IKEA

This is agreat place for the person who wants to self assemble everything

DO IT YOURSELF PRICING, QUALITY ITEMS
A trip to IKEA is quite an experience. It takes 10 minutes to park and just enter the store alone, be prepared when navigating the crazy big parking garage.
I do not enjoy shopping here because you have to put everything together and it’s a crazy maze in here in the showroom areas and I just don’t care for the crowds.
Once the items are put together they are SOLID. Seriously, the Swedish quality is good and this isn’t run of the mill made in Vietnam/​China/​Malaysia junk.
Never have experienced the swedish meatballs that everyone raves about usually because I am in a hurry to get the hell out of dodge once we find what we need. Picked up a great looking patio set for about $ 100 and I’m sure it will last forever.

Like most IKEAs, one has to manuever through the crowds of pennypinching thrillseekers, me included, and risk losing kids and body parts for the sake of buying cheap but cute heavy particleboard and tacky plastic furniture. Is it worth it? I guess it is because I admit, I keep coming back. It’s like the anticipation of waiting for a roller coaster, it’s a long white-​knuckling journey to find parking and logistically track items, but once I’m on board it’s f – ing exciting and I want to go again and again for this cheap ride. While you may get out lucky alive and in one piece, your purchases may not have such luck. Occasionally, parts are missing or broken which means another test of patience while waiting awhile at the customer service kiosk. The free coffee for Ikea Family members (free membership) and other perks are a bonus.

I’ve been here several times this year and they are doing a terrible job of keeping their inventory up. They’ve been out of various items (a crib, for instance) for months. Their website says the item that is NOT in stock is «Most Likely in Stock» despite floor staff telling me they haven’t had it in months. If you want to call and talk to a human to check what’s actually in stock, you have to call an 888 number, listen to a 1:30 PSA about wall anchors, enter your zip code, hit 8, then 5, then hang out on hold for several minutes, while listening to the same wall anchor PSA over and over, before finding if the item you want is in stock. Fortunately, all of this take less time than driving all the way to Centennial, finding parking, taking shortcuts to the warehouse and checking for yourself, but only just barely…
Sorry Ikea, I like your products, but the annoying customer service and dicey inventory situation means it’s no longer worth the drive for destination shopping.

Buyer Beware. I dropped $ 11,000 on an IKEA kitchen. It arrived in 201 pieces. I’m renovating an entire kitchen and bathroom so it took my contractor a couple weeks to actually unpack the boxes & begin the cabinet install. The hood was missing. I called IKEA to notify them. They said they would attempt to locate but then emailed back to say I would have to purchase a new one. If I wasn’t one of those people who meditate, I would have been furious. I notified them they had delivered 2 cook tops. You only need one of those so after another lengthy email exchange they conceded to deliver the hood.
I have a great contractor but he promises to charge double from here on out on IKEA installs. My word of advice, if you do decide on IKEA for large projects, take the time to inventory each box at delivery. It’s painfully time consuming but may save you a lot of leg work in the end.

Pretty good food! We got a huge serving of chicken tenders. Chicken meatballs are pretty good, stuffed chicken pretty good. A la cart desserts are ok. Really shocked to see the big billboard advertising EAT FOR FREE! Just notice the stuck on disclaimer… Good for 5 whole days, in 2−½ months! Lol. Why bother advertising something if you have no intention of ever having to honor it (I’ll check if the dates change next time I’m in, lol.). Just a cheesy gimmick IKEA!

I love IKEA! We have honestly been here so many times since we moved that it’s ridiculous. They have everything you could want at a cheap price. You do get what you pay for though! We haven’t had any issues with anything that we have bought here! Whether it be for the office or for home.
Everything is assembled at home and I like putting together so it’s fun for me!
There’s not much else to say about IKEA. I’ve been to multiple IKEAs and this is one of the bigger ones! We’ve eaten here quite a bit as well. The meatballs are something everyone raves about and it’s pretty good. But once again, you get what you pay for! We’ve also had the chicken tenders with fries that are pretty good! We get free coffee with our Family Membership. Can’t complain about that!
Their cinnamon rolls are delicious! It’s no Cinnabon but it’s $ 1 and once you go in, you really can’t not have one. Make sure you get it fresh. The only reason I’ve given this IKEA 4 stars is because their ice cream cones have been subpar. We’ve gotten it maybe 3 times to give them chances and each time the cones are tiny and lopsided. Not anything like I’m used to!

