Right there: that’s a room in hell to me. Going to Ikea (or any store) to line up and wait for the doors to open for a sale. On my list of ways to voluntarily spend time, that’s at or near the bottom.
I’m glad they have stuff that’s useful to you at prices you like. For me, the inconvenience of the place (since i don’t live in the suburbs) is a great big strike before we even get to my issues with what’s inside. And personally, I just don’t like about 75% of what I see inside, and the 25% is almost never worth the schlep. And those rare times it really is worth it, you’d never catch me there on a weekend or on the first day of a big sale.
On this one, IMHO you are, um, not doing it right. If you shop estate sales, church bazaars, thrift shops and the like you can find all kinds of excellent frames for peanuts. By the time you are considering spending $90, the only question is whether you like the original art in the frame.
