Well well well ! Where do I start? I'm a sucker for leaving reviews when a place sparks my joy. I was here a few weeks back before close and even though I got what I was looking for (wooden laundry basket) I HAD to come back. This place is like a fun interactive adult museum. Getting to see so many curated spaces,touch a bunch of fabrics,be submersed in a piece of furniture. I came hear for their cookies! Left with 10 packs.The cutest packaged cookies I've ever seen with hearts for my tea parties. I'm ecstatic that they came out with a third flavor! Lemon Vanilla! I have yet to taste test. Also! 2 for $3 if you're an in ikea member instead of 2 for $5. The membership is free and they call you family after, so worth it and it's funny because you may not be related to your friend by blood but family through IKEA :) I seriously don't think I'll have room today to taste test after having their Swedish meatball lunch with linenberry juice. LINNENBERRY juice! I seriously love it. It's way better than cranberry juice, sweeter but more refreshing. It's an ikea thing. I also came for my snake plant (I heard they're impossible to kill:) ) got that! Got a breakfast in bed tray for my picnics. This place sparks up great convo with your friend and just great inspo all around if you're a visual person,such cute stuff. Some funky looking stuff, all quit practical. As someone who appreciates systems and inclusivity, you name it this place has got it down. Besides handi-capped parking there is parking for expecting mothers and parents with children! The bathrooms have complimentary toiletries. Staff is attentive. Finished off with the second meal place after checking out after we read a sign about free ice cream! :) who can pass that up, got a boat load of strawberry vanilla swirl. And a hotdog (for the experience) and had a complimentary cinnamon roll sample while we waited and figured out the self serve ordering kiosk. read more

Love visiting IKEA. Theres so much to see. Everyone that works there is very helpful. Love the selection's they have. You can literally take care of your entire household in one shopping trip. Minus of course your essential groceries. read more

I love IKEA! When I got my first apartment, most of my furniture and dish ware came from here. Affordable and usually easy to put together. I love their kids section, it always seems like it's expanding! I also love their plant selection, decor, and vases. read more

IKEA - Tip: park by the exit, not the entrance. - Furniture Stores Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

See all

Nice emporium just 15-minutes away from Milwaukee city proper and accessible via highway. It's smaller compared to the Chicago Schaumburg one (which used to be the biggest in US). But this location still has a lot of options and most of the regular products. It is well organized and inviting. It's easier to shop when there are not a lot of options. The cafe is in the middle of the building. read more

Exactly what you'd think of with an Ikea. This one has a one-way shopping route in a labyrinthine maze. You can get log jammed early on with too many visitors at once but once you break free, it can be tolerable. They have a lot of great show rooms throughout and love it when you get to the kitchen section about midway. Great gadgets at good prices. My only gripe is the fact that Ikea stopped selling their canned sparkling apple cider and they push for card-only kiosks. It can be quick if people know what they're doing, but that's not always the case. Worth the stop and better than driving down to the Schaumburg location. read more

I've been here previously but this time I brought a special guest. Since where we live now doesn't have an ikea I knew he needed to come with me. This space is insanely well kept and I'm so happy this location exists in Wisconsin. Each of the sections is kept so clean with workers present to help answer any questions that may arise. The variety within this space was insane, each area had several different room set ups to place the buyer in a headspace to see it in their own home. For the price of the materials I can see why this place is so appealing...... well it's not just that, the meatballs are pretty awesome too!! read more

IKEA - IKEA!!!! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

I haven't been to an IKEA in years so I was so excited to go. Not exactly what I was expecting but still great. One entire side of the store was all warehouse style and the other side had 20+ small showrooms. I love going through the showrooms to get ideas. They have a nice variety but it isn't overwhelming. They also have a small food court and a small area by the checkout where you can purchase Swedish treats. They also had their Christmas decor available by the checkout. The store especially in the showroom can feel like a maze and there's only 2 ways back to the checkout but the exit signs were helpful and well marked. Everything was clean and overall a good experience. read more

