OK, back to the boom! This is another picture of Holiday Inn Santo Domingo's lobby from the front door.

Ikea will sell the crap that can not be sold or over stocked in USA down in DR. It will be like their outlet store. It will also be sold at the high retail prices found in DR

yes, xwill. exactly. it will be Eriliza's concept of "progress". because it comes from abroad..

Back from the Dead Dread? or just a vacation from DT?

Either way, welcome back!

Ikea's furniture is garbage. It may look modern but most is not long lasting and low quality. Also, the customs taxes will be built into the prices.

Ikea is what it is suppose to be and intends to be nothing else. It is, within the promotional-end category, a slightly better quality popular priced furniture. Believe me there are a lot worse options out there that are not worth a dime. Nevertheless, It is not meant to last, but rather a contemporary clean design for a lower price, a good value for the money.

The word "contemporary" means exactly that: "what is currently modern" as opposed to traditional and classical. Classic furniture basically means that regardless of age or appearance it looks timelessly fashionable, no matter the year built or when it was made. Besides, there is no sense to construct "contemporary" furniture to last long time, when it is precisely the style that will make it look dated within 5 to 10 year period and nevermind, the added costs required to make a better quality product.

guller,
what good is any furniture if you can't throw your special lady on top of it and make her feel good without the furniture breaking?

GOOD POINT!!!!
