Ikea Praha – Zličín

Did you know that Ikea has brought out their brand of condoms? It comes with instructions on how to make wood :-) So many jokes can be found on internet about this brand. It´s understandable. They are everywhere, popular and their meatballs are the best after Kentucky derby. OK, and now seriously.
You may like Ikea or not but the fact is that it´s one of the best solutions for people who don´t have enough money to buy proper or fancy furniture or house equipment. Or they have just temporary place to live and they don´t wanna buy some longterm furniture and accessories.
There are two Ikeas in Prague. I prefer this one. Why? It´s easy. I get there faster than to Černý Most and to be honest, I don´t see such a difference between two of these. I used Ikea mostly in the time when I was student and shortly after that. Tables, chairs, bed, cabinets, everything Ikea. And it wasn´t bad. OK, quality of design wont be never fancy but it holded together. And for that price? Perfect.
I like their glasses for wines or drinks generally and plates. When you do a big party for 30 – 35 people, these items are ideal. To break these is not the same as to break that antique plates from your grandma :-)
I also never forget to stop at that shop by the cash desks to buy some köttbular.
So all and all I like Ikea. I just recommend to go there from Monday to Thursday when it´s not so crowded. And also if you are able to ignore that not really kind service in Ikea restaurant so it´s a good place for a quick lunch.

I have mixed feelings about this place. I mean it is easier for me to get to in someways than Cerny Most, but I just don’t like it as much, I don’t know why. I mean, after all, it is Ikea. They are all pretty much the same. Yet for some reason, if given the choice I will pick Cerny Most.
Anyway, the staff are nice enough, always willing to find someone to help me, despite my lack of Czech. The café is also pretty good, but not as well set up as the one at C.M.
But it is Ikea so what am I really complaining about.
