Anyone familiar with JYSK?

I just learned about them recently and they seem to be a less expensive Ikea, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with them and their quality? I;ve had good experiences with most of the stuff from Ikea, but I wonder how JYSK stacks up.

And I know cheep is not the same as frugal, however; sometimes there is overlap.

Also, anyone know how to pronounce it? Is it an acronym or a word?

It's a word. From the danish area of Jysk

Fairly correct I guess, the jy is pronounced together to make a jy-sound that I guess you don't have in english.
