For lining up twice in two different check out because they are too busy to put credit card only sign

Like all ikea stores, this one is also a maze. However, it's always neat and fully stocked. The only complaint I have is that some of the people on the floor aren't outwardly trying to help you or interact with you. However, the people at the cash register and the pick up area are always friendly! read more

It's nice to come here it reminds me when we lived in Germany for so many years. Shopping experience is so much like being in Europe again. I love all the things they sell here it's reasonable. Just don't really like coming when I have to fight the Saturday shopping crowds. But still going to shop nonetheless. If I had a bigger vehicle with me I know I would probably get more unnecessary things. I will definitely keep in mind the way the kitchen is set up is how I want my kitchen to look like once I renovate. read more

WORST IKEA we have ever visited!! Dirty, not, filthy parking area. The employees have an authoritative attitude, bosing you around and not very helpful. The whole store looks like it is closing down, the lack of merchandise is outstanding. Not worth coming to this IKEA, will nevee teturn. read more

I am not that keen on IKEA. It is big, loud, and annoying! I hate the music they play and the layout of the store and most of all that most of the merchandise is made in China and of questionable quality. When they first opened IKEA in the US I thought it was a neat place to go, especially to grab some Scandinavian food in the store and a bite to eat in the cafe. read more

I came in today to return two items purchased on Labor Day. I threw my receipts away during helping my son move and was worried I would be hassled or given store credit. Latisha who works in returns was amazing. She was kind and understanding and very helpful. My return was hassle free and very much appreciated. read more

Great place to find affordable furniture and other home decor as opposed to over-priced name brand stores in the area. Their furniture is great quality and usually easy to assemble. Their cafeteria they have is also very convenient. The food is decent and will definitely not charge you an arm and a leg. Definitely my go-to place for the majority of things I need. read more

IKEA really sucks! I have my order placed on September 3rd, and the estimated delivery date was scheduled on Sep. 17th. Now it has been 3 weeks from the date the order was placed, and has been a WHOLE WEEK from the estimated delivery date, my furnitures haven't even be delivered to the warehouse of the delivery company! Will never shop at this fucking company anymore! read more

Hubs and I were on a wonderful adventure, driving around - checking out leaves, trying to get our NoVa bearings...all that good stuff - when we got really hungry. It was an off time (about 3:30 - 4 PMish?) and since we also just happened to remember that we were thinking of replacing a bureau, so IKEA popped into our minds! We knew there was an IKEA in College Park area (hubs had stayed at the Holiday Inn nearby there for work before) but checked Google maps to see if there was a NoVa location - success! To Woodbridge! Pulling up, we were impressed by the set-up of the building/parking area; very much more organized than its Orlando brethren. We were expecting TOTAL madness, as the highway had been pretty much a mess en route, but surprisingly, it wasn't bad at all. We found a parking spot near the stairwell in the garage and headed right up to the IKEA restaurant. Two swedish meatball meals: $3.99 apiece, Chocolate overload cake: $3.99 (and for a limited time, get a second dessert FREE!) = AWESOME early dinner! Mmmm... Oh, so after our odd-timed meal, we browsed - didn't buy anything today, but enjoyed our experience nonetheless. Will definitely return again at a off -time to enjoy low crowds! read more

Let me start with: I hate Ikea. I think that the furniture is extremely overpriced for the quality. An I have some support on that. When I was just out of college, I ended up a a friends apartment with a group of people that included a woman from Sweden. When my friend pointed out everything she had from Ikea and how she wanted to furnish her whole apartment from Ikea, the Swedish woman asked why she liked cheap furniture. She didn't mean cheap in price. Actually, she didn't use the word cheap, but I'm not sure I can used that word that she did use on Yelp. All that being said, this Ikea isn't too bad. On a Saturday morning, just short of noon, it wasn't very crowded. That's always a plus for me. The staff was more helpful than I've ever seen in an Ikea. Of course, the prices are outrageous and you still need to go on a forced march through the store to actually find anything, but as a whole, I wouldn't refuse to go there again. Now let's see if the night stands actually go together correctly. read more

Ikea means "All your credit card limit belongs to me" in English. It's true. Just make sure you save some cash though for the swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes for $2.99 upstairs. read more

