Bob,
Ikea is cheap and the stuff they sell looks good. I agree local shops need supporting but that shouldn’t be to the detriment of the consumer, I want choice and am not in a position where I could afford to kit out a house using the stores you mentioned. I’ve been to Ikea in Edinburgh more than once, having one up here would save the likes of me with a limited budget the journey.
Primark is also cheap and on the racks their stuff looks good. Problem is like IKEA their product has a relatively short “wearing” life. There is much truth in the saying”Buy cheap buy dear”
