have some expensive things too. My bed is from there and it was only $250!!
