So with setting up my apartment, I've had occasion to visit this Ikea a couple of times now, and my…read morerating has changed from an initial 3 stars to the 4 stars I've currently given it. The reason for the initial 3 stars was that I found it really difficult and hard to get to the shop via public transport. But my first trek here, it was evening and dark, so some visual cues were missed, plus I got off at the wrong station. (In case you are wondering, definitely Bullewijk train station is closer than Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena transportion Hub!! Plus there's this giant furniture + a rocking horse sculptures on the walk from Bullewijk train station to Ikea) Anyway, otherwise it's your basic Ikea store - some of the food is more local. So I purchased a heavily creamy Mushroom soup, bread & butter for €3 (and would not get this again - taste and texture was cloyingly rich). Their staged rooms are also quite interesting and obviously more to EU and local tastes - it's very obvious in the right and multi-tasking spaces, compared to US. I really liked how an artist's studio was set up and added it to the photos. Also, different from US IKEA's there was a pamphlet with names of the room- designers, which I thought was really helpful.

Wat een enorme teleurstelling is dit geweest…read more Wij hebben voor ongeveer €15.000 een keuken gekocht bij IKEA. Je verwacht dan toch dat levering en installatie professioneel geregeld zijn. Helaas begon de ellende eigenlijk al vóór de levering. Verkeerd advies bij het bestellen, onderdelen die niet waren toegevoegd, dingen die later weer omgewisseld moesten worden. Oké, kan gebeuren -- dacht ik nog. Maar toen kwam de levering. Op de dag van levering hadden we vrij genomen. Bleek er geen lift geregeld te zijn (terwijl dat wél was afgesproken). De keuken kon niet naar boven. Ondertussen stonden onderdelen in het systeem als "geleverd" terwijl ze er helemaal niet waren. Daarna begon het eindeloze bellen en mailen. De installatie die 1 à 2 dagen zou duren, heeft uiteindelijk bijna vier maanden gesleept. Elke keer kwam de monteur en ontbrak er weer iets. We moesten zélf continu schakelen tussen IKEA en de montagepartner. Alsof wij projectmanager waren van onze eigen keuken. Wat mij nog het meest frustreert is de klantenservice. Er werd vaak gezegd: "We komen hierop terug", "Dit wordt opgepakt". Maar je moest overal zelf achteraan. En uiteindelijk werd het dossier gewoon gesloten, terwijl er helemaal geen oplossing was. Na al die maanden gedoe heb ik voorgesteld om het voor €500 af te ronden. Op een project van €15.000 lijkt me dat meer dan redelijk. Zelfs dat werd afgewezen en verdere communicatie werd stopgezet.

This place reminds me of Home Depot back in the states!…read more They have a ton of household items and things for your bike as well. Some things seemed more expensive to me, but most are reasonably priced. Everything is neatly organized and sorted out and the customer service is great. I bought a power drill and realized when I got home that I had forgot to use a coupon that I clipped out. Went back a few days later to pick up more things and asked them if I could also do a price adjustment for the power drill I had purchased. They told me my coupon had already expired, but they had another coupon that I could use and they adjusted it for me. Saved 20% instead of 25%, but still good! I'm a happy camper. Seems like they have coupons every week.

We purchased the entire kitchen from Brugman Curacao, all in about 50,000.00usd. We were in the…read moreStates during the installation and upon entering our new home on Bonaire, we first noticed the handles on the refrigerator were dangling because the installer(s) used screws inadequate in size. We also realized our new freezer was not cold and not producing ice. We contacted Brugman and they sent one tech who said he would return with the necessary supplies. He never came back, he never called. Brugman sent another tech who told us to put several containers of water or anything in the freezer and this would help reduce the temperature to its proper setting. He made sure the thermostat was set appropriately. The freezer never reached it's set temperature. Again, reported to Brugman and nothing happened but we had to head back to the states. During this time Brugman made no attempts to followup concerning the situation.A couple of months later, only after we called and expressed major frustration, Brugman sent a third tech to "repair" the appliance. This morning, a loud alarm sounded on the freezer with a temperature warning. There is a terrible rotting smell coming from the appliance, due to possible deterioration of materials surrounding the freezer. The quality of Brugman's products is poor. The new stainless steel sink is severely scratched with minimal usage. The handles on the new ovens are already showing signs of rust--we have only cooked in these ovens twice!! The metal of the range hood is very thin and flimsy. Mot of the handles on the cabinets are loose. Nearly every component of the kitchen has an issue. Do not purchase appliances or cabinetry from this company. The lack of response and resolution is disappointing and highly frustrating.