Ikea is overwhelming to say the least. It can be a very tiring experience so go in with gusto. The food court is strategically located at the front, middle, and market at the end to help combat fatigue . There are maps everywhere and short cuts so if you do have a list, you know how to get to your section. I always find something unique in the kitchen appliances and storage areas. I am happily surprised every time when my bill is less than expected. Usually I can find a far better price at Ikea. And the current furniture I have from them, bought at least 4 years ago is holding up exceptionally well and that is with being moved. read more

Definitely a fun store a d cool stuff. Some stuff not so much but I have several things from them. Convenient location, right off the expressway and unlike the other one I've been in is one story which was kinda nice also but I take it way more confused walking around it. read more

My friend and I talked about going to IKEA since it came to Wisconsin. This was my first time and I had a great experience. It is clean and spacious. The cafeteria by the checkout area has interesting options. I tried the Swedish meatballs and they were perfect for lunch. I was glad to sign up to their rewards program as being part of the IKEA family comes with perks (even in the cafeteria) and special prices. My friend and I made of our visit a cultural experience and this location didn't disappoint. read more

Ikea literally tried to kill us today. It's set up like a mouse maze. Occasionally you'll see a white door where you can escape and take a short cut. My daughter had a general idea of what she wanted thank God! They try to entice you to buy more than you want. Eventually when you know what you want, you make another trek to the warehouse where the workers run when you ask for help. We did Dave $50 bucks and put it together ourselves. read more

IKEA - Bookshelf - Furniture Stores Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Always a fairly easy experience from finding, selecting, paying for and on the big stuff, being promptly delivered.

Compared to other IKEA locations I have been to, I was surprised by this, the newest one, anywhere near me. I think their staged room setups are gorgeous and inspired, but the lack of displays of statement items near these staged room setups surprised me. Normally, I've been able to toss more low cost incidental items into my cart as I walk through at other locations. For example, my friend and I both decided on two items, (me, a wall organizer, and for her, an insulated pitcher. These would have been impulse buys for both of us, and by the time we got to the area where we could grab them, we'd already talked ourselves out of needing them. Good for our wallets, but poor marketing/product placement on the store's part. Even the disposable plastic bags I like to get were not placed together. I grabbed some, but not in all sizes. I'm not a fan of only self-checkouts, but I'm bucking the trend and cannot fully blame them. The $3 small lattes my friend bought for us were not all that great. Overall, I'd certainly go back, but I much prefer the Schaumburg location. read more

Worst shopping experience ever!! Beyond asinine ordering processes that management couldn't even complete. First time shopper, wouldn't wish this experience upon anyone. Will absolutely never shop at ikea ever again! read more

Service. What service? The cafe kiosk is bad. Maybe the cafe it self is good but the food we got was so gross that we literally threw it away. 2 meals in the trash. Selection of food in the kiosk was very limited.. value? Probably ok value but considering it was all thrown in the trash I would say $0 value. Now the store itself is absolutely awesome. However, parents need to keep their kids by them and not let them play , jump on the couches or hide in the bed cabinet where there are toys. Common sense people. Tons of products , but it is a tad confusing because you have to actually pick some stuff up you want to buy just before checking out. Kitchen anything is of value as well has the pillows, throw or bedroom or pillows. read more

Now the infamous drawers I've waited for from Ikea have been discontinued. Customer service broke this news to me, but was unable to assure me I could buy the floor sample parts that would complete the $1500+ cabinet that I assembled more that 6 months ago. The best she could offer was a weak suggestion that I should keep checking back because when these discontinuations happen, they are sometimes followed by an improved version under another name. What customer service could not manage was an apology. read more

