IKEA Rocks. I thought I'd outgrow IKEA furniture but the value is really hard to beat and often times so is the quality.I just moved into a bigger place and bought a lot of household items from a mirror to bathroom storage, kitchen cooking good, and some chairs. They have great service and shopping here is always fun. I highly recommend topping it off with their famous sweedish meetballs and some desert. Make sure you bring a big car or truck because it's easy to buy more than you think you are going to. If you can't fit it all in they will ship it.

- Wow Ikea may be one of the coolest stores ever probably. It can also be incredibly overwhelming to see all of that stuff in one building. It is like over kill for the senses. I think you can buy just about anything you could need for your house. It’s really fun to just walk through the room set ups and see the different ways they are designed; they really know how to do a lot with a small space. While the quality isn’t always the greatest, its design quality is pretty good and for college students they offer great dorm furniture.

Ikea origins is in Sweden. It is the best furniture store that came to America. The items are affordable and you feel like you didn't empty your wallets to get organized or decorate. It has awesome items for the kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedrooms the list goes on. All I can say is Ikea, The Swedish, got it right!!!Everything is affordable and cute compared to the prices at high end department stores that have the same furniture marked up so high that you'll faint just thinking about it. I like the fact that you can build your items. It awakens your inner carpenter, you will build dressers and nightstands with ease. I bought a dresser and nightstand and was able to build it with my sister in about two hours, it is pretty easy. Also, if you don't feel like building it you can get pre-made furniture at mark-down prices. They have great items and you will feel great knowing you didn't have to sacrifice quality for the price!!!

Ikea is definitely the place to check when you are either redecorating or moving into a new place. I love how simple but beautiful their designs are. The place is huge but easy to find the things you need. There are so many different types of furniture to choose from. Most of the things in my room are from IKEA. I love how the prices are affordable and the products are of great quality. It is so easy to spend so much here because you will end up buying things that you did not come here for. It is a little hard to find an associate to help you because it is so busy. Overall a great furniture store to check out.

This is such a great place to buy so many affordable and contemporary style things for your home!! I think half of our house is filled with Ikea furniture, tableware and toys.

Affordability aside, they have a fantastic children's area where if your child is tall enough (mininum 36 in height), you can check them into the play area and then go shopping in peace. haha.

Otherwise, your kids can explore the upstairs children's department and play with the display toys there too; your children will probably want to jump on all the beds and furniture while you are shopping.

Last thing to mention is the great Swedish food selections downstairs by the checkout registers. I just baked a ligonberry rye bread from a mix that I bought at Ikea and it was delicious. I was really surprised by how yummy it was coming out of a mix. They have a great crepe mix, yummy jams, smoked salmon and some other fantastic food items that are exclusive to Ikea. Check it out!
