Omg .... I have never been in IKEA!!!! I understand that you are required to assemble products. But... I liked the fact that washable slipcovers are offered. I will be searching for locations near Orlando. read more

Oh what an adventure you can have at IKEA! When you first enter this ginormous store they have carts for your toddler and a check in area for your older children (height requirement noted on the wall). The food in the little cafe is cheap and tasty. My kids love having lunch here as it is very child friendly. The store can be super overwhelming, especially on the weekend when it's full of people and the lines are long. But today, much like other week days we had a great time exploring room to room and playing in the children's department. Even the lines at check out were quick! Our favorite items to purchase here are small furniture items (big ones are too complicated for me), kitchen utensils, home decor and rugs (especially for the play room since they must be replaced frequently). Oh and don't forget to grab a delicious chocolate bar with hazelnuts!!! read more

What is not to like about IKEA. Love their organization stuff. Love walking through the venues and getting ideas.

Social distancing post Covid was nonexistent in the store today. Total mess! Everyone was on top of one another and walking in all directions in the show room. Staff was not directing or asking people to social distance nor keep one way traffic flow. Very poorly organized. read more

I will try to come back to update my review when this IKEA location fully opens up again, because I feel like the current situation with COVID may be having a lot of impact on the way this store is ran/operated. I have been to maybe two other IKEA stores, and this one SEEMS to be the largest (more showrooms? Maybe, maybe not. I think they are all relatively the same size) as it took us the longest to get through, however, we found a lot of items throughout our journey that we had wished to purchase, yet once we got to the bottom floor, NOTHING was in stock! I was shocked to see that they didn't even have can openers. Which again, I feel like they are having issues fulfilling orders and keeping items in stock due to the current situation. That being said, if you're not familiar with IKEA, you should most DEFINITELY go for a visit. Your mind will be blown. IKEA is very family oriented, and focuses on making shopping easier and more affordable for young families. You take a tour through the entire warehouse, exploring various showrooms, and you're guaranteed to find something for everyone's sense of style here. With the DIY concept, at the end of your visit, you purchase your furniture to build it yourself (or hire a task rabbit to help you!) as added treats, there are many quirks to shopping here, including free childcare (when it opens again) and even a food court halfway through the store that serves up those awesome Swedish meatballs everyone has been talking about! As of right now the food court is closed though. But until then, I'm pretty sure they sell certain items from the food court downstairs in the bistro, in the coolers/freezers for you to take home and enjoy. read more

Ikea is middle of the road for me. Pros: Great return policy, food in store is always a plus, some of the products are truly built to last if you pick the right things, staff are friendly, and a huge selection for your entire home. I have a dinnerware set and some cooking utensils as well as bookshelves that are still in great shape. Con: Some items are cheaply made and overpriced. You have to watch what you purchase. Quality of certain items is a major con for me. Overall, it's a great place to shop for items you need for your home, but pay close attention to certain items like furniture before you decide to buy. The upside is you could probably return it anyway. read more

Never never order online with IKEA. I have been waiting over a month for a dresser that I paid for and still haven't received it! You can't get through with the phone number they provide and have to resort to Twitter to get any help. I made arrangements to have it deliver an a Saturday twice now and today is Saturday 2/3/2018 and I still have nothing to show for the money I paid! I strongly suggest you do NOT order from their online platform. They say it's easy to order online and have it delivered to your door. More like it's easy to take your money with no accountability on their end to help you. I feel it's false advertising in my opinion. At this point I would rather they refund all my money and keep the dresser. Sincerely, Extremely disappointed customer read more

