I have traveled to California just to get a KALLAX (and stop by Disneyland)... full disclosure I can't say any of the names for the furniture pieces that I own. To address the obvious, it is busy and it will be for quite some time. Think of it as cyber Monday/black Friday event that occurs at one location everyday, all day. The simple fact is that IKEA decided to plop a location in the desert and locals have lost their composure. Jokes aside... business as usual.\n\nThe parking was spacious, but I was hoping for a garage. 100 plus degree heat is not going to be kind to those that will likely park outside IKEA for more than 20 minutes. \n\nThe layout of the show rooms, and departments seem to be about the same as other locations I have been too. The cafe layout--- I could not tell you because the crowds filled in all the possible square footage I could see... I'm about 5'0'' so I couldn't see much. \n\nIf you have kids, IKEA has Sm\u00E5land which is a place for kids to hangout and run around with other kids for 45-60 minutes for FREE!!! Granted, after time has elapsed the kids will need to be picked up.\n\nFriendly advice, have a fully charged phone to take pictures of the different items and their correlating tags. There are pencils and paper, but in my experience I will lose them or they got swedish meatballs on them. You will be able to pick up the items down stairs. I loved all the show rooms! There are so many ways to design and create a room with inexpensive items that will hold up very well. Imagination is endless in this place. So, have fun, hydrate, and have comfortable shoes because on average a person could spend 2 hours in there."^^ . . "2016-05-28T00:00:00"^^ . . "4"^^ .
