The best the great no just ok So far by far one of the better locations and store lay outs of IKEA i been too, the staff is never to be found but what ever if you want to walk around and not feel like you in to much of a maze this place is good, the downstairs is nicely organized and most of the time you can find what ever you need and want. The lines are a bit long but what ever. Parking is huge and no one fights for a spot Be warn if they have a sale parking is not to be found and you will leave the store frustrated like no tommorow. read more

This review is about this particular IKEA location. In general, I like IKEAs because they offer a great variety of things at great prices. But the Elizabeth location is a nightmare. You can't bring your cart beyond a barricaded loading area (because evidently, people there steal carts. There is no barricaded loading area at the Paramus store). So you have to either wait while your companion fetches the car (and tries to find a parking space so you CAN unload), or if you're solo, you have to leave your cart (and hope things don't get stolen). Entire families (4-8 people or more) go there for something to do so the aisles are really crowded with children darting around or seniors shuffling very slowly. There aren't enough registers open. On a very crowded Sunday, fully 1/3 of the registers were closed. The other lines had at least 15 people waiting. Why is this? I will never go back to this location. read more

Nothing good looking super tacky, and took about half an hour to leave the building. Not going back, smh

Sunday afternoon, place is packed. Lines to check out are crazy long, yet there are 12 unmanned registers, no express lanes, no self checkout. Store management at its worst. read more

Oh, boy...where do I begin? I'm gonna be honest because I live for iKea. They always seems to have everything I want and the prices always seem to be just right. The furniture is always simple, modern, and cool. Everything is always so sqaure, but so what?! I know some people have labeled it "dorm room furniture", but i have to disagree. I decorate my apartment from head to toe in iKea furniture everytime I need to break a lease and move into a new apartment. I think getting all new iKea furniture gives a new apartment lease some character and charm. It gives it that "Joie de vivre" touch. However, iKea kills me when they have overpriced items like it's Pottery Barn or CB2. It's not even Macys quality. At times, I don't even know if the table and cabinets are real wood and i don't care. All I know is I want it! I have noticed the construction quality in furniture assembly for their show room has really gone down hill. Just because someone makes under ten dollars an hour doesn't mean they can't put their heart and soul into assembling furniture on the job. I live for the Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes (even though the mash didn't taste right on my last trip over here). I know everyone deems the meatballs to be the highlight of their visit, but uh huh - not for me. The highlight is the cast of characters they have shopping here and the ones working behind the registers. They always perform at a snap of my fingers and they never fail to deliver. If you want grey sweatpants, sassy attitude, bubble gum popping, the smell of shea coco buttah, and UGG shoes, this is the place to get it. Even the free bus ride here has characters that make the entire trip worth it. The folks from Newark are a riot because they stock up on this stuff like it's diamonds from Tiffanys. But I don't have that issue because I'm on another scale. My favorite person is the cashier that processes the orders to be delivered. He truly needs his own reality show. He'll give you shade like there is no tomorrow and those long nails of his are a true work of ART. He dabs himself with vaseline over his lips before each transaction to give the effect of juicy-Angelina-Jolie-lips. He makes the trip here worth it everytime. Some have said he sounds robotic, but I think he's full of personality. read more

Very disapointed with this Ikea, in Elizabeth,,after spending hundreds of $$ here, Oct 7-8 i noticed when leaving they had a sign for free food at the buffet when you spend at least 100$. Ok great i thought, so we mske our way to the food court , which is a long walk. the checkout area and the food court are in two different floors.. when inarrived at the food court i asked the cashier how this work and showed her my receipt of my purchases, she said ,,, "No you have to eat first and then go purchase your items, "so i said to her why whats the difference im already here!! She told me to go back downstairs to customerr service so they can validate it. So i go to customer service and they told me to go pay for your meal upstairs and then come back to customer service so they can refund you your money!? What a horrible promotion,, wheni was at the cashier making purchases how come no one said anything? Why dont they just give everyone a voucher at the cashier that spends $100??? Instead of keeping evrything so complicated! After seeing the long line at customer service with Deli style pick a number and wait system,, i said forget this and left,,,annoying The employees at this location are not helpful, And when you ask them questions it seems like they are being bothered. Good luck trying to find a manager on the floor to complain to .. its non existant Go to the Paramus store,,, i know its closed sundays but its way better! read more