IKEA - Sleek option for a larger kitchen - Furniture Stores Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Sensory overload! This place is huge overwhelming for a first-timer like me. Luckily I was there with a friend who knew her way around. I was there to look for a coffee table to finish my living room remodel. This store has just about everything you need for your home, as well as things you don't need but you buy anyway, like the dish drying pads I bought, because I guess I didn't think my dish rack was sufficient. If I was there alone, I'm certain I would have gotten lost and/or walked the same area in circles. However, I saw staff members often, so help would have been available if I needed directions. There is a cafeteria with a few Swedish dishes and general American fare. I recommend getting a bottle of water for survival. We were there for four hours - FOUR. I bought a coffee table, two dish drying pads, a bag of frozen plant-based meatballs that I sampled outside their cafeteria and actually liked, and a box of potato pancakes because they were there. There are kiosks if you successfully make it to the self-service area, where you can search for items you want to buy. Most items are on display, so you write down or take a photo of the peice tag that shows you the aisle and bin number where you will find the product you want, just leave those display items on display. The bulk items can be added to your cart, however. I want to point out that the level of service I received from every employee I spoke to was 5-star level, including the gentleman at self-service check-out that encouraged me to sign up for the free Ikea customer rewards program, or something like that. I saved 5% at checkout after the 3 minute process of signing up and entering the text and email verification codes I received, so it was worth it! My one recommendation is to NOT have the same items located in multiple places because first-time customers will think they've walked in a circle and think they may be lost. How many places do you really need to display cooling pads made of cork or small plastic baskets. read more

Great place to get room idea ideas. I love how they have room sections broke out to give you some inspiration, they truly have everything for your home. That said, they are no longer as affordable as they once were. Still a great place to make a stop. There is a food court or grab a hot dog on your way out the door. read more

I was looking for a new tv stand for my home entertainment system with storage that was nice looking but not gaudy like the big chain stores we're offering. I started looking at thrift stores for used furniture that I could convert that was nice looking but I couldn't find anything. I wanted something that was open so the electronics wouldn't over heat and breath vs solid cabinet like offerings but big enough to hide a receiver, DVD player, game console, center speaker, modem, router and some games etc. After all my time driving around and internet research at all the big chain stores that didn't have anything I might like in stock I thought what does IKEA have. IKEA had a perfect tv storage stand that was black metal and brown wood with an open mesh design that was big enough to hide all the electronics and looked like a nice modern furniture piece. The store it self is basically a maze show room that eventually leads to the warehouse where you pick the bigger items. Most of the bigger items are on display in nicely staged rooms so you can see what your item looks like in a real life setting. If you bought an empty house you could literally buy every single item to fill it from the bath mat to the patio furniture. If you know what exactly you want the inventory item on the web is clearly marked with the stock #, aisle # and the bin # so you just go right to it and grab it. I like the concept and the stock levels with the massive selection but the 18 minute check out maze was a downer but it moved with the large amount of people in line. read more

Visited IKEA for the first time in Milwaukee. I was impressed by how massive the store was and loved window shopping at all of the display items. The room setups on display were very cool to watch and it really brought out my inner HGTV side on how I could design my home for better. I had to try the famous IKEA meatballs at the food court and I was not disappointed. They are so good! Overall, IKEA is a dope spot to go to shop for furniture, appliances, or even just to get the food. They also have a cute bucket hat that can up your style! read more

IKEA - Swedish Meatball Plates - Furniture Stores Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

