| One of the surprising thigns about living in Sweden is the limited variety of goods available! I figured that because it's part of the EU, we'd have much more access to thigns w/o the high import costs. How wrong I was!Back home, I can easily buy furniture from literally anywhere, even buy them custom-made and not have to go to a fancy store to get it. That's not possible here! I've been to different furniture stores and they literally sell the same thing - just at different prices. I have been waiting for the 3 largest furniture stores to get new leather couches for 2 years now -- and still nothing ;(Sure Sweden is known for their furniture design, but it's very modern simplistic, which isn't my style. Plus places like BoConcept are a little too pricey for me anyway. Because of this, I love going to antique stores! That's where I get antique chairs and corner tables - basically anything with real, nice wood. For our everyday furniture, we buy from Ikea, EM.com and a local store called Ulfasa.se. |