They were just about out of everything we needed to buy. Don't think about returning anything. Take a number and have a sit on a bench, wait for your number to be called. One person was processing customers at a rate of call you before the end of the week. The only pro was the food in the cafeteria. Poor customer service in every department. read more

I WAS a fan. Was!! In 2012, I purchased an entire new kitchen from Ikea. Cabinets, Countertops, Doors. The entire process was easy. A few doors developed chips over the years and was able to easily purchase replacements. Then one day a few years ago, I tried to buy a replacement door and found that IKEA had totally replaced all their available cabinet bases and doors with a new product. What's more, the sizes weren't even similar, so the only way to get a replacement door for my kitchen (that's only 5 years old at this point) is to order it through a third party; super expensive...thanks for that Ikea. So, now I've decided to do another project needing a solid wood countertop. Guess what? Ikea discontinued those too. They now only have wood veneer. "Thick" wood veneer, as if that's supposed to be a draw. I can't cut it. It's veneer. Bye Ikea!! read more

This is the worst IKEA I have ever been to. I have just moved to the US, but have been to lots of IKEA stores in different countries. One thing that generally makes the experience a bit more pleasant is the friendly and helpful customer service. This was not the case in IKEA Elizabeth. I was shocked at how rude some of the staff were. The checkout girl was obnoxious and just grunted to acknowledge my existence. People in the store gave contradictory information which meant all the things I thought I could have delivered I need to lug home myself by bus. The guy who organised the deliveries was unhelpful and unpleasant. This suggests that the store is poorly managed. I don't think that people in NJ are are ruder than anyone else, but it really felt that something was not right there. The IKEA products are the same everywhere and are generally quite nice and decent quality for a low price. I give the one star for that. I never want to go back to this store though read more

On June 11, 2014 our one year old Ikea purchased cooktop failed, flashing error F47. It's manufactured by Whirlpool for Ikea. We called 18002350065 and were told we'd be called back within 5-7 business days, that the unit needed to be replaced, and that it would be scheduled. No call back came. On June 26, 2014 we called 18002350065 and got an apology for the delay and a promise of a callback within a day. No callback came. On June 27, 2014 we called 18002350065 and were told that it would take 10-14 days for someone to call us to schedule a replacement. I called corporate headquarters, trying to reach you, and was shunted to a voicemail that promised a callback. None came. I posted a nasty note on the Whirlpool Facebook wall. Two days later I got a sincere sounding apology from Amber in their digital department, who asked for the model number and serial number, and promised to do what she could. I e-mailed the information promptly. Two days later, nothing has happened. I called a local appliance repair place that does work for Whirlpool - they said they've been replacing the model ICI1500XB 00 in homes all over the area...that it apparently is a product with a serious problem. Whirlpool? They're absent, ignoring their responsibilities to customers like me. We have tenants who haven't had a cooktop for three weeks, and are being told it will take weeks more to repair. To say this is unacceptable warranty service does not even begin to describe it. Anyone who buys an Ikea / Whirlpool appliance does so at their own peril. Serial XPU1000422 Model ICI1500XB 00 read more

I LOVE IKEA, so it pains me to have to give such a poor review. This review reflects poor customer service of one store only. IKEA in Brooklyn is the worst IKEA store I've ever been. Staff is overall not nice and not educated at all. Not counting bad directions and lack of knowledge from staff whenever I asked questions in the store + really rude treatment from a staff member at the bar serving pizza, below are the most serious problems I had in only 2 store visits (furnishing my new apartment in NY), 1. Placed 1 order for delivery. Items arrived on time but smaller items were all bundled up with really strong tape. Some were bent/broken and others the finishing came off when removing the tape. 2. Of the 3 Billy bookcases I ordered, 2 of them had wrong pieces inside (side os the shelves are supposed to symmetrical and they were exactly the same) 3. Got a nockeby sofa + cover. The cover, has 2 large pieces and several cushion covers. One of the large pieces was from another model of the same sofa. When calling customer support, you listen to a 5 minute long recording, navigate a bunch of options and finally you get another automatic recording saying they are closed and to call back within store open hours from 9am to 10pm - I was calling at 5pm!! Now I'll need to rent a car to return all the stuff and I very much doubt IKEA will pay for it. Plus store stock is poor so I risk more than 1 trip to fix all this. I've been an IKEA customer for over 10 years in Europe and I was shocked with the poor level of service in NY area, really shocked!! What have you done to lovely IKEA?? read more

