IKEA Elizabeth

Great furniture store near Jersey Gardens. The whole walkthrough is truly an amazing experience and allows you to relax while shopping. The restaurant has delectable food and it offers stunning views of airplane landings and takeoffs due to its proximity to Newark Liberty Airport. Overall a worthwhile experience!

It’s like every other IKEA! Was surprised to find one so close to the airport but it makes a fun stop if you’re driving someone to drop off/pick up The inside is very standard for most stores I’ve visited but the observation deck is cool. The cafes can be a bit dirty cause people don’t clean up their tables and leave messes. It’s a shame cause the space would be nice and the staff shouldn’t be chasing peas around the floor

I’d like to give Joseph and his team a huge shoutout! I had my hands full and was feeling overstimulated, and when I asked for help, Joseph stepped in right away with a calm, steady energy. He moved quickly and thoughtfully to accommodate me and my daughters, which I truly appreciated. We also dined in the cafeteria and had a great experience there as well. Everyone on the line and in the dining area was friendly, happy, and willing to help. It made the whole visit feel welcoming and smooth. Thank you so much. I’m excited about my new purchases and already looking forward to coming back!

Exactly what you'd expect. Got great prices on furniture. Didn't much need employees. We'll see how it holds up. Lines were long on a Friday midday.

There is nothing I don’t like about IKEA, from the As-Is room, to trying to find your way back to the checkout section, to eating breakfast (even if they didn’t serve breakfast at this location), to watching the planes take off, to finding almost dead plants in the As-Is section to rescue, at a discounted price of course. I managed to get a good 7K steps in 2 hours of being at IKEA. Oh, and I love their long handle shoe horns!

I like to take the kids here on a hot day a few times each summer. They are well-behaved and really like to explore the room displays and get to choose a toy at the end, and I get to explore the kitchen and storage options. 😂 The store is also well set up to be convenient to bring smaller children. Although, I would appreciate a few double kid seat carts or for the "normal carts" to be available at the entrance. All in all, this store sparks joy.

We enjoyed shopping at this Ikea store. Very large selection of home goods. You can easily spend many hours and lots of money here. Staff were cool and friendly.

We visit every few months. Today (2024 August) was the first time visiting on a weekday morning. The place was empty - it was a very relaxed shopping experience. Update a year later (2025 August). Friday night visit. 6:30pm dinnertime. One one person working behind the counter. 30-minutes to get to the front of the line. Very disappointed and annoyed.

It's extremely clean, organized, and simple to find yourself around. And the products are reliable

For only $199, the IKEA Kilberget six-drawer white dresser can be purchased online, quickly picked up at the store, or delivered. For pickup (Click and Collect Curbside service), Excellent text message service and designated parking are available to inform the store of your arrival and where you park. When we arrived to pick up the dresser, the clerk put it in the car, and off we went. IKEA, thank you for the affordable furniture that serves the purpose.

We all love an occasional trip to IKEA, and today we drove to the Elizabeth location for the first time. Most IKEAs are similar in their offerings, but I'd say this one felt a little less nice and maybe a little smaller than the Red Hook counterpart. My biggest gripe with this location is the cafeteria. We wanted to enjoy our Sunday lunch here, and with not even that many people in line.... Maybe seven families ahead of us. We waited for more than thirty minutes!!! More than thirty minutes in line for cafeteria style plating - precooked food that is scooped onto a tray. The people serving were beyond slow, chatting among themselves, and so so so inefficient. It had been more than 5 years since I've eaten at IKEA. The food itself is very good for what it is. There's something comforting about eating peas, mashed potatoes, and meatballs with gravy. Under-seasoned in the best way? I wonder if the cafeteria is always that slow or if it was an off day. Get the pear soda!

Worst IKEA ever! Staff are not friendly and ONE CASHIER open for the entire store so as usual when you come to this store bake in an extra 30-45 minutes for waiting on line to pay.