Been to IKEA many times for different furniture. They do have a huge variety of home items. From kitchen to bathroom to kids or living room.
You start up stairs in the cafeteria area and it’s an entire showroom of room ideas and models. Then through furniture which has tags with numbers, sections, and bins on so you know which item your looking for when you go down to self service. Everything is organized by sections or room and the end is a big wear house.
I will say one thing is the employees have never asked me if I need help or if I’m finding everything alright. The best time to go is in the morning when it’s quiet and you can look without kids running into or getting trapped by carts.
At the end the lines are always so long and they took self check away so your forced to wait in a long line that takes a long time. The lines take forever but most things are a reasonable price.

What can you say about IKEA that hasn’t already been said? We’ve lived in 4 states in the last 5 years and have figured out that buying inexpensive furniture whenever possible and just leaving it behind for friends to use is so much easier and less frustrating than moving things and being bummed when they get damaged. With that being said, we’ve been to many IKEAs and they’re all essentially the same.
This location seems better capable of managing the volume of people. Even when parking looks quite busy, the floor doesn’t feel slammed — though I REALLY wish people would learn to not meander 3 wide in the middle of the aisles. We’ve come to walk through the showroom and also to just grab some small stuff downstairs (hint: you can go through the doors near the kids play area to get straight to the downstairs part without having to go through the whole showroom) and every time the only place that makes you realize it’s busy is the checkout lines. I’ve never seen more than 5 registers open, but they move pretty fast considering.
I’m hoping this was our last long distance move and that we can progress to buying nicer stuff from a place that delivers and that everything doesn’t come flat packed in a box, but if you’re still in the «disposable furniture» stage of life, embrace it and spend a day buying cheap shit, then head home with your person of choice and a 6 pack to put it all together and make your apartment look like a house.

I somehow survived 40 years in life without visiting an IKEA. But some girlfriends wanted to meet up and do some shopping and lunch, so I played along. I can see why I’ve avoided this place. It’s a neat concept — a store where you have to go through the entire thing before you can exit, cheap solutions for home decorating, and unappetizing «Swedish food.»
It was mildly entertaining. I didn’t buy a thing. Well, my husband said he refused to put anything together if I bought something, but nothing really appealed to my tastes. The furniture is very cheap; some of it looks really cheap, some of it is almost passable. Just not my thing.

I’m not sure what to say that hasn’t probably been said already. You know what you’re getting when you go to Ikea, but you can plan on plenty of other people having the same piece. Lest you not forgot the massive volume of people that will definitely be moseying around the store too…
My recommendation: go knowing what you’re looking for. You can easily get lost and overwhelmed. If you have pieces or items to add to your place, and you’ve got a strict budget, then IKEA is the place for you. There are tons of options, but the craftsmanship is lacking. On the way out of the store, you find the product you want to take home, pay for it, and take it home right away. How convenient is that?!
Personally, I’d rather shop elsewhere, but the price point is unbeatable. Perfect example: we moved into an apartment a few years ago and our beautiful, plush, overstuffed couch wouldn’t fit. Off to ikea we went. I still hate everything that couch stands for. Yes, I hold grudges. But the truth is, I couldn’t have gone to a «fancy» furniture store to buy my dream couch.
I’ve never eaten there. Can’t speak to the quality of food. But man, those cinnamon rolls sure smell delicious every time!

Came here to pickup some things for the condo that I recently moved in to with my friend.
We were hungry so we decided to go to the cafeteria. Cafeteria, it was, with the food trays, the cattle call lines! My feet were sticking to the ground near the condiment areas, due to the uncleaned spilled sodas. The area was a bit overwhelming and unorganized. I was surrounded by some aggressive Saturday Ikea shoppers that were being pushy at the lingonberry juice dispenser, boy was I wishing they had a tequila dispenser to calm my nerves. The great discovery though, if you mix ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ of the lingonberry juice and Sierra Mist, it’s fantastic! In my eat with my fiber-​filled meatballs, we ate the dry balls and continued on our way.
Ikea is Ikea, a human maze filled with things that you think would be cool to have, but when you get home, you’re like «where the hell am I going to put that?!»
The most atrocious thing here is the restroom, well the one near the cafeteria anyways. It reminds me of a run down gas station along our highways. The floors were dirty, some adults did not receive lessons on how to flush, this place made Wal-​Mart restrooms a four-​star establishment. I would recommend eating or doing antic before using the restrooms here, because you will not like Ikea as much if you do use it.

For the love of all that is holy, what is with the shopping carts?! I think IKEA thought they were great because they can go multiple directions, but when turning, you and your cart end up swerving into on-​coming traffic and display cases! I have seen it so many times and I chuckle a lot. It takes a lot of core strength to operate these carts. What was I doing? Oh yeah, writing a review on the store itself.
We love Ikea. Go there with a need and make sure it is not during weekend hours and you will feel like you got a deal. Less crowds during the week and easier to navigate. Here is a great tip: if you just want to shop and not view the showcase on the top floor, go past the escalator and go through the doors marked «marketplace». It will save you at least half an hour. Another tip: when you are retired and on a fixed income, or just broke, eat here. The food is awesome and very cheap. I usually get the salmon fillet or the Swedish meatballs with a salad and potatoes. My husband and I will retire and eat here every week to keep our savings intact.
Use the kiosks downstairs when you need to find an item in the warehouse. So helpful.
To summarize, IKEA is like Disney for me… avoid the crowded hours and know your way around to have a better experience. And you get to watch people have issues with their shopping carts, lol!

