Their designers' ingenuity in having hiding places and fitting storage areas into furniture is unlimited. A huge advantage when you live in tiny-room-or-house-Holland. Plus that they come up with good design and make it accessible for people who start out on their own. Yes, most Ikeas carry the same products. When you read their magazines and history, however, you find out that there is a difference in products. I have to admit that back when I started out and got furniture at Ikea, the quality seemed better in my memory -- but I don't mean a 'everything was better in the good ole days'! For example, I have stainless boxes that have lasted over 20 years and crossed oceans. Of course it's a place I recommend.

So apparently Ikeas are the same no matter where you are. I've now been to one here in NL, in…read moreGermany, and various locations in the US. You'll find affordable furniture, a huge parking lot, and several pregnant women since they flock to this place. Oh, and meatballs.

The setup is very nice and inviting (somewhat like smaller scale crate and barrel without the furniture display; and like Sue la table with much better and inviting layout). The staff are also very friendly and helpful (at least at the Amsterdam store). The pricing for most products are very decent, and the quality is quite ok for the price that they charge. Would surely recommend.
