However, this is a cute little antique store with a variety of things from furniture, to knick knacks, prints, etc. We came looking for antique furniture, and while they didn't have what we were looking for, we did find a pair of unique cufflinks. Location has ample free parking which is very convenient. It definitely has a little something for everyone.

They had some lovely plants but other than that, it's your bog-standard store with Billy bookcases, Poäng chairs, Expedit cubes, Stockholm rugs, and a wide range of Ektorp sofas! But not a 5- star experience as honestly getting to the car parking was a bit convoluted. Might check out the Ikea in Birmingham instead of coming here. Yelp 26/ 2019

I am a massive IKEA fan! Each one is the same... but different. Most have their basic products, but…read moresometimes their minor product range is different depending on the location and country. I know this for a fact, as I've been to IKEAs in nearly every western European country and USA! "Why?" you might ask!? Because it's so much fun! And I can Always rely on a scrumptious and affordable meal in their cafes! This location is basically the same as all the others, but in my opinion it is much larger! One of the biggest buildings in central Coventry! It has 3 floors of parking and 6 or more floors in the building total! Your main starting point is on the floor with 'showrooms'. You can find this floor via the 4 massive elevators from the parking garage. Once you manage to make your way through that, the next level down is smaller individual items for sale, like kitchenware, bedding, storage etc. Then the final level down is the massive warehouse of huge items in boxes to buy. I hope you wrote your item # down somewhere or took a pic on your phone, because there's never many people on this floor to help you! Before the check out, be sure to stop by the discounted area. These are the items that someone returned, partially broken, or old showroom furniture. The checkout queues are usually a bit of a wait, but this location has a self service area if you only have a few things. I suggest eating at the cafe before you shop. At this location it is located on the top floor, near the toilets, and conveniently before you begin with the showrooms. Sometimes I get carried away that after shopping I have so much stuff my trolley won''t fit in the cafe seating area. If that happens, put everything in your car and head back up. (Hassle) The cafe offers a wide selection of full meals at very reasonable prices. And desserts, drinks of all sorts, etc. There is also an area for nursing and a small kids play area. Coventrys IKEA won't let you go home hungry! They've even got a second smaller cafe down stairs on the groundfloor, and another quick one after the tills! Also after the tills is a small geocery store with packaged goods to take home and make for dinner. And don't feel bad about dragging you little ones through the place for a couple hours... because there is actually a daycare center here to let them get off all their steam! Tips and Tricks: Join the IKEA Family card program to get a free type of insurance on faulty products. This card also gets you free coffee or tea any time of day... and discounts of select main courses. It also allows for you to know about upcoming events. Last but not least, scan your club card receipt after every shop for a special spurise! Use the loo before you shop, because once you're in the IKEA "maizes", it takes quite some time to actually get out! Allow yourself enough time to lose yourself in the creative mindset of what your potential home or office space could become! This is a creative space! Coventrys location allows you to validate your parking ticket after shopping. Also if you enter your car around the secret back side entrance, you can save some time and park on the ground floor. This is also useful for walking around the city center so not to navigate stairs or elevators. Enjoy & good luck!

Kitchen Order - Sheraton Kitchen Range…read more Initially we experienced a positive kitchen sales experience, but after the sales rep left the business we had nothing but problems. It's taken over 6 months and 6 separate deliveries to get all the correct items for our kitchen. We've had little or no communication with the management and no one took accountability for our order. Throughout the process - we've been told that we needed to pay more due to the sales person underselling, had our signature appear on paperwork with dates we never visited the store, had items missing which we had to buy and had to time and time again explain what we'd ordered. We've raised a formal compliant to the directors and they've offered us a £50 store voucher as compensation, pretty insulting based on the 6 days I took off work to receive the deliveries and the hours of time we had to invest to get the kitchen we ordered. We're now taking our compliant to the furniture ombudsman to try and find a reasonable solution. My advice - either use a company who specialise just in kitchens or buy something off the shelf. A shame as the Sheraton Kitchen Range is a decent product, I'd be pulling it from Leekes stores if I were them as the poor service reflects poorly on their premium product.

Mcmanus carpets and rugs is not far away from stoke park school…read more They sell some carpets, rugs and lots of other carpet accessories. They also offer a whipping service. Whipping is the binding of carpet or rug edges to ensure they do not fray. You sometimes see this kind of bound on car mats too. Talking of car mats mcmanus will also whip them too. So if you have some car mats that are in good condition but the edges are coming loose get them redone for a fraction of the cost of new mats. Last time i went in im sure they cost under £5 for the all edges to be done! Whipping can be done in literally any colour too, which is great for personalising them. The staff/owners are reall helpful to and friendly. They always seem to have work on. They also sell things like carpets spray glue and knee pads. So if you need a rug or your existing one bound then this is the place to come for a cheap way of repainring or adding style to them. Cheap and cheerful and easy to find! Parking is quite limited and hard though so your better off parking down a side street!

Home Bargains is far better in terms of pricing and quality. Most of the stuff is brand name products, usually close to their sell by date, imported, or surplus stocks that have been bought up. The best thing about Home Bargains is that they get new stuff in all the time so it's always exciting to see what they have in on the shelves! This store in Coventry is quite large but it tends to get a bit messy. The shelves are not always fully stacked and goods can be a bit all over the place. It also tends to get very busy and I've only ever seen a maximum of 2 tills open. So if you just want to buy a cheap drink or something, you may think twice about queuing for 20 minutes! Saying that, it's always worth popping in to see what you can snap up.
