having an ikea nearby is always convenient. of course there's a whole range of quality within the ikea brand so i can't say i love everything they sell in that sense. there's also a range of styles to chose from although most of it is the contemporary scandinavian design concept available in more affordable prices. apart from furnitures, i like the ikea bedding as well as other household things like certain kitchen/serving items. the ikea restaurant is decent and has a lot of seating. very family friendly. tried the falafel and couscous the other day and for ikea food, it wasn't too bad. the falafels are the smallest ones i've seen. very cute. after the cashiers downstairs there's also of course the hot dog stand if you'd rather grab one and go. for 10kr, the soft-serve ice cream is also a nice treat. read more

IKEA Forus - ikea forus exit. sandnes, norway - Furniture Stores Near Me - Sandnes, 11

I love Ikea, and recently got a new apartment with not many belongings to put in it. My boyfriend and I spent about 2 hours wandering around the store getting things we need and picking styles for decorating. Not only is it fun for us to go there, but the prices are great, you can get many home basics along with decorative items! I got everything I needed without going broke. Love it! read more

I am a huge fan of Ikea. The one closest to me in the US is about an hour away so I was happy to visit Norway where Ikeas are plentiful and easy to get to! This store had a great selection of Nordic Christmas items that you never see for sale in the US stores so I was able to purchase some unique items. I wanted a pillowcase, but not the pillow since that wouldn't be as easy to bring via plane, and one of the employees was super nice and raced around the store to find it for me. My friend and I ate in the cafe and we got some great meals. I wish the US Ikeas offered the same traditional foods instead of just meatballs and then everything else is catered to the US audience. They're missing a great opportunity to introduce the US to Komle! read more