Typical IKEA setup as one would expect. Way back when, this was once the flagship US store. This location has the added benefit of being located in an Urban Enterprise Zone (Elizabeth) which allows IKEA to only charged a reduced sales tax rate of 3.3125%. That's why you may end up seeing people from PA or NY drive to this location, especially if they're ordering several furniture items. With that said, this is your typical IKEA. Crazy enough, there used to be super long lines and next to no parking available. However, I recently visited on a Saturday and saw more than plenty parking spots available. Not much has changed in IKEA world over the years. Some of the infamous products still exist in 2024, You still have to walk through the entirety of the showroom and the market hall to get to the end. Customer service is scant at best. There is self checkout now - wahoo. Other than that, don't expect anything earth shattering from here.

We stopped by this location before heading home to get a snack. The store was huge and had a similiar layout to other IKEAs. You can walk through the showroom or go straight to the restaurant or warehouse. We stopped by at the restaurant before visiting the showroom. The line to be served was empty and there were a few people eating. We ordered our food and the server gave my friends extra meatballs without them asking. We assumed because they were closing within the hour. When we went to pay, we noticed the cashier charged us for the extra meatballs even though we didn't ask for it. My friend enjoyed their cake and meatballs. I was a bit disappointed with the chicken tenders. The meat is now processed and had that spongy meat compound texture instead of the whole white meat option they used to have. The food was lukewarm but it was filling and affordable for the cost. I am disappointed that the quality of the chicken tenders has gone down because that was my favorite thing to get here.

This place is 100% designed by a mad scientist who likes making mazes for rats. Even with the maps and signs for directions, you'll be confused where the exit is. This place is really expansive with 2 massive floors and will feel like an infinite loop if you don't pay attention. I'd recommend looking at what you want to buy online first and then try picking up in store since they supposedly save taxes if you buy in store.

Im a big IKEA fan.. my house is full of IKEA stuff.. when we moved to NJ, the first shop we went was IKEA. really affordable pricing, and it looks great.. they also are easy to install, and there are guides to install all furnitutes.. Weekends are just a little crazy . it takes a longggggg time for billing.. service could be better.. we love the marketplace and lighitng sections.. you can just pick up stuff from marketplace and bill them directly. There is also a AS-IS section with good discounts.. No returns on AS-IS.. They have a restaurant , but the food is average. not much tasty, but for the price its fine. Parking is crazy on weekends.. try going on weekday, and you will enjoy shopping.. Like this place overall..

Before you buy any furniture at IKEA, take a look at the chest dresser I bought at IKEA Elizabeth, NJ.

Management does not answer questions and passes the buck on other managers and walk away. Absolutely zero customer service.

It's only in the last few years that I've discovered the joys of a trip to IKEA. I guess that's a sign of adulthood. I found this particular location to be a bit underwhelming. It has the signature pathway through the store that takes you from living room to bedroom to kitchen, etc. However, I found that the staged rooms were quite cramped and a bit messy. It felt inefficient to have to walk through every nook and cranny to see the full inventory. In general, I wasn't impressed with their selection of sectional couches and other seating. I will say, they do have a cool closet creation service. You can use the computers in store to fully customize what type of storage you want and then you can purchase your selections online or get a QR code texted to you to buy later. This store also has a great cafeteria. The food was better than expected. I had previously tried their veggie meatballs and they were just okay. This time around, I tried the plant balls with mac and cheese and cranberry sauce. Everything was very tasty. The mac and cheese looks like Kraft but it's way better with sharper cheese. I felt like I was eating my holiday dinner early. It was awesome that all the food was reasonably priced and they had a good selection of condiments. They also have a frozen food section. I bought some of the plant-based meat and made a really delicious bolognese sauce with it at home. I also got pre-mixed frozen fruit for smoothies. So overall, 3 stars for the furniture, 5 stars for the food. Ideally those ratings would be flipped!

Located close to the outlets. Plenty of parking. Staff are friendly and helpful. I also had lunch at their food court everything was fresh and good.