First of all, you don't just go to IKEA. That doesn't happen. A trip to IKEA is a pilgrimage through all that is house and home. It can be quite overwhelming for the ill-prepared. Make sure you go here with at least one other friend, maybe even two because you'll need all the hands you can get as well as someone to push a second cart! You might end up buying things you didn't know you needed, but they probably won't cost you very much and will most likely make you smile at a later date haha. I have a good amount of the kitchen ware from here - some cutlery, pots and pans, and a bowl or two. All stuff that has lasted me a few years and since I've treated them with respect, should continue to do so in the future. I also even have sheets and a comforter from IKEA that have served me well in the past three years, keeping me warm and snuggly in bed every night. I also happened to have a Malm bedside table that must've been $30-50, an obvious steal for a "classy" looking piece. When I get home, I'm pretty happy to get a chance to use my hands and put something together, which makes the whole IKEA experience a little bit more fun. IKEA furniture reminds me of my childhood and playing with Legos - just like those, IKEA doesn't give you written instructions, you use pictures to figure out how to put everything together. Woo! Anyway, IKEA is for sure the place to head to for affordable items and furniture for your new home, or to improve upon what you have. OH! Whatever you do - don't forget the $1 soft-serve right after the cashiers. ONE DOLLAR. SO GOOD. read more

We purchased Ethan Allen traditional furniture for our home 25 years ago and it was really in need of replacement. If you watch "design to sell" and other similar shows on HDTV where they are trying to get a house staged to sell, you see they outfit with a LOT of IKEA furnishings. Point is, if you have a single family home to sell (as we recently did) the boomers are not going to be buying it, but the kids of boomers are. They won't buy your home if it's staged like a nursing home, but they will get excited if you have plain and simple IKEA furnishings. We sold our home in a week to a couple with two small kids, following this strategy (along with others). Glad we did because we are building a retirement home with much less SF and the IKEA furniture is "smaller," vs "overstuffed." This IKEA location is the one we visit most often. As for the living room furniture, we bought leather couch and chairs, one stationary, one swivel rocker-recliner. The surfaces are 100% leather. I don't know any other store that does this for chairs in the $500 price range. What we've bought before and what you see everywhere else is leather on about 1/3 of the surfaces. They usually say, "where you touch" which means, back, seat, and arms. Vinyl is used for footrests, sides, and back. NOT with IKEA, it's leather all around. The vinyl tends to split and otherwise wear out. Not the leather. So for moderately priced contemporary furnishings, generally you can't go wrong. I did look seriously at a spring mattress, but most of them come rolled up. I am suspicious of how they might feel. The one in the store felt terrible, and I ended up forking over about $300 to Sears for a Sealy Posturepedic (no box spring, just mattress) for our guest room day bed. Most of IKEA is designed to take home and assemble yourself. For a price, you can have them deliver. They also will give you information on folks to assemble, but most items are pretty simple. We ordered a swivel rocker recliner from IKEA this month that was out stock (color we wanted) and it was delivered to the warehouse in Beltsville for pickup. Their warehouse is in an industrial park location, poorly marked, and nearly impossible to find. Also, if you are buying "wood" furniture, know that most of it is laminate on particle board, but you can find some nice wood pieces, particularly kitchen islands and carts, for example. We had a nice kitchen island (butcher block top) we sold because it won't fit in our new home. So four * overall. I also don't like it that they don't provide bags for small items purchased, and they usually have long lines at check-out. On a return item, I also had to wait about 30 minutes after taking a number, so returning is not something you do without some serious thought. read more

Wow, I've seen so many bad reviews about the store during COVID recently. My visit was mostly great! My boyfriend and I visited around lunch time and walked through the store and ate lunch. The only line I experienced was a 4 minute wait at the dining area. The reason this has 4 stars instead of 5 was just an issue with the checkout process. We went there to browse so my we only had 6 items- all of which could fit in the shopping bag. I was surprised to see no 'express line' or anything like that because we ended up waiting behind another shopper who had enough small items to cover the belt and 4+ large furniture pieces. As she was finishing checking out, the cashier scanned one of the large furniture pieces and told her it was a part one of two- the customer didn't know. Instead of redirecting the line, which had about 10 people in it behind us we all had to wait while she went back into the warehouse part of the store to go find it, which was a bit frustrating. Other than that, our visit ended up being a relaxing day of casual shopping with plenty of space to social distance from other customers. Thanks IKEA! read more

