| - I cannot say enough about Ikea. We have been through so many "milestones" with them. I furnished my first apartment with mostly Ikea furniture, my husband did as well. When we purchased our first home, much of it came with us and plenty more Ikea furniture was added to the original lot. We have rugs, window treatments, furniture, home decor, dishes, etc... from here and enjoy all of it. As with most things, you get what you pay for, don't buy the inexpensive items and expect them to be extremely high quality. We have chosen mostly the solid wood furniture and been pleased with the way they have held up over the years.
My daughter loves to play in Småland, she's always well cared for and has a blast. I can't believe there is childcare in a shopping venue, and childcare that I trust. I bonded with one of the caretakers because her granddaughter has a unique eye condition similar to my daughter's. Even though we've only met her two or three times, she remembers us and I remember her. I can't say enough how important it is to me for my kiddo to be in a safe, cared-for environment. Although I was extremely wary of such a place, I gave it a shot and am so glad I did.
If you haven't had Ikea food, treat yourself to a lunch before you shop! Great food, and most of it is available downstairs in the market area. I love Ikea!
