The Ikea in Rennes actually exists.
I went there this weekend.
Of course, I went with a very specific (and short) list of things I wanted (2).
Of course, I spent the double of what I had intended to and came home with items (5) that were not on my list.
On the upside, I'm very pleased with everything I bought.
On the downside, heavy dining room tables are best assembled in good (read: strong) company, not alone. I put it together without much difficulty, although I did realize that I need a new philips screwdriver, but turning it right side up was a huge (read: heavy) pain in the ass.

I have never in all my born days ever, ever left Ikea without buying more than I intended. Never ever.
Post a picture of the new dining table, please. Then we'll all be suitably impressed.
Lorraine - I know! They're the gods of impulse buying. Will take pix.
Yeah I want to see what the table looks like. Just looking through the catalog makes me certain I will spend a fortune there! It's thankfully not in India yet :)
One of my favorite toys is my electric screw driver - or power drill is what I think they call it - I purchased it after buying a heavy computer table about 15 years ago - took me hours and many advil to assemble
Haha, I thought the same thing myself when I drove by it in January - it was almost like a mirage - I was like "wait, is it actually here, after all this time??"
TID - I'm in Nantes today but I will take pictures when I get back.
Beth - I definitely need to get one of those.
Sam - Hi! I felt the same way. And for a saturday morning it wasn't too crowded with other urban myth truth seekers.
I just went there a couple of weeks ago myself and went in to buy a present for a friend and went out with a coffee table...go figure!
