IKEA does not have the option of free shipping. Depending on where the customer lives and what they ordered will determine the total shipping cost, but "free" is not an option. IKEA has had some complaints concerning delivery and collection issues in the past, such as not receiving products by their delivery date or not receiving products entirely. Other issues individuals have shown concern for include problems with the product or service they purchased. These vary depending on the item and are consistent with other major home furniture companies. Similar to delivery issues, problems are handled by their quality customer service department.

IKEA is my kids favorite place to go to play, eat and enjoy while I consider home projects or remodeling of rentals. Their trends always captivate me and after having some items for at this point 12 years (couch, dishes, tables etc) I think there quality for price is amazing.

Assembling IKEA furniture was surprisingly straightforward. The instructions were clear, and all the necessary parts were included. The furniture itself is sturdy and well-designed, especially considering the affordable prices. Navigating the store can be challenging due to its size, but the layout is logical once you get used to it. Overall, I'm satisfied with my IKEA purchases and would recommend them to others.

It has been a great experience shopping at Ikea. I have recently discovered that I enjoy ordering items and having them shipped to me. This has been such a excellent way of getting my to do list finished, that it is my preferred method of shopping now. And the one time I needed to return an item it was so easy and quick. I'm loving Ikea all over again.

I have purchased several things from IKEA. I enjoy the experience of walking through IKEA and seeing what they have to offer. I do not appreciate how long it takes to walk through their store though! It is a day trip for me to go because I have over an hour and a half travel to get there. But, I do it because the quality of their furniture is generally good for the price. Especially with kids and not wanting to commit to the furniture I use with kids for my whole life, it is a good price.

Best place to get stuff for small spaces and help stay organized. Plus the decor is fabulous. I love my pictures and lamp that I purchased. I live in a small apartment so I need to maximize space and still feel comfortable not crowded. I'm looking at one of their couches because if the storage under extention lounger. Not bad prices although almost everything furniture wise needs to be put together. Overall I love this store.

IKEA has provided quality furniture that has been great for a starter home. The instructions are sometimes are confusing, but nothing additional help can't understand. The furniture is very affordable and there are so many options! I like how each piece of furniture is designed to be fit for the space and has accommodations.

Stared shopping when I first went to college in the 80's. Just finished by second kitchen with them and have never been happier with the quality and craftsmanship of my cabinets, counters and the 30 year old bedroom set that my grandson now sleeps on when he comes over! (by the way the Swedish meatballs are still the best!)

As a fan of modern and affordable home solutions, I found IKEA to be a great fit. The store's vast layout, showcasing various room setups, is both inspiring and a bit overwhelming. I appreciate their stylish, budget-friendly furniture, although assembling it can be a bit of a puzzle. The highlight of my visit was definitely their cafeteria - the Swedish meatballs are a delightful treat. IKEA is perfect for anyone who enjoys a hands-on approach to furnishing their space on a budget

Ikea has been my reliable choice for affordable and modern home furnishings. The showroom layout provides inspiration, and the flat-packaging makes transport easy. The Swedish design aesthetic aligns with my preferences. While assembly can be time-consuming, the reasonable prices and quality make Ikea a practical and stylish option for furnishing my home.

Lord, there’s a lot of products here that u can find at ur local dollar tree store but with ikea expect to pay a couple dollars more. My last purchase from ikea was their “value” wash clothes and they have already fallen apart and been thrown away! Now as for their furniture, there’s a lot of the modern looks that are pretty awesome! I truly like the children’s furniture and the setups they have created! My son really likes the alternative looks they offer and so we choose to go there for his room!

IKEA is great except for the byzantine humongous-ness of it all. That’s why I shop online instead of in-store. But they do have good deals and nice soft goods. I love the duvet covers and other bedding. It’s always fresh and updated.

I bought a bed frame that I really liked. I liked that there is a roll out plank of boards that supports the mattress and box spring. I was a nice set up. It was for 150.00 a queen. It was with me for 24yrs. they do have some quality items. Also they had made a significant donation of items to my non profit Christmas drive. It was a wonderful event because they were generous.

