IKEA - quality and quantity. I worked here back in my day (like 2016) I was a graduate student doing my thannggg ya hear me? I worked in Smaland with the kiddos, I know right?! Awwww...Myni loves the kids! IKEA is a hub, a holding space for families, individuals, business owners, children, you name it! One of my favorite things about IKEA is the inspiration. I was walking around during a recent visit and I read something along the lines of "you do the dreaming, and we'll do the building." Don't quote me though. It aligns! Get inspired here! And honestly, even if you think you need it you do. Not in the consumerism way though. Ha. read more

i know ikea is a furniture store, i've gotten some nice pieces from here, but this review is in honor of the food court's newest addition: the falafel plate. as a vegetarian who is a fan of the veggie dog at ikea, i was excited to hear about the falafel dish. it was delicious and full of flavor, for a low price of 4.99! it is nice to have more plant based options to eat! also- the gooey chocolate cake is my favorite. it reminds me of a brownie mousse like texture read more

Shopping in Houston, Texas... My youngest niece has never been to an IKEA. There's none in Hawaii... so, this was an educational experience for her. We showed her how to follow the arrows on the ground to see everything and not get lost. She saw the setups for different rooms in the house as well as many types of furniture, kitchen gadgets, snacks, organizational items, beverages, plushies, etc. Her parents actually wanted to dine here, but it closed at 8pm. Shucks... no Swedish meatballs for her... Maybe next time! Thanks to the nice worker who told us about the dining room hours! We scanned our own items and had our own shopping bags! read more

IKEA - Katy Fwy (Houston) Sometimes, it's rewarding to be at the right place, right time. I visited this IKEA for the first time and I was able to be rewarded by 11 AM, for being among the first, forty, IKEA Members. For a limited time, IKEA is doing a Giveaway to the First, 40, Registered Members, to Celebrate their 40th Anniversary. (Visit your local store for details) The first, 40 Members, receive a chance to participate in a drawing to win $5-$500 IKEA gift card. I was able to draw a $5 gift card, which paid for over 80% of my Swedish Meatballs Meal (12 count). Normally, 12 count meatballs meal cost $9.99. For a limited time through September 2025, Members receive 40% discount, as part of the 40-Year Anniversary. After my delicious meal and enjoying my time in their clean and brightly lit dining room, I decided to walk around and see if I could find anything I could buy. Side note, at IKEA, it can be dangerous to walk around and not buy anything. If you don't come with discipline and willpower to not buy something you don't actually need. LOL! I enjoyed imagining, as I walked through different rooms. What's your favorite room to get lost in your imagination? For me, the kitchen. IKEA always does such a great job at showcasing their kitchens. Almost eliminating guess work of what your next kitchen can look like. The second magical place I like to be lost in my imagination is their lighting area. I've always admired how unique their lamps look, as well as, light fixtures. Overall, I enjoyed being at this location and looking forward returning. read more

IKEA Houston has been one of the places in this city that I've visited more than a handful of times in the past decade. Whether it's to shop for furniture, look for inspiration or designs, visit their bistro or cafe, this store has plenty to offer. Having visited other IKEA locations nationwide and internationally, I've been able to make comparisons to this Houston location. Their parking lot is huge, but since it is literally right off the highway, the way it is designed isn't the best for those who want to turn in or head out especially when the traffic hits hard. I've witnessed many near misses on the road but glad to say nothing crazy so far. Their amenities are quite nice for their members which include a daycare like playland for little ones plus free coffee during the visit in their cafe. There are also many offers throughout the store if you have an IKEA family card, giving discounts every now and then (like a birthday reward) and even specials on food items on certain days of the week (like 50% off food on Tuesdays). The layout is just like any other IKEA store in the world, with a pathway from area to area taking you through lighting and fixtures, kitchen and dining, closets and cabinets, etc. It has so much to offer and can be overwhelming. Luckily, browsing online and in store can help you narrow down what you need to get for whatever space you're trying to fill. I have bought many things from various departments inside IKEA and found a lot of what I bought a good buy in terms of quality, design, and price. I've also had a few items here and there that weren't as awesome as I thought they'd be. The crowds during the weekends can be really bad and visitors with carts may be going any direction on the pathway, so caution is needed. The checkout area can also be as chaotic, so self-checkout as much as possible! IKEA's products are typically more affordable and not as great quality as many other places...but can still appeal to many. There are several team members at your service when you need them so don't be afraid to ask for help whenever needed. All in all, a popular destination for those who are looking to spruce up a space, with no right or wrong, just what suits your taste (and wallet). read more

What can you really say about IKEA that's not already been said...not much. It is true that the store although extensive, is well organized. It's true that their parking lot is huge. It's true that the store is well maintained, providing many options and equally as many deals (on certain items). No longer being a dorm student, or a young couple, you'll usually find me in thrift shops when I want a deal and quality furniture, but for temporary use, DIY projects, and non essential pieces IKEA is fine. The returns and heavily discounted items room is one I wish I discovered in college, and for what it is, I appreciate it. However, no matter how good the deal is, I've struggled to 1. Find help when I need it as my lil 4'11" self cannot reach most things and 2. Have never found the patience to wait in that long line after an hour of navigating the entirety of the showroom maze to finally locate my items downstairs. Maybe it's my timing, but I've yet to have a "quick trip into IKEA" (less than 1 hour), which over the years has made me less and less inclined to go. All that being said, I'll definitely take my future kiddos, nieces and nephews when they begin their furniture journeys. IKEA is still a great spot for first time and budget buyers. read more

IKEA - Happy IKEA customer. - Furniture Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

My former best friend rented a small bungalow in Houston back when and had very limited closet space. She needed a free standing wardrobe for her clothes. Enter IKEA. We had a lot of hurdles to overcome to get said wardrobe from IKEA to her home. Hurdle #1 was borrowing her friend's pickup truck to pick up the wardrobe. Hurdle #2 was me driving a stick shift Ford F-250 pickup truck through Houston traffic. (It was actually hilarious, really, and what better ride to have on the Houston roads than a giant pickup truck?!) Hurdle #3 was easy: loading the pre-ordered wardrobe in the truck bed. Hurdle #4 was the return drive in Houston traffic. Hurdle #5 and the reason for the lack of a fifth star is: the wardrobe assembly! The quality (or non quality, really) of IKEA's assembly instructions is beyond frustrating!!!! And of course, all you have to work with tool wise is maybe two Allen wrenches that come with the furniture. After taking frequent breaks, and likely, into the following day, we completed the assembly of this wardrobe. Mission accomplished! I'm grateful IKEA provided a cost-effective solution to her clothing storage problem, and grateful her friend's were willing to loan us their F-250! I doubt the wardrobe lasted long since the parts not often seen were made of particle board. Again, it filled a need! IKEA and World Market were always fun stores to shop at in Houston and thankfully, we are getting our own IKEA in Madison, Alabama soon! read more

I love IKEA! The experience: walking through every square inch of IKEA is a stellar experience and great exercise. I do it a few times a year, and I'm always stunned by how low their prices are. Especially their napkins. When my kids go to college and need to buy furniture, hands down we're going to IKEA. The furniture: for the price, amazing. It's not the highest quality but gets the job done. Also lower quality furniture tends to be lighter in weight, so it's easier to move! Regarding the assembly instructions, I can't even put a LEGO set together, so I struggle. But an average person should have very little issue. The food: Yes, the food. It's surprisingly good. I love the meatballs, and the chicken strips and fries aren't too bad. Their regular coffee is also quite tasty. I'm not a huge fan of the decaf. If you join as a member, you can get a free cup of coffee each time you visit. Overall, please give IKEA a chance. I love them. read more

8.23.23 PLEASE BUILD A STORE IN THE WOODLANDS or THE NORTH SIDE! Exchanging damaged cabinet I bought on 8.21.23. I can't believe with houston being the 4 largest city in the USA, that there is only one IKEA in Houston. It's 52 miles one way for me. So I really have to think before I just head out to IKEA. IKEA should build a location in The Woodlands and one in Clear Lake for the south Houston area. I bought two cute red cabinets for my new bathroom. (See photo) They are made out of galvanized steel. I had to exchange one because it had a dent. IKEA has some great storage containers and boxes. They have a large selection of clearance going on right now. read more

IKEA - Entrance - Furniture Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

NGL - I've always loved IKEA and to a lesser extent, I still do. Their budget friendly furniture always serves a niche. This review is about my last 2 experiences visiting this place. We were in the store to buy a minimalistic high chair that was only $20. The deal was so good for the product that we actually bought two. The employees are as non attentive as ever and the staff seems to be getting younger and more apathetic as compared 'Back in the day'. But I guess I was there for the budget friendly high chair and came out satisfied. So why the 2 stars? Well its their stupid cafeteria. IKEA food raves itself for cheap, good and affordable. While I can agree to all those adjectives, their service is completely and utterly laughable. Sunday afternoon is busy, sure I understand that, but when you're 50 patrons deep into a cafeteria line, your 2 line workers and 1 register person is NOT sufficient. Anybody with a brain can tell you that. It took over 15-20 minutes to get our food and check out. Yes there are people in the back and other workers, but man the common sense is lacking. Once we got our food, we went to get our silverware, but alas, there are no more spoons and forks. We have to wait another 5-10 minutes to have a heavy set guy hustle from behind the counter to the front to get some cutlery. *rapid breathing* A lack of foresight plagues the staffers. Erase that, a lack of common sense is missing from them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At another visit last year, it was a cold, dark and rainy night (cliché, but Yes it really was!). I had dropped by to get a drink and do some walking through checking baby beds. My truck's battery decided to give up that night. Since it was rainy and I had my pregnant wife at the time with me. I needed some help jumping my truck after I loaded it up. I had my jumper cables in hand and I just needed someone to help me with my battery. I went into CUSTOMER SERVICE and asked the folks there to help me jump it. Hoping for some sort of friendly face and a lending hand, the lady states " Sorry, its a liability issue". Truth be told, I half-ass expected this response, especially from a corporate's POV. But from a human kind perspective, this was a total jerk move. IDC if its a corporate policy, I will always help someone out or at least find someone that can. Apparently to IKEA its not as important as covering their own butts. BET - I see you IKEA. read more

Worst return process ever. No one tells you to sign in, so I waited 20 minutes before being rudely told to start over--then waited another 40 minutes. One rude employee handling everything. For a store this big, it's shocking how disorganized and disrespectful the return area is. Never again. read more

I've been here maybe 2-3 times ever. I went with a friend who wanted to look at their furniture for a sofa bed that converts easily by pulling the string and adjusting the backing. She also wanted a little foot stool. 98% of the furniture is tagged as "temporarily unavailable", however, if you want stuffed animal dinosaurs or kitchenware, you should be good to go! We saw a couple of kids stuck in the bin of snake stuffed animals yelling for their mom not to leave them cause they used the bins like a ball pit. Classy. We looked around and liked a few kitchen setup ideas, trellis decor, or organization and saw a few things we'd do differently. The quality is "eh", but it is IKEA. You get what you pay for. I have a lovely red glass cabinet that was gifted to me years ago and a dresser that I still have. Depends what you get. The saving grace of IKEA just might be their cafeteria. I've tried the Swedish meatballs before, which are tasty with the lingonberry sauce. This time we opted for snacks and saw the sign for $1.79 almond cake and people purchasing fries. The giant sign with almond cake lured us. There was a small slice left in the display case (before they restocked). The almond cake was delicious! It's like a Symphony chocolate bar with almonds and toffee topped and layered with thin cake. I could eat 10 of these. Lol. Fries were good and crispy dipped in ranch or ketchup. If you're at IKEA, you must try the almond cake (unless you have nut allergies. Please don't.) Don't expect to find available furniture, probably cause of the crazy inflation post pandemic. read more

When I need a quick fix of home furnishing, I turn to IKEA. Unfortunately, I'm here more often than I needed to. This is due to Covid-19 pandemic with shortage of labor and worldwide supply chains of wood. When I started working from home, I needed furniture but they closed majority of 2020. So, I wanted a picture frame in 2021. I attempted to order online, it said all sold out. I tried at 2 am, 10 am, 2 pm and forget it. At one point, there were few. But when it comes to opening time, all gone. WHO WANTS PICTURE FRAME THAT BAD? So, I bought a cheapo one at Target instead. I have been here for dozen times this year already. I just need to replace my bed and mattress. I found them online and been religiously following each item. When I got to the store, shelf was empty. Employee said, they had 4 in the inventory. But not they could be on someone's shopping cart. Uhhh... It's ok. I went home and tried to follow it again. As soon as Monday came, they got few dozens. So I bought it online. It didn't say when to pick up until I paid for it. Wait, I don't have time to pick up next day. So I rushed to the store to claim it from the shelves. Employee at pick up was nice to tell me the order was ready. I didn't have to wait. When I got home, I found something missing from the bed base box. I search online for SULTAN center leg. The closest one is in San Antonio. I asked my sister to try East Palo Alto. They told her their inventory system was wrong. She had to drive 2 hours to South Sacramento. FOR WHAT? IT'S ONLY $10 PART. Get some in your store already. My bed was raised with boards and books. As I was about to write a nasty gram on Reddit, I saw that item was available for shipping. I spent about $4 to get it shipped. Thank goodness I didn't need to drive to San Antonio for a $10 item. I couldn't return it because it was already built and it weighs over 90 pounds. I nearly broke my back to get it to my house. There are other furniture stores in Houston, you know. Get your online ordering system and inventory system updated!!!!! Employees are nicer than the systems. That's why I'm stuck with IKEA. read more

It is what it is. Furniture that is practical and not expensive. We decided some years ago to stop buying particleboard. Since then we have been pleasantly surprised to learn that Ikea has a number of items made out of real wood, metal and tempered glass. For example, we enjoy a lovely dining table made out of acacia. Now we are on the lookout for some nice bookshelves By the way, the Swedish-style cafeteria is worth a visit. The menu is quite small, but the food is fresh and tasty. Children especially love it. read more

Not to be confused with KIA (a car), IDEA (I don't have as many as I used to), and IKR (you know, right?). I first shopped here at the Milton Keynes location (UK), and hated it, but was able to get what I wanted (chairs for my UK tour). Since then I've been to many of them in many places, I find the food they serve to be bland fast food that has gone up in price significantly, and I find the traffic coming in and out of this location in particular to be a total nightmare. Having said that, it has its merits and it's great for Houston that they have one here. The nightmarish drivers got it reduced from 3 to 2. Share the road, IKEA customers. read more

If you are looking for low cost items for your home to help decorate , organize or brighten up this may be your place. If you are looking for Houstonians to wear a mask inside or remember to put mask over their nose , this definitely is not the place . Hopefully most are vaccinated since there seemed to be a mask challenge for most in store. I picked up a few items and left quickly .Will I return? Definitely not for awhile or at least until herd immunity occurs or the second they open and crowds are lessened . Positives : Very courteous employees that were helpful navigating around store. Huge selection of everything I was looking for and courteous cashier who didn't mind using hand sanitizer between customers. read more

This review is in reference to the food available at Ikea. The soft-serve found downstairs might be tastier than McDonald's. The princess cakes are a magical combination of marzipan and other delights and can be bought individually or in multipacks frozen. Upstairs is where the magic happens... AKA the food. I will say that one star got deducted because they really downgraded their coffee. My dad used to be obsessed with it but they changed their machines, not sure about the beans. It's just not the same. They also discontinued the lox salad and open face for a while and instead have a lox wrap which doesn't seem as appealing. Prices have gone up likely due to the pandemic. But I will say that the lox itself is tasty as can be and reasonably priced compared to other spots. The breakfast was 99 cents and included potatoes, eggs (fake eggs) and meat item or replace with Swedish pancakes for an additional buck or two. The veggie cutlets pictured below are a pleasure. The atmosphere and seating is lovely in the morning when it's empty. The decor is swanky and cool and it's really a nice place to enjoy a solo breakfast and look out the window, or to spend some quality one-on-one time with a friend or family member. Clean up your own tray when you're finished and drop it off at the designated area! read more

Horrible customer service. Paid for assembly and didn't get it. Had to go into the store to get the right parts since they sent the wrong ones. The girl I dealt with was nice, but had horrible customer service overall. They had one lane open for 34 customers and 8 guys standing around parts. Finally assembled the couch myself to find out it was defective. Went back and forth with customer service for 2 weeks to schedule a replacement delivery. Said they didn't have pictures of the part I needed even though I sent it to them multiple times. They finally realized what the part was when we went in person, but told me that it would probably get delivered at a time that I would not be home since they couldn't give me a date or time for delivery. For what we paid we received horrible product and customer service throughout our experience. The replacement part finally got delivered and was supposed to be assembled by them but I was told by the driver that he was already running late and had other deliveries to make (not my problem it's your job). When he was taking the part out he scratched our table and took off before I could take the screws and attachments off so now I need to get those parts. Called ikea again and found out assembly wasn't listed in the order when it was supposed to be. Keep in mind the order was placed in person and the order writer confirmed assembly. Every time i call I always get put through to the call center after waiting 15+ minutes just for them to tell me they don't understand. read more

IKEA - Part of couch that is defective - Furniture Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love coming to this location to get some quality furniture. I've perused other furniture stores, but none of them seem to impress me as well as Ikea. My complaint is that there is a mismatch in availability of an item between the website and the physical store. Ikea places tags saying "Temporarily unavailable" on their items that are currently out of stock. However, I tried looking for a floor lamp (the Ranarp), and it wasn't available in the marketplace despite not being labeled as temporarily unavailable in the showroom. Consequently, I had to get it from Amazon. It seems kinda pointless to have these tags anyway. If you're looking for an item, I highly recommend you look it up on Ikea's website to see if it's even in stock. That way, you don't waste a trip. read more