IKEA - Dining at the cafeteria- plenty of space for distanced tables at lunch time :) - Furniture Stores Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Even a play area for kids! This place is super..I love that they have rooms displayed so you know the total price for the whole thing! Very Euro style stuff for your living space...looks like stuff that is geared for the more compact places. Smart ways of utilizing space and really reasonable prices. Only down side is not a lot of customer service. If you can't lift the stuff when you go to the place to pick up the items you want, you are really kind of on your own...I did not see any staff to help. I don't suggest it for people who need help lifting or finding their way around. that being said...great prices and a very nice place to eat swedish meatballs, smoked salmon and more! I had fun! read more

I love any Ikea locations. This location is near Costco and Potomac Mall. So its really convient to drive all the way out here. This Ikea layout is like any other Ikea. The bathrooms do need some cleaning but mostly fairly ok clean. The food here is also amazin! I love Ikea food. Lines can get pretty long for food and check out. read more

I LOVE IKEA!!!!!! that is all.

I really like this business except for that they always seem understaffed (check out lines, finding someone in the store, etc.). I think adding a few more employees would go a long way. read more

I love IKEA. I always get great decor ideas from their displays and most things are in a price range I can afford at this time. It can get very crowded in the weekends which is a little unpleasant for me so I choose to go during the week in the evenings. I'm not a fan of their food court but I do love the some of the selections you can purchase in the food market area. Some of the furniture can look beat up quickly. read more

I love everything about this place. It's so fun to look around and just relaxes me when I see all the decorations for each rooms. And free yummy coffee just makes eveything perfect! read more

We all know IKEA is a nice place to get some trendy furniture and Knick knacks. However this location is always over crowded with super long check out lines. I will applaud how clean and organized the store remains despite be over crowded. My only complaints are with efficient check out and parking! read more

Some people like to go to the beach, or fly 14 hours to a place where they speak the same language. IKEA is my foreign vacation. A jungle of fairly priced items that I didn't know I needed then filled my cart with products that are "soooo cute". The restaurant, though serving obviously frozen Swedish meatballs is very affordable, and offers a dessert to fuel the last leg of the trip. If you are only looking for smaller items, make sure to forego the showroom, unless you want to spontaneously renovate your kitchen because "this one looks so neat." Stuffed with lingonberries and a good helping of make-it-yourself projects, my IKEA high was one I intend to repeat. read more

Really, where else are you going to get new, stylish home furnishings and home goods for super cheap? Let's not forget to mention that the lovely folks at Ikea also create and arrange perfect little rooms with said stylish and cheap furniture and home goods, which definitely help those who have trouble designing a room. Every time I walk in there, I've said "I want THIS room." Sadly, I can't just pick up the walls and everything in between and just go. Living rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, offices, they've covered 'em all. This place is like a giant maze (with maps, short cuts, and people to show you the way) with the cheese at the end: Ikea's Restaurant. I love it. I love food. I love good, doesn't taste cheap but it is, type food! Don't question it, just get it: Meatballs and gravy, mashed potatoes, french fries, apple cake or their chocolate Diam cake, and apple soda. I went yesterday and they have a Summer Salad with berries, pineapple, and some sort of yum dressing - I could eat that every day. Come to shop, eat, or browse. Cheap, stylish, and awesome. Can't miss Ikea (Woodbridge), you'll see it off I-95 and if you're driving around the Potomac Mills circle. TONS of parking, their garage is ginormous. read more

I absolutely love Ikea. My entire apartment is decorated from Ikea. I don't think it's as big as the College Park Maryland store, but this location is right by Potomac Mills Mall-you can easily spend all day shopping in the area. You just can't beat Ikea's prices. If you love the modern look, this is the place for you. Coll stuff, things you won't find anywhere else. Found out every "Real World" house is decorated with Ikea products. The store is huge, so only come when you're energized. Course you can always rest in the model living/bedrooms. Walk through and look at everything-you'll hate yourself if you forget something and have to go back through. Cafeteria has decent, low priced food. Employees will help if you find them, but be prepared to figure something out on your own. This is to keep the prices down, and generally worth it. read more