We LOVE Ikea! Their prices are seriously unmatched, and even though you have to assemble the furniture yourself, it still ends up being worth it. We've had a lot of luck with their furniture for all of our living areas and bedrooms, and when we decide we want to switch things up, they sell for their full price (people don't want to pay for Ikea shipping and assemble it themselves) as long as they are in good condition. They truly hold their value, and I appreciate the convenience of quality furniture.

I have got three cupboards for kids room since 4 years and fourth one tried from another compony but now I am regretting, Ikea's furniture is the best almost 4 years and nothing happened to paint or any nails of three cupboards. highly recommended for your sweet home and prices are also so reasonable.

IKEA has a nice selection of items. The items are contemporary and look good. However, I have found furniture and other items to be very cheaply made. Even though IKEA is less expensive than other places, I don't find the price to be worth the value.

The showroom is amazing. It's a really nice experience to walk through and find something you like. What I don't like is the poor quality or durability of the items purchased. or the fact that sometimes the instructions seem to have been put through a translator but never really read for proper English phrasing. The quality of the furniture seems to drop all the time.

IKEA offers affordable and stylish furniture and home decor options that I love. Their in-store experience is fantastic. However, the downside is their shipping and assembly process. Shipping is costly, and assembly, while a cost-saver, can be challenging. If you're patient and handy, it's worth it for the price and design, but it's something to keep in mind before making a purchase.

You can't beat the price with Ikea and as long as you are willing to do the installation work it can provide great value. I recently purchased their closet kits and built an entire walk in closet system. I was quoted $4000 from a local closet company but was able to purchase a comparable system from Ikea for $1700. Putting everything together took me a couple days but it was well worth the savings.

IKEA built a store in Kansas City a few years ago and it has transformed the ways in which my family, friends and the greater Kansas City community now shop for home furnishings. The company's products are consistently high in quality and competitive in price. Their unique, in-store shopping experience offers an entertaining way to spend a few hours in a leisurely stroll around the spacious store, looking at an amazing range of cleverly designed products. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly and IKEA return policies are fantastic.

Oh this place is addictive. It is almost like I have to avoid it or I spend too much lol. But I love the showroom and wandering around- could wander for hours! They just have the cutest stuff! Staff will assist you with getting your literal pallet of stuff to your car, they are very professional and friendly. I appreciate how spread out the store is, so you are not on top of others while strolling around, and there is of course the food court area to nourish yourself during the marathon day of being in this store!

I recently visited IKEA and was blown away by the experience. The well-designed displays, helpful staff, and affordable products were impressive. However, the real highlight was the legendary IKEA meatballs. Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor, they lived up to the hype. Accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam, these meatballs were a heavenly delight. The only thing I dislike about Ikea is that I cant make these meatballs at home! Don't miss out on this culinary experience during your next IKEA visit.

IKEA is a fun store to visit. You can spend a few hours there. The store is huge and there is lots to look at. Their furniture is not the best quality but it's very reasonable priced. The furniture has clean, simple lines. I have bought several bookcases there and am very happy with them. They sell so many things it's hard to know what to comment on. I really like all their kitchen accessories. Sponges, scrub brushes are a fantastic price and great quality. I also like the cafeteria. The food is good, reasonable priced and it makes it a fun outing to eat there. And after shopping stop at the snack bar on your way out for cinnamon rolls. They are a great price and delicious. IKEA is not a place you can run into quickly to pick up a few things. It's a big store and takes time to just walk through. And even if you intend to just get a couple things you'll find more to buy. IKEA is definitely worth a visit. But never buy something you may have to return. Returns are the worst. It takes forever to return something and you must have the receipt. They have very few people working in returns. You take a number when you get there - does that give you a hint of how bad it is. I've returned things twice and from now on I only buy what I'm sure to keep. Never again do I want to return something there.

This is my go-to for home basics. Furniture pieces that don’t need to be fancy. My kids love their dressers from IKEA and my husbands desk has held up surprisingly well. I don’t mind building everything & find that it’s usually simple enough that you don’t drive yourself crazy over it.
