Let me just start off by saying this is an ALL day affair, so PLEASE give yourself time to peruse ALL that Ikea has to offer (which is a LOT and could most likely take ALL day)! Oh, where do I begin?! The vastness of this place can feel a little overwhelming upon entry, but don't fret yourself over this....no biggie...no matter how BIG this place is! HA! Ok, sorry, lest I get off on a rabbit trail of lame puns, I will try to stay on point here!
Ikea is awesome, and by awesome I mean EVERYTHING you could ever want to find to decorate your apartment, house, condo, office, or even towards decorating for a wedding or a party of ANY sort. How can it be so ALL encompassing you might ask?! Well, if you hop by their website, you can feast your eyes upon the variety of things they offer, and your eyes will be opened to the reality that their options are near 'bout limitless...pardon the country folk terminology here ya'll....but it's the plain ol' truth people!
It's not just the options here, it's the prices as well! Besides finding everything from beds, desks, mirrors, candles, candle holders, stuffed animals, baby/kid/adult bedding, dishes, utensils (I could spend all day writing out all the items you could find here including an in house daycare to babysit your kids and an eatery to hop by for a snack break)....you will also find helpful employees who will assist you when and if needed!
Ok, as a side note but also an important bit of advice, if you're one of those people/families who happen to have a small car....be WARNED you can't fit it ALL in your small car! How do I know? Because I have made that mistake several times in the past (yeah, I admit it, I am kind of a slow learner at times! but can I blame it on the fact that ANY time I see an ikea I am drawn to its beautiful BLUE sign no matter what sized car I am driving at that moment) If you have a friend or a relative that you can borrow their larger vehicle/van...strike that their ECONO sized van preferably (lol)....DO IT!!! If you are REALLY wanting to get all the items you need for your new place at an affordable price you might just want to invest in renting a moving van for the day....and I am truly NOT kidding here! Yes, you have to put the items together yourself later....but with all the money you save here, is that too much to ask?! Also, as an added EXTRA bit of advice, sign up for their "friends and family" savings card upon entry of the store or in advance on their website, and you will save even MORE! I know that's hard to believe, but it's true! Happy Shopping! read more