See all

This is ONLY about Ikea kitchen services though the Ikea in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. We've had mixed experiences with Ikea Oak Creek, but we've been Ikea fans for decades, and we've always wanted an Ikea kitchen. So when we bought a condo that needed a kitchen update, we were fully prepared to spend thousands of dollars to purchase new cabinets and accessories from Ikea, and to have them installed by Ikea (actually a company called "Traemand," which advertises itself as Ikea's kitchen planning and installation arm). We did the initial planning ourselves, and Matt at Ikea Oak Creek was a great help with refining our final design using his knowledge of the Ikea product line. But that all went off the rails after we shelled out $79 on an in-home measurement, and then got a shockingly inflated cost estimate from Ikea-Traemand's local subcontractor, R.W. Shaw Construction Services out of Grafton. Granted, we did ask Rick Shaw for quotes on some additional work above and beyond the cabinet work. And I guess it's his prerogative to try to hose us as much as he likes for those items. But you can't do a complete kitchen remodel without (a) removing the old cabinets, and (b) reconnecting the plumbing (sink, faucet, drain line, and dishwasher) after the new cabinets are in. And for those two items alone, Shaw wanted a whopping $2,350. Now, a little quick math shows that $2,350 works out to 117.5 hours of work charged at $20 per hour. To take down less than 20 linear feet of kitchen cabinets, and to reconnect a kitchen sink and dishwasher! Maybe Shaw's people are really slow workers. But I'm guessing most of that $2,350 would have been pure profit. Shaw's info package was also loaded with other booby traps. Such as a penalty clause if there is any part missing from Ikea's delivery of the dozens of packages that contain the cabinet parts and hardware. But wait! Shaw will release you from that liability if you shell out another $250 for them to do an inventory. Pure highway robbery. Long story short, we abandoned the Ikea kitchen remodel route, and we're going to just refinish the existing kitchen cabinets ourselves. We're not happy about it. And we're also angry about throwing away $79 on Shaw's BS estimate. But we figure if Shaw was this brazen up-front, what would they be like once they started uncovering those dreaded "Hidden Site Conditions" that were bound to arise? PS. If you're bound and determined to re-do a kitchen, the ReStore folks from Habitat for Humanity may be willing to come out and remove your old cabinets and haul them off, free of charge. We learned this too late for our project. But honestly, it probably still would not have been enough to allow us do business with Traemand/Shaw. read more

Three stars for the overall experience. The cafe gets 4. The place is still new and getting some kinks out. I'll give them a few more months. Meatball lunch including mashed potatoes, gravy, and veggies for $4.99. Chicken tenders (4 pieces) over fries for $6.99. Great price, great taste, but long line and almost empty dessert section (I was there at noon!) I was told that breakfast is served from 8:30 to 10:30 and that you can't beat their price. I assume the taste is just as good as other Ikea foods. Now, for the showrooms and shopping experience in general, it's pretty much the same Ikea experience as in other cities, except that I felt like there were less products on the floor. Either I had a hard time finding those knick knacks I was looking for, or they discontinued some items I was looking for, they were out of certain items, or they just aren't well stocked yet. In any case, I had a hard time finding things I did find, and didn't find 80% of things I was looking for. It's a big place, but only one floor. And they do have secret passageways here and there if you need a shortcut. Just ask anyone working there and they're nice with telling you how to get there. Some of the workers don't seem to be really knowledgeable yet. Many, if not most, of the furniture at Ikea is very customizable. But as I was walking through, I heard some people asking the staff about certain customizing options being told "no, I don't recommend it". Just out of curiosity, I was lingering and noticing what they were talking about, and knew that the option they were asking for was totally do-able (as per a blogger and youtube I had seen earlier). When I asked my different question to a different staff member, he also told me he didn't recommend it, though he did explain why and gave me some other options. So still, a little hiccups. I'll give them a few months. read more

Its an IKEA! Finally! In Wisconsin! I have visions of being 20-something and flying down I-94 with friends to visit the Chicagoland location. I had a sofa sleeper from here, plant stand, pillows, pictures, lanterns, lights. I loved me some IKEA. But guess what...its still awesome! As others have mentioned, this location did seem a wee bit smaller than other locations, but it's still huge for a home goods- furniture store. Some takeaways: --pale pink is VERY big this spring. IKEA was featuring everything in pale pink. --They offer sections I don't remember from other locations: a cycling gear section ! Pet area! (oh how my cats loved the $7.99 tunnel I bought them. --random little goods are good deals here : huge packs of tea lights, $.79 lint rollers, etc --you can't leave with those yellow shopping bags but you can use a cart to push your haul out to your car. --the one thing that always cracks me up about this place is the random food products in with the other products. so you'll have pans and dishes and then a carton of muffin mix. I guess why not but I'm always thrown by it. I wasn't in the market for furniture but its always nice to get ideas here. Checkouts moved super quick and parking was easy. I'll be back! read more

IKEA - c'mon you know you want an adorable racoon LED light! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

