My husband agrees with you. He only goes on sufferance and because 'design' is very difficult to get in this area of Spain and is very expensive.

Dead right ........ I've been searching for a two door cabinet with a shelf in it preferably in rustic pine style for months now for a specific purpose, but have not found anything suitable anywhere

Hmm and probably never will in a Spanish shop.

However, try Michaels in Javea. Went in there once with a friend and was full of it.

Fair enough ....... and I'd just like to say that I hold nothing against the multi millionaire owner who spends all his days playing golf whilst some of his stores clearly have a few issues that they haven't addressed yet :lol:

I also ought to add that the wife has been piling on the pressure to go to Ikea Murcia now for years, and I just cant pluck up the courage

*I mean seriously stressful, dreadful, quite appalling, to be avoided at all costs. I'd rather have a root canal job with no anaesthetic than set foot in one of those blue torture chambers ever again. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to subject themselves to such a nasty experience.

And the names of the products "Jerker" desk, "Fukta" plant spray and "Fartfull" workbench - jeez - :blink:
