A Scandinavian institution! I was so glad when this store opened near me. IKEA is affordable and stylish, I particularly like their bedding range. It is pretty hard to navigate round IKEA, but that is the case with all their stores not just this one. I think they set up some sort of one way system deliberately so you have to go round the entire store just to try and get to where you want to be. Never go in when in a hurry! The damaged goods section (Crash and Dent?) is good for ready-built furniture with no assembly required that is ex display or has a slight (usually not noticeable) fault. Also try the Swedish food shop, the stuff in there is gorgeous and cheaper than tax free, Daim Almondi cake is amazing. Hotdogs, juice and icecream are also available at literally PENCE in a bistro bar and they are all delicious and nobody ever stops me wandering round eating these while browsing. This bistro bit is right at the exit but you can run in when people leave, opening the automatic doors for you! read more

Ikea is an institution for those moving to a first home. Hire a van for the day and load it up with your purchases from Ikea - they have everything you could possible need to furnish a home and at great prices. The furniture is also very modern and cleverly designed - things you didn't even know you needed until you see them! Ikea is clean and well organised and there are signs to help direct you and find what you need. If at all possible, I'd recommend that you avoid peak times like weekends and bank holidays as it can be busy and sometimes difficult to park. The restaurant is clean and tidy and the food is excellent value. There is also a good range of healthy drinks and snacks for young children and free baby food. Throughout the store there are also some small play areas for children to keep them occupied as well as a creche for older children (from 3 years). read more

Before the days of Ikea in Edinburgh and Glasgow, I actually made my boyfriend drive down to Newcastle so I could see what all the fuss was about. It is a cool place to pick up really good priced items. The place is HUGE, and they have all the home departments you would expect. My favourite is the kitchen shop. Anything you need at a much better price than the department stores etc. OK, the quality may not be amazing, bt you get what you pay for and I have never had a problem with anythig I have bought. With some stuff you dont need to pay a fortune, it's just basic stuff you need for yor house. They have loads of tills to keep things moving but I am sure at peak weekend times it can be a bit of a nightmare so I go midweek. Online and catalogue are great for checking stuff out before you go. read more

People often complain that their quality is not exceptional - but at those prices you cannot expect much more. Ikea makes practical modern furniture affordable to all. I have purchased flat packs from MFI, ARGOS, Focus etc - and none compare to Ikea's innovative ideas and modern designs. great for cheap modern and stylish designs. thing i love about it is it lasts as long as the fashion, no point in spending loads of money on something that will look dated and out of fashion in a few years. Yes its flat pack but thats half the fun! Visiting Ikea is a great day out - Excellent food hall! hot dogs are amazing and Breakfasts are unbelievably cheap and great tasting, sometimes its the only way i get my boyfriend to agree to our little trips there. read more

I like Ikea but it gets busy so i go early, the car park is a good size with free parking. It has a play area and a cafe with the meatballs a favourite. The store itself is large and a coffee break is always needed. The upper floor has the various rooms like a bedroom, kitchen, living room, etc giving you inspiration on how your various rooms can look. There is a tag on each item with a number this relates to the bay in the storeroom in which you can find the item you wish to purchase. The lower level is home to the kitchen utensils, pillows, rugs etc. They do a scheme called Ikea Family and through this they offer special offers so it might be worth signing up for it is free after all so go for it! read more

You can't really go wrong with Ikea furniture, it's mostly reasonably priced, fairly sturdy and not really all that difficult to put together and you will almost certainly find something you like. I love the market place which is full of lots of unusual Xmas decorations and lights, many already reduced in price. The restaurant has the feel of a work canteen, but the food is very reasonably priced & of course with your loyalty card you can have free tea/ coffee on week days. The food, while not being gourmet fayre, is always popular with kids & when they get bored they can wander over to the play area which has a large TV showing cartoons. Breakfasts are the best deal without a doubt. read more

