Pros: Fun experience. A good place to go and visit with friends if you want to go out and just walk around. The food is good and for the most part, priced well. This place is inexpensive for buying fast-furnishing and/or unique furniture, and there is a wide selection of nearly everything under the sun. There is also a childrens play place that allows you to drop off your children for up to an hour (one and a half hours, if you have a special membership at IKEA). There is a TV, ball pit, and other kid things. My son had a great time. The person who signed the kids in must sign them out with ID. Cons: With cheap prices comes cheap quality. There are many items I simply would not buy at IKEA due to the fact that the quality is not fantastic. There are some things that are a good bargain, but I wouldnt just go there to buy everything in one stop for my home because I like my furniture to last. With that said, it would be okay for someone like a college student and just needs to furnish their room while their in the dorms. It would also be useful for someone who has a studio apartment who needs to conserve space and is not hard on their furniture at all or is not home a ton to over-use the furniture. People with kids may not want the furniture as much because kids tend to have clumsy or just wild accidents, and the furniture may not last due to the beating it might get. Of course, IKEA is popular for a reason, so perhaps my standards for quality are too strong. Conclusion: IKEA offers a very unique selection of space-saving and fun items. While the selection is great, and the prices are great, the quality often does not meet my standards. The experience is still fun and exciting, and you can find small items, such as kitchen gadgets and lamps that are fairly priced and still deliver on quality. The international cuisine section near the exit is a great place to find inexpensive but really interesting and tasty foods from around the world. As a side note, you could also just visit to eat and relax upstairs for a cafeteria-style experience or downstairs for a more fast food Target-style experience (Target being the retail store). The food is generally healthy and inexpensive, and it can be from around the world.

AB-SO-LUTE-LY HORRIBLE online shopping experience!! TERRIBLE. I placed an order online but, when the delivery dates came back so far out (12 days for an in-stock item that would ship from 55 miles away from my home?) I tried (emphasis on try) to contact them via their online "help" (snort - please) center... after being led through no less than six different voice prompts on three separate calls, all ended in the same place: Telling me their call center was closed. So I called the store and was led again via phone prompts to contact the correct department which led me to, you guessed it, a voice prompt telling me the call center was closed. They would continue to transfer my call and even told me to "please wait while I connect your call" yet every new number they gave me kept sending me to the same annoying voice message "WE ARE CLOSED" - and this was at 1:40 in the freaking afternoon on a business day (No holidays, nothing to explain why they were closed)!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I then tried their online chat option and was told all their agents were busy and that I could leave an email that would be returned sometime in the next five days... FIVE days! Talk about SH!TTY service. I was so frustrated I about renounced the 12.5% Swedish blood I have coursing through my veins that was now near a boiling point. WHY CANT THEY JUST ANSWER THE FRIGGIN PHONE????? I have WASTED over an HOUR and a HALF trying to contact SOMEONE but to no avail. Screw Ikea.

Expensive Cardboard. Good for new parents only. I got to be honest I love the idea of IKEA and I love the design. The store/warehouse is awesome. I like being able to eat there and the food on top of being convenient is usually pretty tasty. The only thing holding IKEA back is the product. Like I said I love the design. But the execution and the materials used is so cheap and crappy. Like I said its expensive cardboard. Now this does not apply to all items, in fact some select items are pretty darn nice but those are usually overpriced. I guess it just comes down to value. Its kinda like you get cheap stuff for cheap or less cheap stuff for way too much. However, if you are new parents with new young kids then you will find some value in it. If you have young kids this stuff is good. You can let it get destroyed for a few years and then when your kids are older go to a real furniture store and buy something that is going to last. This is all exclusive to furniture by the way. The glassware, electronics, lights, decorations and other stuff is all super good and priced well. I really like our drinking glasses we got there and they were super cheap. So be sure to shop carefully!!!

Worst furniture buying experience of my life. If you think applying DMV-like experience to furniture shopping, then this is the place! Went from one employee to the next waiting in long lines each time, to purchase the sectional. We paid for delivery, and after building the sectional, discovered they had given us the wrong sized fabric coverings. So, we ended up with a half- covered sectional in our basement. I had to take time away from my work day to go to their returns/exchange department to try and get the right set one covers for the sectional. The person there didnt know the piece I needed and sent me back to the warehouse department, who also didnt know the right piece for me to buy... so I left 2 hours later frustrated and with a sectional half covered and and no solution. Bravo, Ikea. Bravo. UPDATE: We were able to figure out what we needed to get from Ikea to complete the sectional, and Ikea made sure to match the sale price, which is good! However, I would still recommend going to RC Wiley, or somewhere else in Furniture Row, if youre looking for a sectional or couches. It will save you time and possibly a big headache.

We got sucked into mystical world of IKEA with their the supposedly low prices (some things really are cheap, but much of the furniture is right on par with the rest of the competitors) and and great looking furniture. But after two houses and two solid attempts at using much of what IKEA brings to table I have to admit I feel like the mad house, thought I was only going to be here an hour, but ended up on a 5 hour excursions just to find that the furniture really doesnt hold up longer than 3 or so years anyway--really isnt worth it. At the end of the day we still spent within a few hundred of what we wouldve at places like West Elm anyway but gotten far less quality. That being said, if you do your online research (and just buy online) or go straight in through the back to the warehouse area IKEA is still worth it for things like large wall art, decor odds and ends, lamps, towels and other bathroom/kitchen stuff. But who knows maybe my perspective is skewed because I hate assembling their stuff more than pretty much anything else.