We decided to go to IKEA on a Sunday. I know, I know, what we're we thinking? Wouldn't it be crazy busy? Well, we arrived just after it opened and while it was busy, it did not feel crowded. We parked near the exit and then walked over to the entrance. This is all a mind game because essentially we are walking the same distance either way, but on the way out we will, in theory, be pushing a cart with our purchases, so we saved energy. Or at least this is what we tell ourselves. Told ya it was all a mind game. We knew we were going to be making a Farley large purchase today as we needed a dining room table and Uncle Sam gave us our tax return. Let's be honest, we aren't the only ones spending more this time of year. :-) We did this trip with our three year old and IKEA has a great kid area that was CLOSED TODAY, whomp, whomp, whomp. They were removing all the ball pit balls, not sure what that means for the future of the kids area. It wasn't an easy trip, but he did pretty good helping us out. The hardest part about IKEA is it is basically a rat maze. Normally, I am okay with it, but with a toddler that needs to go potty every few minutes, it was not fun. There are short cuts and things, but toddlers are not known for their patience. We managed to find a dining table, chairs, a curio, and two night stands. For under the price of just a table at a typical furniture store. We were bummed they only had this table in black as a brown color would have been better, but we will live. When we checked out, we were able to save money from our lunch. Basically if you go eat at the restaurant before shopping, you "save" that same amount from a purchase over $100. Essentially, you get your meal for free!!! I am all about the free stuff! We had Swedish meatballs meal, chicken meatballs meal, and chicken tender kid meal. They were all delicious! Pro Tip: if you have a kid and need a bib, plastic utensils (smaller than their metal ones), a bottle warmer, microwave, or toaster, they have them all in their food court area upstairs! I have never seen this at any other food establishment and love it. I was sad to see the kid friendly food area was no longer in the food court area. There used to be kids tables and a tv in a section where parents could sit at an adult table. If you made it this far, kudos to you. I know that was a lot of random facts. Here is another one, check out the "AS IS" area to the far right just before the check out area. There are many hidden diamonds in the rough there. Floor models for sale, or anything returned. I have found some great things there throughout the years. One last tip! If you ever lose a screw, lose a dowel, need instructions, or a part gets damaged, you can get it from the parts area which is also at the guest services area. I have gotten these items sometimes free or for a very low cost. It is just past the cashier area on the right or to the left of coming in the exit. Happy shopping! Ikea is truly an experience! read more

If I could give this location 0 rating I would. Firstly, THERE IS NO RETURN For REFUND. The employees will get you to buy their shitty beds claiming there is 365 days of return... Its bullshit. They will also not pick up your bed if you want to return it so prepare for some heavy lifting on your own. When you try to call the locations and there are no direct phone numbers for them. When you try to get a hold of an agent on the phone and the all the lines are busy FOR THREEE MONTHS ?????? Ridiculous. I am never shopping here ever again. read more

They brag about their return policy and how wonderful it is; that it's no nonsense but it's the BIGGEST joke EVER! It's a scam! They need to re-evaluate their policy. They will say there is a scratch or a piece of dust on it and they can't return it. BEWARE of buying ANYTHING from this place. What a joke! I'll NEVER return to this store. read more

Ordered 2 of the gray 63 inch Havsta TV stands online for pick up at the Orlando IKEA because Tampa didn't have them in stock and I needed it right away so that we could entertain during the holidays. They are beautiful, the pricing is amazing. They are heavy solid wood and match our new home perfectly. For reference our TV is a 75 inch. The two stands are combined to look like one piece. read more

What's to say about IKEA that hasn't already been pontificated upon? The showroom is outlandishly slick, the furniture hilariously terrible (as I type this on my Fyorntig desk and look at textbooks on my Kvarshlok bookshelf) with the worst assembly instructions ever, but their cheap, modern look meshes with my decor, so I love these Swedes. Even if you're not going to buy anything, just looking and enjoying the bedlam is reason enough to go here. Plus, the cafe is dirt-cheap with lunch for two coming in under $15. Not enough cheap food for ya? After the registers, get some cinnamon buns, 6 for $4. And a hot dog for the road. And a slice of pizza. And a Barfslamp. read more

