			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: postbit_external -->
<div>I'm new, and I'm trying to find a picture of the BONDE series entertainment center. It was on page 81 or 82 of the 2004 catalogue. Does anyone have that catalogue? Could you scan in those pages?<br />
<br />
I've just moved and got rid of the catalogues in the move as I was downsizing. Unfortunately, I need a picture of that entertainment center as it appeared in the catalogue in 2004. It had the 3-shelf hanging bridging shelf that connected two single tower BONDE bookcases on either side. And the lower three or four shelves of the BONDE tower bookshelves had a glass hinged door mounted on their fronts. Hmm, and they also had three lights screwed into the top of the completed entertainment center.  I used the system for years as a wrap around for my twin bed in the guest bedroom, and later used it for my 52&quot; flatscreen--both of which fit perfectly between the two towers.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help in advance.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />
<br />
Daniel</div>

<div>I went to IKEA today to buy a sofa. I went today as the web site offered delivery for £10.00 (as opposed to 35)to IKEA family card holders. I paid for my sofa at 2pm to be told you can only have the offer if you come back at 6pm!!! The customer service girl said i do not know or care what the web site says come back at 6pm. Needless to say i feel as though they have misrepresented the offer on the web site (not too sure this is legal for one - enticing people in-store with misleading adverts ). I called the store Gateshead to be told the manager Clare Rodgers does not speak to people on the phone during the day - really good service. I have emailed her but do not hold out any hope of a reply. Needless to say i will never shop in IKEA again and will tell everyone i know what a bad service they offer. What a terrible place with awful ignorant and rude staff.</div>

<div>Hello,<br />
I am trying to estimate the number of boxes that my kitchen will be because I need this to estimate the delivery charge.  I know that there will be some difference depending on what type of cabinet it is, but does anyone have some general numbers to help me ballpark it?<br />
 <br />
Here's the details that I need it on:<br />
Base cabinet with 3 drawers<br />
Pantry high cabinet with 5 drawers and 2 doors<br />
Upper wall cabinet wth shelves and 1 door<br />

I wouldn't mind buying a few more cover panel screws, either.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: postbit_external -->
<div>The closest ikea to my new home (Buffalo) is in Canada roughly 70 miles away,  I am wondering if I can return or exchange products to that store despite the fact I bought them in Long Island.  I am worried about damaged items in which an exchange would be fine.  I realize there may a problem with Canadian taxes (which are exorbinant to say the least)   but considering the US product is the exact same as the Canadian products would there really be an issue?  I would understand if I was dealing with wildly different markets i.e. UAE or a European country but Canada's line seems exactly the same.</div>

<div>Right now Ikea is offering free pickup of your old mattress if you have a new one delivered.  But what about free drop off and disposal of your old mattress if you bring it with?  We came home to cat pee on my daughter's bed :yikes:.  The comforter and whatnot got most of the damage but I fear the mattress may be a goner (it's an Ikea foam mattress so if I can cram the cover into our washer I'll try washing it but I fear the worst).  We're w/in 20 minutes of Ikea so I'd never bother to have a mattress delivered--but have NO use for a peed upon mattress! <br />
<br />
Has anyone ever &quot;recycled&quot; their mattress at Ikea? :)</div>
