  Man Stabbed in Ikea Opening Chaos
  
  Safety fears forced the store to shut 30 minutes after it opened
  
  A man was stabbed and several people hurt in the crush as a crowd of thousands forced a flagship Ikea superstore to close on its opening night.
  
  Cars were abandoned on the roadside and customers were crushed in the chaos which ensued after the furniture store in north London launched at midnight.
  
  The new outlet in Edmonton, the biggest Ikea in England, was due to trade for a full 24 hours, but shut up shop within around half an hour after an "unforeseen volume of customers'' descended in the early hours.
  
  A spokeswoman said it was decided to close for the safety of customers and staff, and the store would remain shut until further notice.
  
  "Ikea Edmonton regrets to announce that a decision has been taken to close the store on opening night.
  
  "The decision was made in the interests of health and safety for all Ikea customers and co-workers,'' she said.
  
  So who wants to go shopping at IKEA?

  There's a department in the local IKEA which sells second hand furniture and items with defects at a discount.

  Don't worry you can buy normal products WITH defects at NORMAL price. My parents bought 5 wooden chairs for our bar-top counter and 3 of them are either defective or have shoddy-workmanship. Barely less than 2 months after we bought them, the supports connecting the four legs fall out.