It's a love hate relationship !!! Love the modern look and ideas!! Quality, for what you pay! I can live with that. Yes, not all is perfect at IKEA but I will always be there costumer ! Can you please offer more and better food at the restaurant!! Especially for non meat eaters please!!! read more

Very difficult return system. You have to download an app, then join their club, then sign in, then wait for a code to be texted to you, then put the code in and get a number! I arrived with a very large mirror so I had to put the mirror on the floor to do all this. There were only 3 people returning so after all the work they made me do I was called in for my return. I was planning on making additional purchases but after that crazy return process I decided to stop by The Container Store for my purchases. I spoke to a store manager who claimed "everyone loved this system". I told her a guy returning something after me couldn't believe their process either. He did NOT look like he loved the return system. I won't bother buying from IKEA again. read more

Wow. Love the stuff. Hate the customer service and delivery service. Spent over $1500 in store for delivery. The sales rep in the store was excellent, confirming all information, showing and confirming the next day delivery window, and the whole procedure. None of it happened. Instead, I get a cryptic call saying order cannot be delivered and to be rescheduled. I had two numbers to call. Neither were identified as Ikea numbers but instead went to two cell numbers which were never answered nor did anyone return messages from the voicemails left. I'm cured. I'lll head down there tomorrow and get a full refund. I should be thankful I am spared from Ikea assembly hell and I will just go to a more traditional store and order the rest from Amazon online. Adios Ikea. read more

I absolutely love this place! One of the places to spend a day off with my husband. So many stuff with very affordable prices. So far, we have bought a bed frame, a night stand, two dressers and a book shelf. So far nothing wrong with the products. I think they are sturdy and very stylish If you do not mind assembling, this place has a lot to offer. If you are in the grocery section you have to get the swedish meatball and gravy in the big bag. If you want to try at the food court, they sell the meatball with gravy and a side of mashed potato with cranberry sauce. They are usually $2.99 but sometimes $1.99! I have to get them everytime we go there. read more

even if you're not shopping for a specific item, Ikea is a great place to go for inspiration. They have simply an amazing if not overwhelming selection of products for home. Heck, just come here and but a complete room decorated by Ikea designers. The restaurant is also good eats. Love the Swedish meatballs, extra gravy and french fries! Don't go if you're tired. Also, keep an eye for shortcuts around the massive store. I meant to review this as a store and not as a restaurant. The restaurant is fine, 3 stars - a place to go several times and they have many promotions for budget minded folks. As for the store, I'd give it 4 stars. read more

Aside from Ikea being a little bit of a maze to get through ( I have become a MASTER at the cut throughs) IKEA is full of great ideas & pretty much everything you need for making your home efficient and swanky! I've hit IKEA hard lately to make my downsize affordable and adorable. Great linens & bedding, shelving units, kitchen wares, decor.... Love the Ikea family card! Special deals, discounts & free coffee/tea with every visit. I didn't think Ikea would be a destination to eat/ snack...I was wrong. Awesome fro-yo for a dollar! I'm a fan. I'll gladly hit up Ikea for whatever I can, be it home necessities or a quick lunch/snack :) **I wish this place had been around when I threw wedding & baby showers a whole bunch. Awesome ideas for decorating and favors. read more

I'm just here for the food while my wife does some shopping. This is a quick trip, no time for their delicious Swedish Meatballs, so I had to settle for a Cinnamon Bun sold down by the registers. For the price of just $1 it is a sweet deal. read more

