Having visited IKEA locations in Ireland and Sweden, I've seen how they take the concept so…read moreseriously over there--it's an entire cultural experience. Here, we tend to treat it more like a giant showroom with free babysitting and a cafeteria, but the value is still hard to beat. I had a great run during my most recent trip. The deals were everywhere! I picked up a summer-weight duvet along with a new cover and shams to refresh the bedroom. I also found a stunning set of gold-toned serving flatware -- they have that sleek, high-end look without the boutique price tag. A few highlights and "hiccups" from this visit: The Food & Drink:I tried the fish balls with mashed potatoes for lunch, and they were actually pretty tasty. I also noticed an older gentleman sitting completely alone, casually drinking glasses of what appeared to be wine. Many IKEA locations with a restaurant license do serve beer and wine, and honestly, he had the right idea. Of course, I couldn't leave without hitting the food market for those specific cookies and foreign candies you just can't find anywhere else. The Atmosphere: At one point, navigating the floor felt a bit like an escape room. While the staff seems nice enough, they aren't exactly eager to help--you really have to run them down to get an answer. The Warehouse:I'm honestly not a fan of the self-service furniture selection policy. The whole warehouse environment is pretty intimidating when you're trying to track down boxes. The Strategy:Since I'm lucky enough to live only 25 minutes away I've realized I need to stop coming here like it's a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage. If I visited more often, I probably wouldn't feel the need to drop $200 every time! Overall, it's a solid four-star experience for the unique finds and the reliable "Swedish-lite" atmosphere, even if you have to do some of the heavy lifting yourself.

Very nice IKEA. Super clean but organized like a standard IKEA. Two floors with very large…read moreelevators and an escalator in the front lobby. Like always, as soon as we get there we head to the restaurant. I always get the same thing, Swedish Meatballs. Can't beat how good they are. My grandkids love them too. My son had a Caesar salad which he said was very good and fresh, and my husband had a chicken thigh with black beans and rice and fried plantains. (We were very surprised to see a meal that you would normally see in a Florida IKEA up here in Charlotte North Carolina. I have to admit it tasted very good.) We hit the bathrooms afterwards, spotlessly clean considering how busy it was, and then we went shopping. I will say that there was quite a few open and empty spaces on the second floor in the furniture department. I'm not sure if they were re-organizing or had literally sold out after the holidays. Good thing though, we found what we were looking for things to the help of workers who know the place better than we do and advised us which shortcuts to use. All the workers we spoke to were super friendly and helpful. The value was good as always, IKEA might be slightly higher priced than other places but I have a few pieces in my house that are almost 30 years old and still in excellent condition. It was easier to get here than we thought and we really enjoyed our day here. We can't wait to go back.

I usually love…read morecoming here, but my most recent trip was a huge disappointment. * Construction Chaos: The store is currently under heavy renovation. Many of the showroom displays were blocked off, making it difficult to navigate and even harder to find specific items. * Restaurant Fail: After navigating the construction, I headed to the restaurant only to find they had completely run out of food. It's incredibly frustrating to spend hours in a warehouse this size and not be able to grab a meal. If you're planning a trip soon, I'd check to see if the renovations are finished first. Right now, it's a bit of a mess.

They have a wide variety of items for your home office, etc. The value that you pay appear is very affordable for the average consumer. They have plenty of staff that are working while I was there. I saw someone putting together a piece. Another person was doing cleaning and it appeared three people who work there were having a meeting Despite their being enough staff no one greeted me or asked what I needed so I decided to leave and order the items online. The store is not as big as the IKEA near the university, but it has a pretty good selection. I hope that they can improve their customer service.

Would not recommend. Hired to pressure wash and stain our playset. We were told we would need 5…read moregallons of stain to complete the job. After watering down 1 gallon of stain to apply a skim coat to portions of the exterior, while also leaving other areas completely untouched, they left the job after only a couple hours on site. We were then told via text that it would require a second coat and that it would cost an additional $300. We are now completing the project ourselves and can see that they practically didn't do anything besides pressure washing, which ultimately left our playset unprotected and in worse condition than had they never been here. In addition, we were left with missing hardware and an improperly returned safety net around our suspension bridge.

However, I saw some crafts outside the door and a sign that said Unique and Chic so decided to walk inside. I'm so glad that I did because I love seeing creative, artistic, crafts . . . This is a collection of independent vendors so you have to walk and check each one out. One of the first vendor had metal one word signs on wood, some with hooks to hang coat/hat/etc. Others had adorable outfits -- Tiger fans may want to look at the next booth. There were painted furniture with Bible verses on them, others had home decor. Jewelry, and I happen to come across at the back, a workshop that just finished. A couple women had just completed painting on wooden piece through Southernhomemade and will now be able to hang up for the Christmas season. You can book your own party with them. The biggest challenge is since these are all independent vendors who don't hang by their booth, one can peruse and if want to purchase an item or two, there was an employee at the cash register. There are definitely some cute and unique gifts, just in time for the holidays!