I am disgusted & disappointed. I bought s hanging wall unit & installation. The first time they came- it was missing pieces. The second time they put it together BUT they had no orders to hang it. I waited 45 minutes on the telephone/ the workmen left/ to speak with someone. Sorry. I work full time & take time off for this. CUSTOMER Service & Support do NOT exist. I still have pieces all over my home. Lillian read more

Bad customer service. Had to wait 1 hour for desk we picked out. Was not in marketplace

If you are by yourself and you need to get a large item like a mattress, do not get it from here. Customer service is just not ideal. We struggled to put a mattress on our car while employees just looked. Employees that sole job is to assist just Did not. We ended up waiting 3 hours for the mattress and after the poor assistance we ended up returning it bc we couldn't get it home. Meanwhile you had to make line to return and line to get it delivered so we chose to make the line to return and never come back for something hige read more

STAY AWAY!!! I will never shop there again! Bedroom furniture arrived scratched. When I tried calling I was placed on hold for 1 hour and a half and no one picked up. I had to go in person. I was assured it would be replaced. They showed up with the wrong piece. After numerous phone calls I was assured again it would be replaced on a set date. Never received a confirmation call the night before as I was told. Called again and was told there was no delivery scheduled. Still waiting for a call back. The worst store ever and the worst customer service in the world. Do not waste your time and money. A very valuable lesson learned. Never again! read more

It's really hard to argue with the value of this place. Sure the furniture isn't the best and probably won't be heirloom quality but you can furnish an extra room for very short money. This was my first trip to any Ikea and the newark store is nice. For the kids that may get bored send them to the cafe first with some money to watch the planes come and go. Prices are on the low to mid range for mostly modern furniture. My only problem with this location is that the parking lot is a mess. Be careful not to put down a box and have it get wet or damaged. read more

First off, I'd like to say that this was not my first Ikea experience. I have used them for numerous "move-ins" and have usually had a decent experience. This time was by far the WORST and I will explain why: Last sunday, 6/22, I went to Ikea to get a couch and some other small things for my apartment. The couch I wanted had a chaise lounge. For some reason, you can't physically pick up the chaise lounge like you can with the rest of the couch. So I was able to grab the couch, and they gave me a "slip" to hand off to one of their employees to include in my shipment. The "slip" is specifically for the chaise lounge and you never actually get to see it. You just have to trust that one of their employees will be competent enough to include EVERYTHING included in the shipment. So I bring my couch to the shipping center. The guy assures me that EVERYTHING will be included and shipped to my apartment that same day. All of this was pretty smooth so I was in great spirits. Keep in mind, I still have not seen the chaise lounge. Also, it's not just the chaise lounge. It should come with a cover as well. If you know ikea, you know that you have to assemble every little piece of these things and you cannot fully assemble the couches without the covers on them. The guy tells me they will deliver between 7-10. So I pay the guy, leave the store and head home. They actually hit a nice time frame and came at around 8PM which was nice. So far so good, right? So I'm at home, straightening up my apartment, when the delivery guys come. Once they leave, I start opening all of the boxes. Everything in in there, except one small package: the chaise lounge cover. This normally wouldn't be that big of a deal except you cannot assemble the full couch without that cover. So I call the moving truck. They tell me it's not on the truck and that I need to call Ikea. At this point, ikea is closed. So I am annoyed but confident I can settle this the next morning. The next morning comes, and I call. After waiting on hold for 45 minutes, I finally get someone on the line. So I explain my dilemma, and they tell me: "It's going to take us 72 hours to file this claim and resolve it." Yup. IT TAKES THEM 3 DAYS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF A MISSING ITEM!!!! I was blown away. And I expressed my frustration. They told me they would be able to put a rush on it and have it FEDEX'd asap. Tuesday rolls around, I call again. No one has any previous knowledge that I filed a claim the day before. I get the run around. More promises that this would be taken care of. Wednesday: I call again, same stuff. Except this time I ask for a "manager." They put me on the line with someone. The guy ASSURES me that they are FEDEXing my cover ASAP and I should have a tracking number by the end of the day. I actually believed him but still was skeptical. Thursday: Still no tracking number. I call again. Same run around. At this point, I want to shoot myself in the face. I should have just driven to the store right? Wrong. I live in Hoboken but work in Manhattan and don't need a car so I don't have one. I also paid for them to deliver the couch so that would defeat the whole purpose. Friday: Still no tracking number. I ask to speak with another manager. This guy tells me that he is positive the package is on it way out and that I will get that tracking number shortly. I tell him that I have plans to just go pick the damn thing up at this point on Saturday. He tells me: "DO NOT PICK IT UP, IT IS ON ITS WAY!" I ask him, "Are you sure?!" He says, "Yes, if you go to the store, you'll end up with two." Sounds convincing right? Yeah, I thought so too. So I tell my friend he doesn't need to drive me to Ikea... Saturday: I wake up. I want to be safe so I call Ikea one more time. Yes, I have now called ikea every day of the week with no resolution. I get someone on the line, and explain my situation. NO TRACKING NUMBER! The woman tells me they are going to send it monday and I'll have it tuesday. I LOST IT! I told her to hold the damn package and that I was coming to get it. So I had to drive to go pick it up and handle this matter MYSELF! ONE SMALL PACKAGE PEOPLE! ONE WEEKS WORTH OF THE RUNAROUND! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!! So in conclusion: DO NOT BUY FURNITURE FROM IKEA! IT'S NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE! read more