IKEA - Cinnamon Bun - Furniture Stores Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Though I only shop here occasionally, I really like this place. Always filled with a lot of cute, useful household items. The upper floor at this location features staged rooms for display of their furniture and other household items. I'm not too much of a fan of the pointy rectangular furniture style , but I see how others like it. The store definitely feature is an array of funky modern styles. Their furniture kind reminds me of dorm furniture. My favorite part of the store is the lower level where they have a wide variety an assortment of their individual items categorized for each part of the house. There, I can pick and choose what I want manually without having to order anything in advance. The items sold here are trendy and practical to suit your household needs. There are some items featured here that I can never find anywhere else. My favorite part are the storage items, especially for the bathroom, closets and kitchen. There's not much more here that I can say about the store that isn't already advertised in their catalogs/website. I would not recommend coming in here if you are looking for a quick in and out shopping experience as this place is a maze to go through. Luckily, there are shortcuts, but even those may not be long enough to get out of the store at a convenient time. Be mindful of the check out wait during weekends and holidays. They tend to be a bit understaffed during off season times. Another warning is to bring your own shopping bag as they do not provide them at the checkout counter. I would recommend that you reserve about two hours of your time before setting foot in here. That has been my estimated maximum time spent in the store, whether you are just windowshopping or really looking for something specific. You might end up getting an item or two no matter what. :-) read more

Seriously turn the radio down. I can't even concentrate to calculate any measurements for my project while I am here. Sadly, one of the employees told me she complains all the time and IKEA doesn't listen. All the shopping carts go east and west instead of forward. How am I suppose to navigate? When your pushing a heavy load it's impossible to navigate unless u are super strong person. I wish this would be addressed. The return desk is very helpful but the general floor is nearly impossible to find help. I wish IKEA would seriously address it flaws. Just because you have decent pricing doesn't mean we will go out of our way to shop. Customer Service is so important. read more

This is just a store, it's not a religious place of worship. They won't really 'improve your life'. They are there to take your money and sell give stuff in return. Having said that, as far as stores go, it's a pretty good one. They give you pretty high-quality stuff and don't take too much of your money. When you go, put on your walking shoes, take your own bags (or you'll have to buy them), don't go on an empty stomach, and plan to be there a while. By design, there is no way to get in and out quickly. read more

Solid place with great food! Have a kids area, dining zone, too many checkouts that are usually unoccupied, many areas with a variety of home decorations ranging from wine glasses to TV stands- a critical need. Service was quiet, not exactly being rude or nice, just doing their job. They had a escalator, another critical need. They had a floor like the ones you see in a warehouse, but it was somewhat clean. This was overall pretty good for a superstore. If you need furniture this is the place to be read more

I arranged a return pick up for a $400 item as it was a manufacture defect. Ikea's personnel picked up the item on November 13th but no refund was ever issued. I've spoken to customer service three times - once a week for three weeks - and each time another excuse is given. Each time, they confirm the item was picked up, but say the company they hired did not deliver it to Ikea so no refund. Most recently, the CS personnel sent the issue to her manager, and still nothing. Nothing. Today I've called twice and each time, the customer service line disconnects the call as they are 'too busy.' I've been a decades-long shopper of Ikea both stateside and in Europe. This is the worst experience I've ever had. read more

I liked the items they have there- good price and modern looking design. But every time it took a long time for me to check out. This trip I got a frame and 3 other kitchen items. I saw they have 20+ registers, only 4 opened. Each line stood more than 10 customers, the management didn't bother open more registers. And there were no "less than 10 items express lane" nor "self-check out" lane. One lady in my line ran into credit card problem, the cashier took 10 minutes + still can't solve it. People waited on the line losing their patient (including me), some of them yielding "angry and hungry" (it was lunch time). Finally manager came and opened a new register. It wasted 25 minutes of my time to pay for the 4 items. The lady right in front of me only bought one $2 shower curtain and 30 minutes of her precious time was wasted in waiting. No wonder the retail are losing ground to on-line shopping. Check out system need improvement for IKEA. read more

I was excited about making a good review. However, I am back here at 8:45pm to get the remainder of what I need. Purchased a platform bed and asked if the slats came with the set. I was told they did. I get home, my boyfriend gets everything set up and there are no slats. I called customer service and was on hold the entire 29 mins it took me to get here. No one ever picked up the phone. I probably should have asked another sale associate when I grabbed all the boxes. The first girl that helped me was in a rush to get me going so that's probably why she said the slats were already included. The sales associate next to her was complaining about being at work for 3 hours and not given a break. Doesn't seem like the employees have good attitudes about being at work. I could have let all that go and probably would have written a good review had the associates been more helpful. read more

