The quality is similar and the prices are in the same range if not cheaper. They have outdoor furniture, indoor furniture, mattresses, wardrobes, chairs, dining tables. Basically everything you need to complete your flat. They also offer same day delivery for 300 dkk and an additional 50 dkk to have your order carried up your narrow ass stairway. Before you waste so much time going all the way to the horrid place called IKEA, come to this place first. You won't regret it.

It might be cheap, but it's going to cost you more in the long run to replace or repurchase that cheap item because it sucks. I got a great pillow for Kr 200 that I think is excellent. However, the cheap towels I got here are a disaster. They shed white fluff everywhere and are not very good for drying things. I should have known better than to fall for the cheapest deal! But couldn't resist and now am regretting buying the cheap towels =( Lesson learned. I think I might stay away from their textiles in general, the quality does not seem very good for the price. I would rather travel a bit further to Ikea to get the same items. Household items like lightbulbs, hangers and bins are great though and I would go back to Jysk for these things.

It's too bad they don't have a little cafe inside because I would love to sit inside the store for hours. The store is so beautifully designed. And the products that line the shelves are equally amazing. It's hard to think you can fall in love with something like a tooth brush, but then you go in Hay House and see this beautifully designed tooth brush and you want to buy all of them. Hay doesn't have cheap products, but they have quality products. If you're in the market for a nice piece of Danish design thats more affordable than other brands, Hay would be my suggestion. Great store, great location, great all around. Go here if you're in Copenhagen!