The best shop in Scotland for cheap furniture and stuff for the house. Whenever we are down south visiting relatives we never forget to make the trip to Ikea. As we alway find good deals on furniture and accessories for our house. They also have a restraunt and a takeaway service. Which are both great value for money. Whenever were finished going round ikea we always get our hot-dog and chips from the takeaway at the front door. If you are planning on doing any decorating in the house or just looking to modernize your house your sure to find something that meets your needs at ikea. It is always busy no matter when you go. But there is most definetely plenty of parking available. read more

This Ikea store has all the same items as every other Ikea. The layout seems better than the other stores that I have been in and if you follow the prescribed route it is very easy to find everything you want. There are two places to buy food too. The first is a full restaurant which serves perfectly edible and cheap food for before your shopping trip. Afterwards there is the hotdog and ice cream stand after the checkouts. They do not however monitor the pick up points very well which means it can be very difficult to load large items on busy days as there are no spare pickup points and you are not allowed to take your trolley to the main car park. read more

Ikea is probably one of the few shops where you can almost have a day out for minimal cost, more so when it is raining. A typical day can be spent as follows: Arrive and head to the restaurant for breakfast. Following this offload the kids at the play area so that the adults can spend time walking slowly through the furniture area before picking up the kids and heading for a hotdog. Head for the market place where the kids can spend time at the toys and then on to the bargains area. If not sufficiently fed head back to the restaurant for dinner. Oh did I mention that quality and pricing everywhere is second to none. read more

A fantastic shop located in an easy to reach part of Glasgow. It's massive, so you'll find everything that you need here. Take my advice and enjoy a hotdog in the 'exit' section before you start your shopping trip, although if you get hungry on the way round there is a large café offering a wide range of snacks for you to choose from as well. Like all IKEA stores the whole place is well laid out and I've always found the staff to be really helpful and friendly. There are plenty of car parking spaces outside, and I've never felt that this place is too busy, even when I've shopped there at the weekend! read more

You always end up coming out of Ikea with more than you intended to get! Some of the bits and pieces they sell are absolute bargains - glasses, cutlery, wrapping paper, plants. The best bit after fighting your way through the queues and checkouts is getting a hotdog or ice cream (or both!). And the food shop is a wee gem too! It can get very very busy through, especially at weekends and in the build up to Christmas. They have good discounts when the sales are on though, so its well worth the visit if you can put up with the hustle and bustle! read more

Well what can I say IKEA is great. The minute you walk in the door there is someone there to greet and assist you if you need it, they are always very cheerful as well. A big plus about ikea is it is a very friendly place to shop if you have children. They have baby changing facilites a creche and also kids trolleys. There are plenty of bargains to be had in here and a must have for anyone. The best bit is once youve checked out you can go and get an uber cheap hot dog and drink for like 80p its super kool. read more

Where did we go before ikea??? its pretty much what you would expect. its laid out like a bit of a maze but its great to see everything they have on offer. u always end up spending more than you plan and even though most things are well priced you will occasionally find something (kitchen stuff usually) that you can get cheaper elsewhere so just be carefull. the cafe is really good and fantastic value. happy shopping. read more

I Love IKEA! I got PAX Wardrobe from there and it is absolutely great quality! I think I will have it forever, even better so, the woman in the shop recommended this company to me that built it for a very reasonable price as me and wife just couldn't have tackled it on our own. They were called Flat Pack Attack and took great care of us, I would always favor IKEA over other furniture outlets. Regards, Craig read more

Ikeas bring out the rebel in me: all those arrows telling you which way you should go round the store makes me deliberately want to go in the opposite direction. Power to the people!! Cheap stuff - some of it stylish, none of it unique. Great for student flats. Good place to buy Swedish nibbles with unpronounceable names when you get the craving for Swedish food. read more

If you're looking to kit out your home on a budget - Ikea is the place to come. The range of items on offer at the Glasgow store is unbelievable - don't expect to pop in for and hour, you'll need the best part of a day to make your way around the store! Most items are of pretty good quality - but always bare in mind, you get what you pay for! read more

You can't go wrong with Ikea, often seen as a cheap option, it's actually just full of stuff that's better designed that the average store. One tip - avoid bank holidays like the plague, you'll spend hours queuing on the M8. read more
