Yes, and the horrendous returns policy at Linens 'N Things is one major reason that they didn't survive IMHO. They required you to return things to the same store where you bought them and then they issued you a refund 'gift' card that was then only good at the one store. They also would not take anything back without a receipt (I thought we were in the electronic age now). Talk about not very customer friendly!I can't speak for Wal-Mart, Target, etc. but I did learn that the now-defunct Linens N Things would not let you return used bedding. It's along the same lines as returning a mattress - there are some people who see it as a sanitary issue, or maybe even something like bedbugs. It doesn't really surprise me that IKEA wouldn't take it back.
All things considered, I love IKEA.
