IKEA is the place to be if you want to pick up anything you could dream of for your home at a decent price.
The Ballymun store is packed full of any kind of furniture for any kind of room.
And this is the same in pretty much every branch of the Swedish outlet, including in the UK.
Which makes one woman's story all the more embarrassing.
After visiting IKEA's store in Warrington, Cheshire last week, Tiana Lowe was convinced she'd scored an amazing bargain in the form of a £1 baking tray.
However, when she went to put her new product to good use, she realised her impulse buy wasn't all she'd hoped.
The 24-year-old loaded the tray with eight potato cakes and popped them into the oven, but instead of being greeted with the scent of freshly baked goods, she was hit with the stench of burning plastic.
It turned out she hadn't purchased a baking tray, but instead a plastic serving tray, which had melted all over the inside of her oven.
Opening her oven door, Tiana, from Westhoughton, Greater Manchester, was met with a cloud of smoke and a molten mess of melted plastic, dripping from the shelf.
Photos show off the damage caused, with one image revealing the underside of the tray reduced to just eight potato cake-shaped plastic imprints, leaving her with a mess and a stinking kitchen that took two hours to clean.
She later took to IKEA's Facebook page to sarcastically thank them for "making serving trays look like baking trays".
However, her post unfortunately backfired when users mocked her and warned her not to "buy a chocolate teapot".
Despite this, one look at the Swedish company's site reveals that Tiana wasn't the only one to have made the blunder with the trays as two other disgruntled buyers gave the product a one-star review after they also melted in the oven.