I love Ikea a lot. I have ordered my entire room from there. There is a downside. I have been ordering since 2019, and every time it comes late. I got my sister(loves IKEA too) some furniture for her new home. It came so late that they just went to the local furniture store and bought a bedframe etc. I love them and will continue to order, but it always comes late. read more

I am very disappointed with IKEA, I was a die hard IKEA fan but they have disappointed me! I tried to order some small items and they were going to charge me $50 in delivery charges. The closest pick up store is in Orlando since Tampa does not provide curbside. I tried calling and they ended up saying they had high volume calls and hung up on me - no cue for waiting. Come on! its May 21st, 2020 and they could be opening in states that have lifted their orders like other big stores. They have failed in their customer service and may have lost a customer! read more

I bought a dining table with an extendable leaf. Had to hire someone to put it together. The item is missing the instruction manual as well as TONS of hardware. Tried IN VAIN to reach Ikea in Tampa as well as corporate headquarters, Left voice mails with corporate that were UNANSWERED!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! After 15 calls to the Tampa Ikea I finally reached an actual human being who placed me on hold to look for a manual & hardware. I asked her in the event we get disconnected (imagine that ??) to please call me back. Lo & behold the call was dropped and OF COURSE no call back. At this point I just want to cry!! I remember a time when customers were a VALUED part of a business. Sadly, those days are long gone!! read more

I loved this store when it opened, but due to mismanagement it's sunk to new lows. Scandinavian food selection used to be good, now it's nearly non existent. What meager food offerings they have need to be brought to the snack bar for check out. I lost an item I paid for due the check out employee never pushed it back beyond the COVID plastic screen. Sorry IKEA, you lost a bunch of customers here in Tampa. read more

November 3 2022. I had an awful experience today when returning a bed frame. Manager wouldn't accept the return because item was "soiled" (I have pictures showing otherwise) and then said manager CALLED SECURITY on me--in my opinion this escalation was uncalled for and made me afraid a physical altercation would ensue (what if guard was armed? would they physically remove me?). As a minority man, I am conscious of how quickly things can turn for the worse when a basic dispute is escalated unnecessarily. Already filed complaints with FTC and State of Florida. Never shopping here again! read more

I don't know what I can say about IKEA that hasn't already been said. I furnished my entire apartment top to bottom at IKEA for just about a grand. Well, technically that was at the Orlando location, but I wound up having to return a bunch of stuff and the Tampa location is much closer to me now. In fact, two weeks in a row I had to return items to Ikea and I wound up being waited one by the same guy - he had a terrible haircut and beard, but he was actually pretty cool. One of the little end tables with drawers I was returning kind of fell apart in the car - I didn't think they'd refund the full value, but sure enough they did! Wow! I've been to this particular store at least four or five times now. It's soooooo much better than the Orlando store because it's so much easier to access. Just take Exit 2 off I-4, then take another exit after that and the store is literally right there! It really couldn't be any easier to access unless the ramp went right into the parking lot. Getting back ON I-4 is a bit of a pain, though becuase you have to go trawl through all these blocks that have been under construction apparently since the Carter administration. Anyway, the Tampa location is definitely better than the Orlando store. If you live along the I-4 corridor, I'd recommend going here instead since it's easier to access, there is way more parking, and the lines have always seemed to move much more quickly than another other store. I haven't dined at the cafeteria, though I always try to pick up some chocolate and drinks and they're always good. No point in commenting on the actual store inventory because it's been done to death by now. This is a great place to get furniture and housewares. Some of it is comparable to Walmart or Target in price, but much higher quality and of course in cache. read more

Returns understaffed. They mess up in ringing up purchase and then really slooooooooow in returns.