OMG!!!!!! I had to wait over an hour to return sheets . Only one person working returns and the other employee refused to help !!! Never again!!!! Apparently there was no manager on duty. You can not return any other place in the store !!! They have lost a customer ! Moving forward I will not come to this location ever again!! While I was on lines making a purchase the cashier closed the line which extended my wait time !!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

IKEA - IKEA - Furniture Stores Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

Love the product and the experience of walking around the "maze". I even enjoy putting the stuff together. What I can't stand is the customer service of the place. I used the picking and delivery service which was too good to be true. For a few bucks, the though of every being delivered and picked sounds great on paper. Unfortunately my new furniture did not come when promised and it took an act of congress to get things fixed. The wait of nearly 50 minutes to get a human on the phone is enough said. read more

Purchased a kitchen, delivery scheduled and paid. IKEA use XPO Logistics (rates as one start only). Delivery scheduled to Friday, no show with no notice. Called customer case, the worst customer service ever. Went to Ikea Paramus to meet customer service in person. Ended up rescheduling to Sat - no show again, customer service can't help and XPO customer could t provide ETA. Ended up canceling the Kitchen order. Very disappointing fro company like IKEA read more

This is a fairly large Ikea and it's always fun to visit an Ikea and check out all the styles, simplicity, functionality and low prices for the function. The upper level has the furnitures and the famous Swedish meatballs in the cafeteria. The lower level has the "self-service" items and the warehouse pickup area for the large items. I like the organization of following the arrow through the entire store. It probably doesn't work as well if you are here for very targeted purchase but I like to browse so it works for me. We came shortly before closing so there was no crowds and it was nice and relaxing. It's next to the airport so the outdoor noise is high. It's also a bit hard to get to since it's in a port area away from other shopping areas. read more

I just had to mention this place because there are free rides from the Port Authority to this IKEA if you need it! I think this is just great, smart move! Other than that, it's your run of the mill IKEA. Cheap furniture, nice stuff, great and knowledgeable staff. Oh, they also have food, if you didn't already know that. Give them meatballs a try :) read more

Never had such a bad experience ! Never again IKEA shops all over the world, but the one in Manhattan (Brooklyn) is really the worst. Bad organization bad employee (except for a couple of great guy that I would like to save). Complete disaster. Never go ! read more

I used to like to come and sit in the cafe and watch the planes take of and land from Newark Airport before I would shop. However, they cancelled the free shuttle service from Port Authority and I haven't been back to this location since. read more

I love Ikea. I have to admit that there should be a healthy balance between buying Ikea furniture and buying from other stores. If you overdo it the way I have then your place will look like an Ikea showroom. Just looking around here's what I got from there. Dinner table with chairs, TV stand, couch, 50% of kitchen utensils, plates, mugs and glasses, lots of lights, desk, nightstand. Maybe i should list what I didn't buy there. uhm. It's really just my coffee table and bed. read more

So I threw a private party for my homies this past Saturday. Guess what? I had no bread knife. Rey Rey generously brings over her serrated knife and I start cutting a loaf of bread. Mind you, this workout was comparable to lifting cinder blocks for a day or two straight sans sleep. At one point, I really thought the plastic handle was going to snap off and poke an eye out. I thought to myself, great, one down, three to go! After cutting one loaf on a bias, I gave up and started slitting my wrist with it. Again, nothing happened. This knife was totally ineffective. I then glanced over at the blade to see the brand. Yup, you guessed it. Figures. For the love of God, take my eye, my wrist even. Just give me a decent fawken bread knife! read more

