IKEA

Sign up for the IKEA friends and family card. Free coffee and tea upstairs in the restaurant and an extra 30 minutes in Smaland for any of those potty trained youngsters with the card.

Almost all my house is full with IKEA furniture ! Try food first, you will spend a couple of hours shopping between showroom and marketplace ! Sometimes the products are sold out, check it first online.

I come here for candles and orchids every time I'm in the area. The candles smell delicious and they have a great selection. The orchids are beautiful and healthy. Best prices around for both, too.

Need help figuring out what you need in your home office area don't ask the girls in that department, they wont help or know how to use the software. They prefer to sit there & talk about people.

Judging by all the vehicles on a weekend, you'd think that this is a tourist destination. There are people from all over! For locals, its best to go during the week when its less crowded .

I love ikea. Got my new couch here. Be careful not to get lost. I heard that members get free breakfast . How cool is that?

Huge mistake removing the self-service check outs. I used to be able to get tea lights and be in and out in 10 minutes. Now every line is 20 people deep.

If you know you're going to purchase something big, bring some friends...the boxes are flat packed and HEAVY. Awesome store and helpful staff .

Great place for moms to have a cheap dinner and some alone time while the kids are in the child care area! I love to wander or bring a book !

LOVE LOVE LOVE this Ikea store. You can always find something great and the cinnamon roles are to die for.

Join Ikea family ! You get a free ice cream for joining and free coffee/tea whenever you visit, plus access to member only deals and extra playtime at the childcare area.

All of the self-checkouts are gone! Bummer. I'd guess they discovered they were losing a lot to theft (unintentional or intentional)

Eat some meatballs before you shop and be sure to buy cinnamon rolls on your way out! Free coffee and tea for members!

Great selection of items. Well stocked. Staff are friendly . What more can you ask for?

Inventive cheap furniture , tastefully coordinated. The death of the middle class resides here in comfort.

If you have a mobile phone that takes pictures and you forget to grab a pencil/paper from the entrance, you can take a picture of the price tag to know where to find it in the self-service location

Take your time to review everything, you can also review the items online before of visit the store.

Get an extra 1/2 hr of free childcare by joining the Ikea Family membership!

Come with a plan. Do research online before visiting. Ikea's can be super overwhelming.

My friend calls it the Home Improvement Theme Park and that's about accurate.

If you can make it thru in less than an hour with your sanity in check, treat yourself to a Combo 1 at the bistro before exiting ☺

Meatballs are the best. Ligonberries are great too. Food is always great

Always come here if I want basic furniture pieces. Very modern designs which go well in almost any room.

Hot dogs are a great deal but they might make you a little sick. Don't forget the cheap pizza and ice cream in the bistro .

Bring bags because they don't have free bags anymore. Reusable bags are available for purchase also. You will bag your own merchandise. Start upstairs and see what is in the showroom before shopping d

Make sure to stop at the restaurant before or after your shopping trip and have the Mashed Potatoes along with those Swedish Meatballs

Need to get through the store quickly- follow the shortcuts on the map or skip the showroom and start at the marketplace if you already know what you want!

Use the shortcuts in the Marketplace to avoid walking the whole bottom floor.

The roasted chicken dinner was a great deal & very tasty.

There is free wi-fi now, IF you log in with your IKEA Family card #. Interesting concept.

IKEA has a new discount card, it's called the IKEA family card. I always wanted to be part of the family here.

The Furnish your first apartment and small house store :-) there's everything! !

I went on Tuesday 6.30pm and the whole store was pretty much only for me! :)

Looking for a gray deal? Check out the As-Is department near the cash registers for discounted and already built furniture !

If you don't get the meatballs , you might as well go to Art Van. C'mon! You know you want 'em.

If you've never been to an IKEA.... make sure you have enough time to go through the whole store! Its amazing :-)

Sierra Mist & Lingonberry Juice from the fountain in the cafe

If you're on a diet but want to eat in the caf, get a kids size portion of meatballs - it's about 320 calories.

Went for the first time and it was amazing!!

Cinnamon rolls , Swedish meatballs , lingon berry drink

Ignore the food and focus on kitchen accessories .

Wonderful family friendly place with great values . Make sure you stop for lunch & try the pear soda .

Heads up. If your kids are going to Smaland, they need socks and to be potty trained . The store has vending machines for socks, but coworkers won't make change without a purchase.

Great place to go if you are trying to walk more...

Try the $1.99 chicken dinner and the Swedish meat balls

Self checkout lanes are back! Credit or debit only.

You will spend all day here.

Elisabeth is the best she works in the Swedish food market . She can even speak Swedish!

Be patient make sure you have lots of time it's alot of self serve .. And bring your own bags ;)

make sure to hydrate, the upstairs will take ages to navigate.
