| - This place is amazing. I love that there is a show room. I've even taken out of town guests here and they had a blast.
I seldom walk through the showroom anymore, not because it isn't cool looking at the furniture and little lives that you can see in the rooms that are created, but it just takes forever when you just want to pick up some new guest towels.
this is my $500 store. I always spent around that when I go, best intentions are thrown out the window. I can't help myself.
I read some of the other reviews. I'm always a little blown away at complaints for a contract that someone signs or complaints about delivery times, if you KNOW the time table, then be there.
I've gotten a broken dresser and bed side table from IKEA before, it was a pain wrestling the already open boxes into the car and then into the store, but the 90 minute wait to be seen was a bit of a stretch, its like they were working in the returns department at a snails pace. But they were good about replacing the broken pieces.
I also really prefer to go during the week, during normal business hours. This place is a MAD HOUSE on the weekend, I'm not a huge fan of "touching crowds" (where you don't have room to maneuver without touching people or constantly excusing yourself) and this happens to often on the weekends at IKEA. It won't stop me, but it is a preference.
Its cool that they have a cafe, for breakfast or lunch and you can drop your potty trained kids off at the little IKEA kid spot (I don't know what they call it) for a couple of hours while you shop. (Mine are to big for this now but I most certainly have used this option in the past.) There is also a snack stand near check out and a little food store area with imports. I always get several bags of meatballs and gravy as well as multiple 6 packs of the AMAZING cinnamon buns that they have there!
Don't pass up cinnamon rolls! You can buy just one if you want!
