No - it was in an East Coast (US)store which went out of business a few
years ago. They had a very good kitchenware department.

I've been to the IKEA nearish us exactly once. Unfortunately, hubby
was with me. I had a few items in hand that were just impulse buys,
he saw the long lines at the checkout stand and wanted to leave *now*.
I've never been back, but what the heck? That steel is a great price,
I'll go. Thanks.
