I have allergies and needed a good vacuum. Costco had the vacuum and at a good price. Costco is great in general. My one quibble would be the fact that they do not take VISA.

I needed a slim, stylish, lightweight, multi-shelved workstation desk and chair to work on my laptop for my one-bedroom apartment. I went to Ikea and immediately the Fredrik stood out. The desk has a reasonable amount of space for my laptop, papers, and other various things. The two shelves hold my printer, external hard-drive, cable modem, iPod dock, adapters, and desklamp. The shelves are above eye level, so out of the way. The table can be customized at assembly-time, i.e., difference shelf and desk heights (difficult after the fact). So think about ergonomics and the relative height of the desk and chair (in particular the armrests). The cable holder is good for holding my computer and power cabling out of the way, but could be a little wider to hold more, less cramped. The chair is reasonably comfortable. I like that the back conforms to your body and is vented/breathable.

And fits with my colour scheme. -johnny