If you've been to an Ikea, any Ikea, you pretty much know what Ikea is all about....no real surprises regarding the merchandise, cost, etc. I'm not going to bore you with all the details of a day shopping. What I am going to do, is present to you the differences and, dare I say, improvements, that this Ikea has over others that I have visited, as well as a tip or two: 1. There's no need to grab a cart right away unless you really want to; there will be an opportunity later.... 2. Sign up for the Friends and Family Membership, especially if you enjoy free cups of coffee (membership is free!) 3. All the vignettes are at the beginning of the store. There are a few items here and there to grab, if you want to, but the vignettes are actually there to show you the many different ways several items can be used. 4. The restaurant is in the middle of the one way path Ikea directs you on.....just in time for resting your feet and filling up your belly before filling up your cart. 5. There are tons....TONS of carts right outside the restaurant....grab a snack or a meal and then grab a cart. 6. All the REAL shopping begins after the restaurant, so get ready to fill that cart you just grabbed. Missed the F&F Membership kiosks? There are some outside the restaurant area....sign up, already! 7. Follow the path, grabbing things along the way, and as you approach the registers, look to the right...the groceries are next to, not across from, the check outs! What? No crossing through registers and paying at the Bistro? Nope! Grab your meatballs and get in line! 8. All that zigging and zagging? You just walked a mile....Ikea got you to exercise, sucker....HA! 9. The pièce de résistance? SHOPPING CART CORRALS IN THE PARKING LOT!!!!! Yes, I meant to shout that! I can take all the stuff that I just bought and can't pronounce directly to my car; get in the trunk, Lurgenhoevenbiskeln! Can you even understand how awesome it is to NOT have to fight everyone else for a loading spot at the building?!?!? Unless you've shopped at Schaumburg, I don't think you can! 10. Ikea has put not-so-hidden doors throughout the vignettes so that once you have the layout of the store memorized, you can cut through the vignettes and get on with the shopping....other locations have these hidden doors too, but when you use them, you actually miss whole departments...... Sorry, not sorry, but I am a die hard Ikea fan. I'm not crazy enough to line up at 5 or even 9 am, but I am crazy enough to show up on opening day, and I'm glad I did! Parking was a breeze by early afternoon, the store was bustling, but easy to navigate and see everything, and the checkout lines weren't long at all. This being opening week, I would probably avoid the store on the weekend, but during the week, you shouldn't have any problems. I heart you, IKEA, and I don't care who knows it! 18/2018 read more

This company seriously needs to figure out what customer service is and how to communicate with their customers. As of today, I will NEVER buy anything here again. Our most recent purchase had missing parts, back ordered parts, incorrect instructions, minor damage and didn't go together as advertised. But, what's really upsetting is the customer support on line or on the phone is completely non existent and anything you are told about lead times and availability a complete made up mess. STAY AWAY! read more

IKEA - Our cabinet design! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Milwaukee, are you ready for the Ikeapocalypse? Because it's coming for us....it's coming for all of us. The Oak Creek IKEA opens this week and we were lucky enough to snag a pass for a pre-opening shopping day. If you've been to the Schaumburg location - well - it's not quite the same thing. I'm estimating this one has about 1/4 to 1/3 the space. It's one level only and all foot traffic is one way. The aisles and the room vignettes are small and the shopping route is a literal maze of twists and turns. They told us they're expecting something like 20,000 people on opening day which sounds like a literal hell on earth. Even with the very limited shoppers today, it was still kind of a mess. One idiot with a cart can cause a huge roadblock. Plan on traffic jams both inside and out. That said, IKEA excels at stylish, reasonably priced home goods. My personal favorite things are: *Wooden hangers - $4 for 8! *Napkins. Seriously, IKEA has the best napkins and they are cheap! *Glassware - there are endless styles *Wrapping paper!! *Cutting boards. You should replace them regularly and IKEA has cheap ones *Duvet covers - freshen up your bedroom for just $30-40! *Bookcases - nice looking basics that get the job done. *Swedish meatballs - dine in or grab a pack to take home! The furniture is hit or miss - but we've had an IKEA bedroom set for close to 20 years and it's holding up just fine. Obviously, it's all KD, so be ready to get to know the Allen wrench well. If all this shopping wears you down, there's the famous IKEA restaurant, serving up cheap meals to get you back on your feet. The employees working today were unfailingly chipper, pleasant and eager to welcome customers to their new store. We'll see how long that lasts! Overall - I think the store design is pretty bad but I love the products and prices - and I really love not having to drive down to Chicago. My next visit will be after the hype dies down - so see you in 6 months, IKEA! read more

