What is the point of offering a home delivery service, if you exclude items from home delivery?
We are trying to buy a couple of cheap armchairs for the conservatory. Nothing fancy, just cantilever arms chairs, wooden frame etc. à la IKEA Poäng series. We want them in red as the nearest match for the colour scheme in there.
But IKEA won’t deliver them. They used to deliver them. We have a pair in black that I bought back in our Athenaeum Club days. Even disassembled, they are too bulky to fetch from the store on public transport, so that’s that.
We looked at alternatives in the same price range, but everywhere else, they are either out of stock or available in pale colours that would be impossible to keep clean, so we are back to square one.
I hate being on a limited budget. Maybe we'll have to contemplate bean bags, God help us...
