I just love it. I have no idea why I love it so much, and I know I'm caving in to the whole yuppie-psuedo-retro lifestyle by buying all my furniture there but I don't care... it's still pretty.

We have one in Seattle and are getting another somewhere else in the state. I cannot stand being in them. They are too overwhelming for my sense of calmness and I hate HATE how they are organized. They force you to walk through the entire store, only to need something in the last 20 feet of the 10 mile long trek.
I just saw a huge one in Prague today. there are two more here in germany where I live, and there were two in the sf bay area where I came from. I like some of their stuff, but its most super cheap shit. looks like it will fall apart before YOU put it together.