I love this IKEA....I love that they have ample parking, a very affordable restaurant upstairs, and the price is right! This IKEA is huge....start upstairs and check out the model rooms/kitchens/offices, etc. Great place to start if you need some inspiration. Work your way down and you can shop til you drop... Just keep in mind that just about all their furniture requires assembly-so be sure to get the necessary tools before taking it home. read more

This place customer service is a complete joke. Not only did they take my money for a delivery order that never came in, there is no one I can talk to to resolve it. I've contacted them on there Facebook page and I get no response but others seem to get answered. I've private message them and still no answer.. went to the physical location and they said they couldn't forfil my order there...i literally have been cheated with no help no resolution and no assistance. Of rate it lower if I could! read more

I'm from sweden, ikea is from sweden, I feel like it is expected from me as a swede to love ikea ... and I'm not gonna lie. I LOVE ikea. I hate that I can never go and spend under 100 bucks tho. Despite being three hours away my husband sometimes makes time so that I can get my ikea fix. Most of the time we go for ... small things. And most of the time we leave with a lot more. Sundays are crazy but that seems to be internationally and not locally as ikea in sweden is the same on sundays. They always seem to be remodeling inside which is okay but somewhat confusing. The restaurant area is smaller than what I've seen sy other ikeas but it works the same. Meatballs is a must. They have both indoor and outdoor parking and despite being busy we've brevet head a problem finding indoor parking. They also have a loading zone so that they don't have to have people running for the carts etc. Smart. In the end ikea is ikea and of you've seen one you've seen them all. Don't forget to stop at the food marketplace and browse some swedish items. Well worth it. read more

This location was my first IKEA experience and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. When I found out I was moving to somewhere that had an IKEA within (reasonable) driving distance, I got too excited. And after my first visit here, I was so impressed, I dragged by boyfriend ~30+ miles here six times in the first month alone. Half the time I don't even buy anything. I just like wandering around the showrooms and imagining what could be. There's just so much selection. It's beautiful. :') And of the things that I did buy (a Kallax, Lack furniture, etc) I've been extremely happy with the quality! I know this furniture isn't supposed to last a lifetime, and that's not what I'm hoping for. I'm just hoping that it'll prove functional and stylish and last long enough for my next move... And so far, so good. I did try to return a lamp here once. It was missing a bolt, and rather than drive all the way back to IKEA for a bolt, I just bought another lamp at Walmart. The customer service woman ringing me up told me that I could just take a bolt rather than return the lamp, but I had already bought another one so I just returned it. The process was super simple, but the line took forever. They have a cool printout queuing number system here. While that helps for organizational purposes (and eliminates the line... now people can wander around as they please until their number is called) it doesn't help with the speed. They need faster employees, or more lanes open. I really want to try the restaurant here! However, the lines are always super long so I've never actually tried anything yet... One day I'll brave the lines and enjoy these Swedish Meatballs everyone raves about. Until then, though, I'm content just roaming around and taking in everything that is ~IKEA~. read more

I am a fan of IKEA. I like that they design furnitures for small places. When my son was a baby, his room was pretty much furnished by IKEA. The furnitures are affordable and could easily be assembled (although my husband does it). I like that they could easily be transported back home. As mentioned in many of the reviews, the displayed furnitures are located on the second floor of the store. Be sure to grab a map, pencil, and measuring tape before going up the escalator. The showroom is organized by different rooms in the house. If you don't feel like browsing the entire floor, the shortcuts to where you want to go are marked on the map. On each of the items, the tag tell you where you can find the item in warehouse in the lower level. The lower floor of the store contains household items like dinnerware, cookware, and other decorating pieces for the house. I don't think there is a shortcut straight to the warehouse on this floor. Even though the store is usually crowded, I never have any issue with the lines at the registers. They usually move along pretty quickly. read more

I ordered 2 dressers on line 3 weeks ago. Ikea charged my credit card. They were scheduled to be delivered this week. When I tracked the order it says "cancelled". No notice, no email and no reimbursement on my credit card. Ikea customer service is "not available" and will not answer my email. I have no dressers and they have my money. Worst customer service ever!! I wish there was an option for negative stars. read more