Ikea is an interesting place. I like it. There are rooms set up with everything inside for sale. You can handle things and sit on things and get a feel for things. Open the drawers, lift the cup and plop into the couch. The parking lot is huge and we found a spot and went in. There is a maze feeling inside where you follow arrows that guide you through the departments. It's a lot of walking (in case you're taking anyone elderly with you). In time, I would think, I would want to figure out a cheat path or easy in and out so that you could get where you want without having to do the whole maze. Items are clearly marked. Some need to be written down so you can pick them up from the area they are stocked in before check out. Others can be grab and go. They have food at the very end for purchase and take home. They have a cafeteria style eating area that has their ever popular Swedish meatballs - yes we had some. :) yummy. It's also a pretty area to sit and eat with a big window on one side to view the outside and allow the sunshine in. I bought a hanging planter and plant and pillows. I feel like you need some time to really see it all and take it all in. Check out is a large area and there are no shopping bags. You can purchase an ikea blue bag there for fairly cheaply- under $3. It holds a lot and you might need it if you get a lot. Carts can be taken outside and returned in stalls outside as well. The rooms are inspiring and make you want to paint and redesign your own room. There are lots of colors/design choices to make you feel happy, cool, modern, interested. It's fun to see. Head over and have an Ikea experience. read more

I'm really impressed by the way opening day was handled by ikea staff and the police who were directing traffic. I arrived around 5pm and expected a bit of a traffic jam, or at least a wait to get into the lot, but I was able to drive right in and was directed to an open parking spot. The store is just a single level, unlike what I'm used to in Schaumburg. It's laid out in a brightly lit continuous maze of home goods. All the products are arranged in that colorful, modern display style that IKEA is known for. Every turn is a feast for the eyes! For all that this store holds, I feel as if it's not as well stocked with offerings. I was in search of certain items that couldn't be located and I was told to try searching online I was hoping to find some shelves and really was let down by what was a very small selection. Maybe I missed some sections. Maybe they've streamlined their wares. I'm not sure. But for all my wandering around, I was left wanting more. I didn't get a chance to check out the cafeteria or snack stand on the way out, but you'd better believe I bought some meatballs and lingonberry jam from their grocery to take home! I love that IKEA is close. I love their helpful staff. I really loved the speed of the checkout. And I adored the young lady who was making the best of directing traffic with some funky dance moves. You go girl! I will be back, and I will enjoy it. I just hope they didn't miss the mark with the smaller store. read more

I was there today for an invite only event. The store looks great and if you've been to IKEA you know what to expect. This location is one story but older stores are two. They have a mix of inexpensive items and higher end, something for everyone. We had lunch there and the meals are affordable and taste great. It's nothing fancy but not fast food either. Plenty of vegetarian options as well! I believe the veggie wrap is vegan but I'm not sure. Be prepared for waiting in line to get food or checkout. We were there 3 hours and waited 30 minutes to buy lunch and 30 to checkout. This will probably change as time goes on but it's not a fast process typically based on other locations I've been to. The employees are still getting the hang of everything but were all friendly and helpful. I'll be back soon but I might hit it up on a weekday or wait until the craziness is over after the grand opening. read more

Where's does one start for this review? If it's your first time make sure that you leave plenty of time to navigate through the store At least an hour for a walk through if you just glance over everything and don't really stop to look at anything. If you grab a cart, you will be sliding since the traction between the floor and cart is kinda weird. So if you're with an older person " be careful ". There's arrows on the floor as to the direction and flow of the store. So if you just need one item, you will have to go through several departments/section to get to what you need Plus a flow chart as to where you are in the store hanging above you in different sections of the store. I noticed no seating areas if needed for customers who can't really walk the whole store. Check out area is confusing for first time shoppers Not all sections had an employee when needed so be be ready to go " looking for one" and may not be knowledgeable about the particular section either You will enter the store in one Door and exit a different location so park your car accordingly if need be. read more

