Ouch if you have one that fails!
I was thinking of getting a plunger but not from Ikea, if this is the quality of design and manufacture. Is the Dublin Ikea doing OK?

A very old thread resurrected...

I have succesfully managed not to allow myself or my better half to enter the world of IKEA since the Dublin branch opened..don't know for how much longer though

Doing ok? It certainly is..

"Ikea’s Dublin store is the most profitable in Europe

Ikea, had a bumper first year in Ireland, recording sales of more than €2m a week at its Ballymun outlet and an €11.4m profit.
The ‘don’t move, improve’ mantra of many home owners has accounted for the weekly turnover that is the highest of all the Scandinavian giant’s European stores.

Its accounts show that for its first full year in Dublin, Ikea Ireland had revenues of €110.7m, compared with €15.6m in the previous financial year, when it traded for just 36 days after the outlet opened on July 27, 2009. More than 15,500 people visited the store in the weeks after it opened.

According to the directors’ report for 2010, Ikea was affected, like many other retailers in Ireland, by the slowdown in the economy. “We continue to invest in our prices in the long term and to improve the shopping standards for our customers, and believe we can further strengthen our position in the market as a value for money retailer during these difficult times,” it said."