So, after my bad experience with the logistics company, we did reschedule and the delivery went well. About a week later, a special representative from the logistics company called to follow up, offer sincere apologies, and ask for feedback on how to improve the process. That takes guts and I value it. I will continue to shop at IKEA and I might even try delivery again. read more

Let's start with the store; it's always clean and some stuff can be easy to find while others is confusing. I love the store and how cheap it really is. The quality is great almost all my furniture is from there and it is great. The food is great quality as well the meatballs are good and the frozen yogurt is great and prices are unbeatable. read more

There are maps and tools such as pencils and measuring tape easily found all over the place. The store is neat, clean, well organized and fun. Easy to lose time wandering around in here ... I have yet to not find what I am looking for or to not get help when I need it. I am working on a project and love the options to customize all the furniture. I am pretty excited to see the finished pieces. read more

Your typical Ikea. I love walking around and looking at all the cool, unique stuff they have there. However, I must be getting old because the thought of buying something that comes in a million-kazillion pieces just doesn't appeal to me anymore. (Yes, I've counted that high!! Ok. Not really). I always end up buying some gadget or other (that doesn't need to be put together)! And the way they design their 'rooms' is pretty cool. Makes me jealous that my room isn't as hip as theirs. read more

Great furniture and decor! Smaland is a playground that you can drop you kid off for 30 minutes while you shop! They give you a pager and let the kids play! It's crowded on the weekends but it's well staffed so the lines stay relatively short. read more

This place is huge. It is a great place to go if you're redecorating your house, or just looking to buy some decent quality furniture. It can be kind of pricey, it all just depends on your style, and what exactly you're looking for. They sell a lot of furniture that you must build yourself, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to assemble. My most recent visit, I came with a friend of mine who was looking to get a new office chair. I haven't been here in years, and it was his first time ever, so I didn't quite remember where everything was. I didn't notice many employees around to help customers. That being said, they have some computers in the store that you can use, and very easily search for and locate any item you want. I understand that technology isn't always as reliable as hands on help, but it works very well. Once my friend found the chair he wanted, we went to go check out. They had two registers open, with a small line in each one. The cashier was polite, and was able to do their job without any inconvenience. read more

Good prices, huge place, confusing to navigate...warehouse idea so dumb! So you all didn't have shelf on lower warehouse space so I had to spend an hour after close waiting for you all to clear the store and close it down so someone can get a forklift to get the stuff up top?!? How about this-section off a small area on customers way out to grab and go and have a full time forklift operator picking items for people. We don't live nearby so very inconvenient to wait. read more

Finally bought furniture here! I had been looking for side tables for our living room as well as lamps and a book shelf type dealy-o for Joe's video games, since they were all on the floor. Kind of intense to build, but I felt very accomplished after. Next step, picture frames! read more

I usually don't come here for the furniture, even though the first time I visited Ikea, it was for one of those square shelves. Bïtrade came at only $35 and it still is pretty sturdy. Of course, I don't keep anything too heavy on it, but it keeps my room pretty neat. The 4 stars here is for the Marketplace section. Kitchen items are a steal here - they're cheap, colourful and make the kitchen look fabulous! Ikea is literally my go-to place for all interior ideas, because they're bright, modern and always bring in something new! For home décor, it's unbeatable and I've picked up decorative pots, bathroom mirrors, unframed canvases and more! While the furniture is totally not recommended, Ikea is a great place to buy home décor items to give your house the nice, vibrant and modern Euro edge. read more

The food here, especially the Swedish Meatballs, is awesome! The store is clean and is laid out very well. They are a bit thin on staff for help and the staff that are there just seem a bit over loaded and miserable. As for the furniture stock, it's not kept up very well. They need to keep up with their stock a lot better in the self-help furniture area and sometimes items in their bins don't match what the bin is labeled, so be sure to check EVERYTHING twice. All of the items we brought home were in good shape and all of the parts were in the boxes. Overall, it's a good experience, but I just wish they had everything in stock. We did come home without a couple of items we really wanted. read more
