22 Reasons Why IKEA Is The Best
Cool Bananas

Ikea has taken the world by storm through its spunky designs and practical products! Here are 22 reasons why Ikea is literally the best!


1. You can never miss it.

What other store is in a massive blue and yellow building?

2. The food is as good as the furniture.

Seriously, the meatballs are heavenly!

3. They create serious "house goals."

Who else can put a bedroom, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and living room in 391 square feet?

4. There is endless amounts of stuff.

You'll always find what you need, and you will always find what you don't need.

5. Everything is reasonably priced!

Why yes, I do need 30 candles for $2.99.

6. All of their products are on Pinterest.

"Jane Doe created a new board, Ikea Home Makeover."

7. It will turn you into a complete DIY king/queen.

Be careful! It can become addicting!

8. Everything is self-service.

Yes, you have to get it from the shelf. Yes, you have to assemble it when you get home.

9. All products come with easy instructions for assembly.

No words! Just pictures!

10. Transporting everything is no biggie.

Everything is packed into flat boxes to make packing your trunk a breeze!

11. You can test everything!

DO NOT TOUCH DISPLAYS! Ikea wants you to touch, sit, and even nap on the displays!

12. They are always changing the layout of the store.

The walls even move!

13. If you ever get lost, just follow the arrows on the main walkway.

Turn right in 6.5 feet.

14. There is a reason the walkway is never straight for very long.

There is a sharp turn every 50 feet to make sure you never get bored.

15. If you do get bored, just watch other customers.

No matter where you are, there are always couples arguing.

16. Every product has the most unique name.

Different product categories are named after Swedish names, towns, or islands. This system was devised by Ikea's creator, who was dyslexic and had trouble memorizing product numbers.

17. The bathrooms are always spotless!

You won't want to sprinkle when you tinkle...

18. It is family oriented.

They even have a free daycare!

19. You can play an epic game of hide-and-seek.

Ready or not, here I come!

20. It is the Disney World of furniture.

Welcome to the happiest place on Earth!

21. They care about the environment.

All of Ikea's products only use 1 percent of the world's commercial wood supply. Some stores even have gardens planted on the roof to help heat and cool the building more efficiently!

22. There is something for everyone!

Yes, you too!

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