We ordered two Pax Closets to be delivered and we've waited TWICE now with NO SHOWS by the delivery company. Now we are on a 3rd date for delivery. We shall see if they show up! So just be aware their delivery sucks!!! Rent a truck and do it yourself. read more

I use to like IKEA until i made a huge purchase of custom closets. We ordered 4 closets and 2 beds which we had them deliver and assembled, paying extra for that. During delivery and installation extensive damages done to my walls during the installation of the 4 closets and 2 beds we purchased from Ikea. The installer was selected by Ikea and we have paid fully for the installation of all closets and beds purchased. The installer they used was XPO (prob the most careless delivery company) has made damages to the walls of the stairwell. I have told them to be very careful but they did not come prepared with any rugs to prevent floor or wall scratching. Initially there were 3 installers but 2 of them left after fixing the bed and left one person to do the closets which took him 8 hours to complete. The damages were also to the walls of the bedrooms where the closets were placed. Drill holes were in areas as if the installer was trying to find studs and the holes were in many places which is very unprofessional. Anchors are put in places such as molding of the ceiling and in walls which are already coming out. One of the closet currently is swaying and it can be a potential danger as we have a toddler. The closet is not put together correctly and when we open the door (one mirror door and one glass door) the closet sways left and right and has great potential of collapsing at anytime. We have paid a total of $4388.17 for this setup which includes $569 for assembly which was done improperly and with extensive damages to my home. Our walls are made of plaster and it is very expensive to fix. We have complained to the installation company who then asked us to take it on with Ikea since they are responsible for choosing the installer. I have been back in forth with the installation company and Ikea Customer Service who finally said to go to the store where it was purchased and get help and back and forth with their poor customer service is useless for the past 3 months. I would never purchase big items from this company ever again and wouldnt advise anyone else to do so. Buyer beware. read more

This Ikea store is the worst Ikea store in the world. The customer service is a disaster. I bought a sofa in the store one week ago for pickup from the store. They failed to deliver on the store they failed to deliver home twice and when they sent a delivery company 9 hours late (yes from the later end of the delivery interval) they brought the wrong item. What they did next? Nothing. They didn't call, keep me waiting for hours on the line... Horrible. This is organized theft. I want my money back!!!! read more

Let me start this review by saying that it will have nothing to do with the cafe. You don't go to a freaking furniture store for the meatballs, and I always make sure I eat beforehand, as these ventures can never seem to take less than 2 hours. I have been to roughly 4 different IKEAs, but this was the first in the NYC area. I took the free shuttle (Sats. and Suns.) and was delighted at the short commute - roughly 30 minutes! Free transport + savings of 5% = Best idea ever, right? Wrong. Really, really wrong. I may have saved about $100, but I lost my sanity, and for about a 20-minute window, my will to live. If you know anything about IKEA's on a weekend, they are packed. This one, however, was average. I had several questions about the beds I was buying, cabinets, and tables, but whenever I needed someone, no one (and yes, I mean no one on the Showroom floor for 3 1/2 hours) was around. The only help was one person at each department's help counter, with about 8-13 people waiting in line, requiring at least 5-10 minutes each. Scoop out my eyeballs with a spoon!!! That line is not going to happen for my 1 minute clarification question. In every single IKEA I have been to, and during every single visit, there are yellow shirts everywhere to help... minimal wait time. After my 3 1/2 hour decision making process, I finally have all items gathered, ready to put in an order for about 13 large items I could not carry. Mind you, this entire time I heard about 25 announcements saying something a long the lines of, "Can't fit it all in your vehicle? No worries! We can ship it! Just visit the Home Delivery Desk!" "Super... I'll get anything I can grab now..." Dish scrubbers, shower liners, etc. etc. With a HUGE load of tiny and large things alike, I check out and head to the Home Delivery desk to pay my $69 fee, as advertised. After waiting 50 MINUTES in line to service 4 people in front of me, I get to the counter and find out that "some of my items" cannot be shipped. WHAT? I take the subway. Are you freaking kidding me? I asked why, as in, "Why don't you people just put small items in a box and put an itemized list on the outside of the package like any real company?" I was told that the barcodes must always be accessible. SO, as if the 50 minute wait, and false advertising of shipment of items, I was told there will be an EXTRA $40 fee since I cannot pull mattresses out of a bin myself. Seriously? When I explained to the woman (who, by the way, abandoned the line for 20 of those 50 minutes to work out a discrepancy and left us stranded) that Raj told me that I was not even able to pull the mattresses because they were "up in the air" (like on a plane?), she said I still had to pay the fee. I tried again, saying, "I'm not ALLOWED to get it. It's not available for me to bring to you. I still have to pay the fee?" Her response was, "Well ma'am, if you want to go pull these items out and bring them back, you won't be charged the fee." SERIOUSLY? What the *bleep*?! Am I to climb a ladder to fetch the two queen sized beds from the air, maybe shoot a quail for lunch since it's now been 5 hours since I walked in the door? I realized I was speaking to someone who must be speaking some odd, deranged form of English... so I just shut up and paid. Instead of yelling. Loudly. Customer Service: 1 star, and that solely goes to Raj down near the As-is section, who was the only willing and available help. Policies were unclear. Convenience: 2 stars, free shuttle, no help in any section and difficult to understand bedding systems as a first-time buyer; Many items say "See sales associate for location details" but the sign doesn't understand that they are all dead, and the remaining worker is helping all 1200 occupants at this time. Loveable items: 4 stars. I just love the items at IKEA. Very functional, clever, and thought-out. Thus, why i return. I asked some stock man if this place was short staffed. "No. Not that I know of." NEVER AGAIN. Good luck, and best wishes. Pray for me as I spend 70+ hours putting together my furniture. read more

