For sure it does. It's the easiest way to get affordable yet good looking furniture on a budget.

Now you want quality you'll be paying more, but Ikea is king of good looking ****ty furniture that saves on labor costs.

Some of it is ****, but it's easy to get/put up (srsly it's not that hard), looks pretty good and actually lasts quite a long time. I have a ten year old Ikea bookcase in my living room, still full of books.

I spent like £1400 on furniture from IKEA when I first moved into my house. Ooops.

demik · « **Reply #46253 on:** Sat, 16 July 2016, 09:54:09 »

Yeah. My desk is five years old and while the clear coat is peeling, it's not that bad.

But I needed a legit bed. Hopefully it's worth the 1500 >.>

Would be nice to hear how that desoldering pump performs. Almost pulled the trigger on that before I red some not so flattering reviews of it. Ended up buying the soldapult instead.

I have it and it works well. The good thing about it is that due to the rubber tip, I can keep the soldering iron tip on the on the switch pin while placing the solder sucker above it. This keeps the solder melted while i operate the pump.
Cheers! Mind sharing from which site you ordered it from?

I ordered mine from Amazon. I picked up some wick too but for whatever reason it got sent in a separate order and it hasn't moved. So much for Prime 2 day shipping lol.

I should be giving the pump a test run this weekend if I have some free time, so I will let you know how it goes.

PS. That pump is nearly $10 cheaper on Adafruits site, although with shipping you only save about $4 so it's your call.
Thank you for the info!

Update: Super happy with this pump! Worked effortlessly. The only slight issue is that the tip gets plugged up after a few switches it seemed, but it was painless to use a paperclip or thumbtack like I used to clean it out.

De-soldered the Outemu Blues from my JellyComb and soldered in some Gateron Blacks this morning.

Cool, thank you for the feedback. Will order one tonight. I hate desoldering and will do that on a TKL board soon. So everything that makes the procedure easier makes me happier

Is that a stock board by any chance? If so then you should get extra solder because you'll need it when desoldering. Also if you plan on desoldering often maybe buy the replacement silicon tips from either stores:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BT4N0AM/url

mine got worn out from heat due contact with the iron tip and only have some pieces left.
