As everyone in New York City, or at least Red Hook, knows, IKEA has opened up a new showroom/warehouse. It is kinda isolated as far as visibility and train service, however is across the East River from Manhattan. IKEA is really the designers dream when it comes to products and furniture. Items, as well as the store are laid out in a user friendly aesthetic and mock and “Modernize Modern Furniture.” The only problem is that once you buy something designed by IKEA, it is a race against time towards product endlife. Has anyone had anything from IKEA last more that 3 years? Well cant complain, actually had this spatula that I got there a few years ago and it is holding up very well. The pan I got with it has since been retired though. Check out this great new view of the Statue of Liberty from Sunset Park…
