Lovely store and really helpful, non-pushy staff. The young lady who served me second last time I…read morewas there actually remembered which cushions I bought and asked me how they worked out in my guest roomsome might find that a bit stalkerish but I was bowled over in a good way! I've bought quite a lot of furniture there in the past two years since moving to the UK and have never had any major issues just a slight delay on one home delivery. My only real complaint is that there doesn't seem to be enough staff so you sometimes have to wait to be served. Not that it's a huge inconvenience the store is hardly the worst place to pass a few minutes.

I actually associate this place more with kitchenware than furniture, but I agree that it's a very…read morehandy place. When I moved to London several years back, I think it took me about a year to figure out one could buy household goods someplace other than argos. Of course, I lived in halls near covent garden, so I give myself a small excuse for that idiocy. Now that I'm in Camden, I generally head to A&K for all the little bits and peices of kitchen and other assorted household stuff I may need (for those who have done time in the states, I often go here for the random sorts of things that used to have me Target-bound). They are not infallible, nor would I go there for sparkling service (not bad mind, they just basically leave you alone), but I find that if I can't find something random in A&K, there's a decent chance I won't find it anywhere else nearby either.

The A & K Warehouse is an excellent outlet for your furniture needs - especially in the wooden…read moremodels - alot of beds and chairs on offer in the basic pine style. The shop is pretty god damn big as well, reaching very far back from the entrance.. in a true warehouse fashion. The staff responded well to my approaches (not in that way) - 'Yes I would like to buy a bed' 'Right this way sir!' Good lads. And a good shop, with competitive prices and a distinct lack of competition in the area, I imagine they are making a pretty penny for themselves - and with friendly staff like Mike available, they probably deserve it!

After visiting Heals on Tottenham Court Road, I'm afraid I'll have to agree to disagree. If expensive furnishings are your thing then you needn't look further than Heals. A more upmarket version of both Ikea and Habitat with a slightly different design sensibility and a lovely selection of beauty bits and bobs encompassing products by Korres, a natural beauty brand whose tinted lip balms are gorgeous and Diptyque, whose Fig perfume is to die for. The lighting section is divine, with gems including chandeliers rendered in everything from perspex to lead crystal; some rather lovely floor lamps with pure silk shades in de rigeur jewel-tones; and Tom Dixon's popular copper light shades which seem to grace almost every one of London's gastro pubs.

It has always been a bit tricky to figure out where Habitat ends and where Heals begins seeing as…read morethey often share a similar design strategy. Heals however, is decidedly more expensive and tinted with undeniable glamour. Heals houses designs from some of the biggest names. From Alessi to Phillip Stark this shops contains the finest of the fine. When walking in this shop you will find that everything from the beautiful golden globes, the comfy towel robes, the natural soaps and perfumes, the unconventional lampshades and the gorgeous stylish coffee machines will become an absolute necessity rather than a treat. As a lover of all gadgets, designer objects, storage devices, and glamorous furniture, I find myself wanting to wrap every object in store into a neverending Mary Poppins-style bag and immediately head home to live forever happy with my favourite objects. This store will probably bring out the worse of your materialistic nature, but after seeing these 3 floors of materialistic bliss, trust me it will be worth it.

I really was planning to browse. After all, I had taken the Underground there. I knew I couldn't…read morebuy anything, because I'd have to carry it around all day. And yet... there was a laptop table that was $^&#@ perfect. I must have it! I walked from Neasden (Jubilee Line) station. Yes, the Ikea web page mentions the free shuttle bus from Stonebridge Park, but there were planned engineering works (surprise!). I looked at Google Earth and saw that Neasden was close enough. It's a pleasant and well marked ten minute walk from Neasden, but there are a couple of alleys that could be a little unsafe after the sun sets, if you know what I mean. Entering the store, I stopped for a late breakfast to earn back the calories from the walk. They have a fantastic special - 6 items for £1.55 make up an English breakfast. That gave me a few minutes to catch my breath and plan my attack. There's a difference between "cheap" and "inexpensive." IKEA isn't heirloom quality furniture, but it will last pretty well under normal conditions and certainly is useful for kitting out a flat or a college dorm room. The kitchenware, including the cutlery and flatware and dishes are all decent and arty. The desks and the beds and the chairs and the sofas are all excellent. Not cheap. Inexpensive. I'm a fan. In the end, I skipped the laptop table. Maybe I can convince a vehicle'd friend to pick it up for me. Or have it delivered - the £15 table is only £22.50 with shipping. (600)

I have been buying IKEA household and home office furniture products since working in Oslo, Norway…read moreand Helsingborg, Sweden in 1981-1985. Since that time I have seen the company expand into the UK and USA and other parts of the world. The company produce and sell all types of good quality stylish and practical furniture and household products with great Swedish style and at reasonable prices. A truly great international store chain. Be prepared for a long shopping trip here as the store is ginormous with a vast array of products. There is also a very reasonably priced restaurant / cafe if you need a break and to eat while shop. Lots of parking available too. A really unique shopping experience here. Don't be overwhelmed.
