I never understood the hype of buying stuff that is unassembled and putting it together yourself, which is probably why I've never had any desire to go into an Ikea. I did want to try the meatballs tho and last week I was in the area for an appointment and had some time to kill, so we decided to check it out. It was a weekday morning, and it was early enough that it wasn't busy. I had just had surgery and this place is massive, so we rented a wheelchair for me so I wouldn't have to walk. The wheelchairs can be rented downstairs at the customer service department, right next to the escalators. All you have to do is leave your ID.
I dislike the setup of Ikea, it looks like a maze. I kept thinking when will this end? It never did. I'm still here now writing my review. All jokes aside, I wasn't too impressed with the selection of items. They seemed to have more chairs than anything. I was looking for a wall mount for our 60" TV, and Ikea only had 3 to choose from and the biggest only holding a 55". Boo. I did see some cute knick nacks for the home, but nothing stood out like omg I need this. I left without buying anything. But hey at least I can say I've been to an Ikea now.
