Jeff68: IKEA substandard? As someone who has been using IKEA products for over 30 years, this is the first time I'm hearing that. 2 Likes |

dongc: I understand you perfectly sir. You don't want to commit huge resources into a market which is largely unregulated. Looking at the picture shared, Lasisi will tell me "Oga, let's use the same packaging as the one that people buy more on our product." The next thing, you'll start seeing "Ikia Kitchen" or "Ikear Kitchen" or "Ike A Furnitures" or "Ike Anobi..." ![]() ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

diordaves: I simply love the uniqueness and ease of assembly of their products. They’ll be perfect for Nigeria in my opinion especially their kitchen cabinets, uniquely styled utensils and contemporary lighting devices. Are there better products? Of course, but that doesn’t make iKea bad. An S class Mercedes Benz vehicle is not bad just because a Maybach is better. 2 Likes |

topsy23: With this historic forex rate almost everything is expected to rise in price. Sometimes I wonder how an average Nigerians earning naira are able to build houses this era. It's still a constant for those building with hard currency though. Dollar go up, price of product go up, no wahala.[b][/b] 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: Absolutely! I can't put it better. The functionality to very specific problems is what does IKEA for my family. I followed your looking for the right solution to your bathroom. With IKEA, you will find the right sophisticated solution to that space easily. Lady Ennine was crying that her furniture will not go through her door. Just visit IKEA. From bathroom clocks to cooking utensils down to Swedish breakfast IKEA got you covered. 1 Like |

Nero2424: I’m no economist but having money just sitting in the back with dismal interest rates is unappealing. I’m simply betting that I’m save more by buying now rather that later versus interest, Now, I only play with just a slice of my portfolio in Nigeria so I can take these gambles. There are notable people on here that I watch and learn from. The day that Spyder880 showed his stock room full of supplies is when the light came on in my head. Wire doesn’t deteriorate, price goes up, I’ll use wires, so I buy even when I don’t need them. 1mm almost doubled in prices from when I got into Nigeria real estate game. |

Jeff68: Of course is your experience and preference. But Haverty's and IKEA are in a different market segment. Our Prime Minister Boris Johnson when he got into office, he met IKEA furnishings done by the former Prime Minister Theresa May. His then girl friend wasn't a fan of IKEA, so they cleared out the IKEA furnishings and replaced everything with John Lewis furnishings from borrowed funds. He got into trouble. Not only because he had to borrow funds from anonymous sources but also from those who swear by IKEA. So yes. Some people can't do IKEA mostly because of the self assembly but not because IKEA is substandard. That's not my experience of over the years. 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: Nice one Sir, do you know I still have rolls of binding wires I bought for N5,200 still in my stock till today? I still have some high quality cables bought for a third of what they are selling for in today's market, I can afford to charge lower on some jobs because I have old stock. That's better than any kind of savings. 8 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: Another benefit of a store like iKea in Nigeria is the dependent business that it’ll encourage. Shipping and delivery: Companies will spring up that’ll deliver products to homes. Cost will be low since they’ll be able to carry more goods due to flat packaging. Installation: One will be able to setup as an installer. I actually ran an outfit like this in Dallas for a while. Concierge: Since what you ordered is EXACTLY what you’ll get (no ordering 36” and getting 31” nonsense) it makes it easier to have a 3rd party design, buy, deliver and assemble cabinets. No ambiguity. NONE. Thanks for attending my TedTalk ![]() 4 Likes |