Well we came here because we needed to get some stuff for our place… And had to eat dinner… So why not stop by the Food Court then get some shopping done?
I was quite surprised that the food was actually pretty good! I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I mean I ordered a salmon filet, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a side of rice. I dunno why I didn’t order any veggies, but hey, this meal worked for me and I was satisfied. The rest of the family got: Mac n cheese with fries, pasta & marinara sauce, and hubby got ribs, fries, and a couple meatballs with the lingonberries. Happy kids and happy hubby. We all went on our way and did our shopping!
So it’s easy to keep adding things to your shopping cart… Fortunately we kept on task. What’s great about IKEA is what you see is what you get. Lots of cool ideas, as long as you got the money. We also love the «As-​Is» area. We got a much needed chair in that section at a discounted price! Score!!!
So, if you are needing to get some stuff for your place and need a bite to eat… IKEA is the place to go!

We live on the other side of town from this location but we try to have a plan of what we want or at least an idea. The prices range from $ -$$$$. You can pretty much get anything and everything for your living environment in this place. Its always busy and theres generally a wait to purchase your items.
We do like coming here if only we had more money lol.

Ah… Ikea… What can I say about Ikea that hasn’t been said before?
Nothing. So I will go ahead and repeat what everyone else has already said!
The draw of Ikea is, of course, affordable prices on the widest variety of home goods available behind a single store front. Yes, it is possible to furnish your entire home at Ikea. I mean, you probably shouldn’t, but you could.
That said, I buy a lot of stuff for my home here. The fact of the matter is, if you’re going to buy flat-​packed, some-​assembly-​required furniture, the best value will pretty much always come from Ikea. I feel like the service has been getting better, too. It’s easier to find someone on the sales floor lately.
The restaurant (okay, …cafeteria) also offers great value. The fact that you can get a salmon dinner here for the price and convenience of a fast food meal completely astounds me! Also, there’s something about Ikea’s mac and cheese that I just cannot resist. I always get a kids’ meal, which is mac and cheese with a side of steamed veggies: I can have my comfort food and pretend I’m being healthy, too!
Overall, I like this Ikea. I will be back soon!

What can I say, I LOVE IKEA! This at one point was the 2^nd largest IKEA in North America, now it’s apparently the 3^rd largest.
Here’s a helpful tip: If you want to save time by not getting lost or distracted in the «showroom» you can skip it and head right into the «market», by going in the doors near the childcare area.

