    IKEA makes some quality kitchen and bathroom fixtures

    Or at least they source them from somewhere. I am planning to buy a couple of bathroom sinks and possibly kitchen counter tops when I buy the new house.

    So does that mean I don't have to feel guilty about buying wood? Their sofas kind of suck anyway, and they really aren't that cheap considering how flimsy they are.