I mean how did it take me this long to go to ikea? Finally being a homeowner myself, this place almost scares me. I want everything! They do a great job of displaying the countless layouts and items, offering options for all home-types and personal styles. It's definitely fun to walk around and gather ideas, but be prepared, the walk-around takes a good chunk of time. This place is massive, yet orderly. There are plenty of staff members around willing to help as well. Oh and incase you get hungry mid-shop, there is a dang cafeteria in the place! Plenty of Swedish fare on offer. We left without purchasing anything on site, but we'll surely be back. I've ordered a few items in the past however, and the only bummer is having to assemble it all on your own. My husband and I agreed the prices are definitely fair, but some of the product can be a tad on the flimsy side. All in all, this place is a home owners dreamland! read more

I. Love. Ikea.....my wallet has other thoughts I was soo excited when I heard the news we were getting an Ikea in our back yard in SE WI! As a recent home owner I've made many trips to this location! From bedroom, living room, to kitchen and home decor, I own something in each area! And no one has ever called out it's from Ikea--select pieces that blend well with your decor. They seem to have varying degrees of quality for their furniture; more $ spent on a piece = looks less like it came from Ikea. Plus there are many 'hacks' on the internet that allow you to "upgrade" your Ikea furniture for minimal cost. Do pack your patience for a day of assembly of your latest purchase! It's more affordable furniture for a reason, since you're the builder now! I have had some missing pieces and the store was able to provide me with those. Returning items has been seamless with their great policy and majority of the time I get a very friendly clerk! PS. Plant lovers check out their live plant area, you won't be disappointed! read more

Okay so I thought all the hate were projected from people that had never experienced an IKEA before or newbs that were upset with how the concept of shopping at IKEA works but after spending an afternoon there, the low ratings were validated. This IKEA is only one level so it's harder to break away from congestion in each different departments. There's no room to escape and you just have to make your way along the maze to get to what you're looking for. Unlike most IKEAs, many of the items are not available to be added to your cart from the display shelves, you have to get them from the self-serve warehouse area. This is usually common for big ticket items like tables, bed frames, etc. But oh no, this location makes you go to the warehouse section for even bar stool covers. Ridiculousness. read more

Meh. I'm not understanding the hype honestly. This was my very first Ikea experience. I was happy to hear that one was coming to the area because I hear great things about their stuff and the meatballs/food. You know what I appreciated?! It gave me new styling ideas. Other than that, it was mostly a waste of time for us. We went in hopes there would be an outdoor section. When we hadn't seen one, we asked one of the MANY employees that were around. She said that this store decided not to bother with an outdoor section because they opened so late in the season..... I'm sorry, what? Uhhhh, come again?! We went in May and they opened in May! Is that not primetime for outdoor furniture and decor?! I found that completely absurd and we were disappointed. Not to mention the food was absolutely atrocious. Completely inedible. We didn't even finish our food. We couldn't believe how many people were actually eating their food. Maybe because my wife is a chef we have higher standards but not really; we still eat bologna sandwiches! This was just awful. We did get a few decor/accent items that I liked and felt were priced decently. I can appreciate the set up of rooms to see how the furniture can all fit together. They made cheap stuff look very modern and chic. All of the couches and beds were so low, I'm not sure it would be ideal for tall people. I can appreciate everything being at the end so that you don't have to lug everything around while you're browsing. The cashier and lady behind us were not paying attention at all. So when I was packing everything, I noticed that there were things that we definitely did not buy and it wasn't until I pointed it out that the cashier was like, oh. So then we had to walk all the way to the customer service area to get our money back. That was irritating as going to Ikea is exhausting enough. There's absolutely no other reason for us to return to Ikea ever, more than likely. However I can see how this would be a prime place to get cheap furniture if you're young and just starting out. We don't have any furniture from ikea, but we did in college. To each her own. read more