Customer service is terrible. I placed a sizable order online for "Click and Collect" only to find because one $5 item wasn't in stock they cancelled the entire 60+ item order. Yes, they did attempt to call, but we were making breakfast at the time and didn't make it to the phone in time. They never sent an email which is how I received confirmation of the order. I spent the rest of the morning trying to call them back - no one ever answered at the local store. I left multiple messages, tried the 888 number which was "experiencing a high volume of calls" and would just disconnect me. Finally we drove down there (we live 45 minutes away) only to be told, sorry nothing we can do. If you want, you can re-order all your items but you'll have to find a computer or sit on your phone and do it yourself, even though we have an itemized list sitting right here in front of us with your order number on it. The manager, April, was incredibly rude and unhelpful - acted like we were bothering her from the start and it was my fault - Why did you come? Did you receive a message from us that your order is ready? No! I received a message that my order would be ready after 11 and then never heard anything again and then spent the next three hours trying to get in touch with a human being!! Only to be stuck talking to a manager with no concept of customer service. Ikea is a great place to spend looking at home ideas and getting a cup of coffee but as far as customer service - they could care less read more

First, I'd like to say my family and I have been shopping with Ikea for 20+ years; in multiple locations and states. My most recent purchase with Ikea was absolutely horrible. I visited the Tampa, Fl store on August 4, 2018 to make a fairly large purchase. Since I was buying some large items I applied for the Ikea Credit Card to receive the free delivery to my home. I was purchasing two mattresses, box spring, bed frame, and bookshelf. The sales associate (Gio) in the bed/mattress department was very distracted and kept walking away from me to start my order before I had decided on what I was actually purchasing. Because of this, and their lack of focus this caused me to not order everything I needed. For the box spring and mattress I got, I stated that I was going to have the box spring on the floor with no legs and no one told me that I would need the support leg due to the size of the mattress (queen). I thought that the support beam would be on the floor as well. Next, when I placed the order downstairs they did not tell me I would need the support leg either. About an hour after I left Ikea, I received an email stating that the bed frame I ordered was out of stock and I would be issued a gift card for the amount of purchase - after I had put my entire plus purchase on the Ikea Credit Card. (Which makes absolutely no sense) At that point when I called customer service the wait time was 90 minutes. I did not have that kind of time to sit on hold. The next day August 5, I drove back to Ikea Tampa and spoke with Trish in the returns/exchange department who was extremely helpful and told me the bed frame I ordered would be back in stock Tuesday and added to my order, which would be delivered the following Monday August 13. The day of my expected delivery finally arrives and all that is delivered is the bed frame! What the heck, Ikea?! Where is the rest of my order? We then proceeded to waste 8 hours between two days waiting on hold for Ikea and the shipping company XPO. We kept getting run away in circles with no clear answer. Why was this my responsibility? I did not loose the delivery? And all everyone had to say about the situation was "I don't know". The rest of my ordered was not found and delivered until Wednesday (which might not seem like a big deal) but I had to take time off work to wait for both deliveries and make all these calls and wait on hold for hours on end. All Ikea did for this situation was issue me a $75 gift card. That isn't going to pay my $1500+ Credit Card bill. That isn't going to get my time back. That isn't going to make up for my missed days at work. I am very disappointed with my last visit and purchase with Ikea. I don't know how soon I will visit again. Or recommend Ikea to friends and family. read more

How do you not like this place. Well if you hate walking and shopping I know how. Fun place to spend the day looking at cool gadgets and furniture and bookshelves and lamps and bedding and knives and toys and office furniture and blinds and pans and linens and kitchen ideas and stoves and beds and curtains and rugs and can openers and picture frames and tables and chairs and forks and placemats and ........ you get it. I like shopping here but you can easily end up buying crap you don't need or something that looked cool there but terrible at your home. read more