Loading bay in evening is chaos of empty and full carts, very difficult to get anywhere near your car. You lose sight of your things, and there are thieves. $50 worth of stuff was lifted from my cart. Even though I had the receipt, ikea absolutely refuses liability once its merchandise leaves the store, even to the loading area. So no refund or replacement. Never going back, and I advise others to avoid this very shady branch. read more

The employees are Fucking rude, act like they're doing you a favor when you ask a question. The checkout is impossible to find and complete chaos - shitty signage, and again, no one will help you. First and last time I'll shop at IKEA. read more

I love Ikea. Yeah, it's kinda crap, but I'm not yet at the point in my life where I'm ready to buy fancy furniture.... and most of it is cute anyway. Yes, going to Ikea can be a real hassle. If you don't want to spend hours there, have a list ready. It IS kinda fun to just shop around the downstairs though. And a 50 cent hot dog on your way out makes it all worth it. read more

It's Ikea. It's like it's own small country in the Elizabeth Area. This one is better than the Paramus store because its open Sundays, has 3% sales tax, and is not as crowded. There could be a little bit more help in the aisles but it was easy to find what I was looking for, and as always finished off our shopping with some Swedish Meatballs! read more

Horrible experience , not many sales people on the floor , paid for a delivery and installation, when they arrived it was late after the time they promised, upon arrival they told me they do not install It, it is another company that installs so I would have to call IKEA and make another appointment. I placed call to IKEA and waited 45 minutes to speak with someone , told them I was upset and I wanted my money back and for them to pick it up , then when they were to pick it up it was the same story another 1 1/2 on phone and late again . Will never purchase another item from them , they need to hire more people for customer service read more

Looooove ikea! The only thing I would want to critic about is the cafe. It's always packed and there will only be 1 person at the register. They need to do better on staffing. Overall I love coming here! read more

I love IKEA. They've got great home furnishing at low prices. They've got a nice little lunchroom too - had this turkey wrap I'm particularly fond of. Take the car though - I doubt you could carry much by shuttle/foot. read more

I hate you, Ikea. I hate your maze, the "shortcuts" that aren't, the cheapening of materials, the unhelpful cashiers, the unforgivably extended meatballs, the stale cinnamon rolls, the awkward carts of flat-pack and dwindling build quality. We're over, we're done, and I never want to see your ugly blue and yellow face again. read more

I'm honestly really unimpressed with this store. It's really overwhelming and very easy to get lost in. My boyfriend and I wanted to just come in, look for a dresser and leave and it wound up being a three hour ordeal. We also wanted to stop at the IKEA restaurant but the lines were super long as they always are. This is my second time attempting to try the restaurant out. It seems that they are a bit understaffed because we could not even find any employees on the sales floor to ask questions. After selecting the furniture item you want, you then need to go to the basement and find it according to the isle and bin. It's organized in that aspect but lacking staff on the floors to help.
