If something is described as “as is,” your opinion is honestly not that high. Is it in generally good condition? Should I splurge and buy it at full price?
Listen, there’s nothing wrong with buying used or new items. In fact, you’re better off spending your money in IKEA’s “As Is” section.
It’s one of the best used shopping catalogs you’ll find online, with tons of furniture and decorating tips you’ll love. Think of it as: Pinterest renovation on a budget.
