I waited long enough for the hype to die down and headed to Ikea on a recent Monday evening with my boyfriend. I recently moved in with him and needed a reasonably priced dresser to put in my closet.
We found a few options and are pleased with the selection. It was actually his frist time at Ikea, so we walked the entire store. We ended up buying a ton of stuff, including a large rug, new flatwear, etc. We spent about 2 hours in the store!
Helpful tips: they don't have bags, so bring reusable or purchase one at the register.
The store still gets quite crowded, so avoid it on the weekends.