My family calls me Mr IKEA. And rightfully so. Every piece of furniture with the exception of my bed and dresser came from IKEA. Not all from this location, but I can say I have bought my couch, 4 bar stools, a nightstand, my kitchen table (which is now my outdoor furniture), a coffee table, and my roommates bedset.
Wow, you must think, I am a complete nerd or whatever you want to call it. For one thing, I have had a bookcase from there for about 10 years, and the very desk I am using is about 8 years old, with out any signs of aging. Also, it seems that different styles end up going together anyway.
I only have the time to come here on the weekends unfortunately, but honestly, it is not as crowded as it is in Atlanta. I have yet to see the entire parking lot filled, with the businesses across the street being used as parking as well. Maybe one point in time it has, but I have not seen it. Has it been crowded? Yea, I have seen it a few times. But not to the point where you can’t even shop because you are too focused on not running over some mfer’s kids (that is why they have Smaland!).
I think for most, IKEA has to be an acquired taste, and not everyone will like it. Thankfully, I have that taste in me. It makes it easier when you understand the layout, understand the system and how it works, and understand that
is not the same as the store (and you cannot order online either!). If you need time to get yourself acquainted, get a catalog and read it over a glass of Mountain Dew laced with Lingonberry soda at the restaurant.
This place is great for dates too– you can easily spend an hour in the top floor, another hour in the Marketplace (downstairs), and another 20 – 30 minutes getting what you need in the warehouse, and checking out. For me, I spend on the average of at least 90 minutes here– getting ideas or getting new gadgets.
When starting off here, you have the option to drop your kids off at the free day care, Smaland. Take advantage of it– trust me. Furnishing a home is tough business, and you don’t need kids making it more difficult! If you do, make sure you don’t lose them!
After that, you head up the escalator, where you have the choice to eat some food (check it out at least once, there is surely something for everyone!) — or start off in the showroom. Here, you can get gobs of ideas. Then you have your mazes of furniture from A-​Z in quality from one time use to cherished family heirlooms (OK, maybe not that far, but close!). You will see bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, etc.
After all of that, is a custom closet area, shortly followed by the kids area. Trust me, I wish some of those kids beds were made for adults– I mean some of them are like tents– I mean c’mon!
After all of that, you proceed downstairs to the Marketplace– or housewares. You can pick up your kids from Smaland here before starting. They have everything you need from A-​Z, and its a college kids dream here. After the housewares, they have bedding, window treatments, and bath stuff– shortly followed by lighting and art work. Imagine a Linens N Things (bet you ain’t heard that name in a while! And yes, they are still in business online!!!) as the basement floor.
Assuming you still have some energy left, they save the warehouse for the very end. Make sure you wrote down all of your numbers and styles, because if you are not spot on, you may not be able to find what you are looking for! They have plenty of kiosks and a few employees around if you need help finding something.
Before checking out, they have a «as-​is» area that is always worth checking out– you may be able to find something at a steeply discounted price, with barely a scratch! As I said, it is always worth checking out.
Then the fun ends– it is time to check out. They have express lines and debit/​credit only lines as well to speed things up. Checking out usually takes about 5 – 10 minutes– so be patient.
Spent a lot of money? Why not and spend some more! They have cinnamon rolls for sale at the exit as well, that tease you while you are in line to check out. Pretty solid– solid in 1 and 6 packs.
I drive a Ford Fusion, and I am proud to say that even though it was painful, I was able to fit my roommates bedroom set in my car, along with both of us in it! I thought I was going to have to take a cab home, but we got creative. So yes, with creativity, you can be amazed the amount of shit you can fit in your car. If that is not the case, they also do delivery and installation as well.
My first time around– when I did all of this a year ago solo– I did that– and I tell you what– it was so worth the extra few bucks.
So yea, if you are ever up to it, I recommend IKEA if you just want to spend an afternoon gathering ideas, people watching from a couch, or redesigning your home– it is worth checking out! I hit my limit so that’s all I can drop on this review, I have so much more to add too :/

There aren’t many other places like an IKEA. Once you get past the unruly screaming children, foreigners who have no concept of personal space, and the couple who are fighting over which couch to buy, you are golden.
If you have never been to an IKEA, it is certainly an interesting experience. I remember my first time like it was yesterday. Everything they have is a little smaller (see: Euro-​sized) than what we Americans are used to, but it’s mostly all good quality and modular so that more than makes up for it. I won’t go into detail about describing the shopping & checkout process, because that’s an experience in itself. All you need to know is that there is a bunch of stuff there that you didn’t know you needed but you will realize it when you see it. IKEA veterans will know what I am talking about. They have everything from housewares to furniture… and this is the place to buy toilet brushes for your home if you have a big place. They are only $ 1.99. Believe me, expensive toilet brushes add up.
This IKEA is on par with many others I have been to. Their employees generally take pride in what they do and are very helpful. We’ve had to return things before and the customer service was excellent. If you have any questions, ask someone in a blue shirt and they will be more than happy to assist, even if you are just looking for a shortcut to get through the maze to the closest bathroom. Don’t ask me how I know that. Overall, if you need anything home related, this is your place. You won’t regret shopping here, unless you happen to come on a weekend or any time during the holidays.
Protip: Try to go on an off day/​hour to avoid the crowds; it makes for a much more pleasant IKEA experience.

Wow and Woo-​Hoo!
So impressed with this store! Last time I went to an IKEA was in the Canary Islands over 30 years ago and they still provide great stuff at very good prices!
Came in with Calina for the BYOF Event. We got free bags, free coffee, free breakfast, BOGO Frozen Yoghurt and we had to try the Swedish Meatballs in cream sauce with mashed potatoes, and a little bit of lingonberry sauce for sweetness. Yummy, Yummy for the taste and for the price.
Even though it was packed, the lines weren’t very long and the service is awesome.
The store is so clean and organized and they have thought of everything, from handrails for the kiddies, multi-​tray carts, cart escalators etc, etc.
You can spend all day in here and not get bored. After checking out, we stopped by at the Swedish Market and got some meatballs, lingonberry jam, cinnamon rolls and chocolates. You can even get hot dogs for 50 cents and the frozen yoghurt is $ 1.
We purchased some organizers at a very good price and I definitely will be coming back for more stuff soon!
Only drawback is the pain of having to assemble items or pay to have someone do it for you and make sure you bring your own plastic bags or bring the IKEA Monster Bag for your purchases.
Plenty of parking and free Wi-​Fi. Make sure to join the IKEA Family Rewards Program for additional savings!