Best place for a budget conscious college kid (my daughter) She loves coming here, and it doesn't break the bank, and yet, it's trendy and stylish

I've been to Ikea once in my life when I had no goals or end game. Now, that I am moving into my own place, I need a lot and needed inspiration. When coming to Ikea, be sure you have extra time, clear your whole day if you must. I would first like to say how I like how Ikea gives me inspiration and ideas of how I want to remodel my bedroom. There are so many room combos and color schemes that I had saw here to give me a light bulb above my head. Each bedroom had its own style and I appreciated it a lot coming from a person who can be super indecisive. Each section is labeled and there are multiple maps posted so you will know which area to go to and what's upcoming. So basically how it works is for the bigger items like whichever furniture you want to purchase, you must take a pic of the tag and go straight to #21 and look for the aisle and bin #. It might not be in the aisle so you would need to look on the middle floor to see if they have it displayed The only downside to Ikea is that it could get a little confusing because I was trying to find a certain aisle but it wasn't as clear on the maps as I would like it to be. Not only that, but I've noticed they are a bit short staffed when it came to their employers. I had to actually hunt down the first person I saw who had worked there. The employers I had met were pretty nice but it was just a hassle to flag one down. The one thing I cannot leave Ikea without having is their swedish meatballs. Be prepared to wait in a very long line in the cafeteria that brings me back to high school days. It gave me the vibes of how I only had 40 mins to eat until the bell rings for next period. The food here is priced fairly cheap and the MEATballs are delicious. I would skip on the plant based ones as they are much saltier than the regulars ones. Overall, my experience was good. I just got sucked in this store for HOURS -- this is not me being dramatic. I came back sweating and my back hurt a bit from the heavy lifting. This was my first time actually purchasing furniture from here so let's so how long it lasts!

I heard this was a superstore with lots to offer home/apartment shopping. Be prepared to spend many hours here, and I can see why they have a restaurant and food on every floor. As for their famous Swedish meatballs I wasn't fully impressed. The meatballs were a bit dry and tasteless. Everything else was good. Once you walk into the place you loose all your bearings, and wonder if you are lost. Just follow the arrows on the floor. Eventually you will make it to the registers. I was surprised that some of the items were not fully stocked. So what do you do? I HIGHLY suggest doing an online order then picking it up if possible. Sometimes you need the showroom to see what you would like to buy. Their showroom is located upstairs. Take pictures of the tags (name and code). This will help you when you get downstairs or if you do an online order.

This location is pretty limited. Tons of things out of stock or oversold. The events aren't worth going out of the way for either. My friend says that the food isn't like the other locations either. After looking at the food, I personally knew I didn't want to try it. But my friend is a loyal Ikea Family Member. Literally everything he has ever owned as an adult is from Ikea. This place was his first Ikea disappointment. He told me that he will never be returning to this location and he expressed being bummed out that this location is even an Ikea. I personally wouldn't bother with this location either, except to check out the "As Is" section at the checkout area. Today they had a memory foam king mattress for $275 because the plastic covering ripped a bit.

The workers were patient working among this inefficient system IKEA has in place. In short, IKEA has nothing more than a facade of efficiency. Use the info booths, to be told you require a worker's assistance. Sign a waiver to enter the aisle to pick up the item but required to sign the same waiver again to purchase the item. The area is blocked. Reverse and speak to another worker who prints you a paper, which you must take to the cashier. Worker reads out loud word for word the waiver you already signed. Automatic cart returning service but after waiting 15 minutes, in the end a worker manually gets you a cart. Walkie talkies used to convey info between workers. The terrible feedback disrupts the messages, so workers must repeat themselves. Tried to refund your item you bought online for pick up. Are told the process is so tangled it would be better just not to show up for pick up and they will automatically cancel and refund you. Feeling bad that some worker will have already found my item and prepared it for pick up just to put it back because no one came for it. Then after you decide to just buy another dresser & personally pick it up, they message you saying the one you bought online is available three hours earlier than they initially told you.... Which means buying in person is rendered pointless. Nothing is intuitive. A faulty system masquerading as a modernized, efficient shop. The workers were all kind and helpful. IKEA, do better for them We came with so much hope today. We left defeated. Additional note. The cart collector at the click&collect zone is working twice as hard as everyone else. Give him a raise.

Happy Thursday Adventurers! I love ikea because it just inspires so many ideas for my home. I have been going to this location for a few years because it's the closest or just the easiest. It's the same amount of distance to Paramus so maybe I'm spoiled lol. However, the times I've been here staff have been very attentive and helped with lifting the heavy bookshelves I had. The food, well I am not a fan of Swedish meatballs? But I do enjoy the salmon and the almond pie. I love this spot but be fair warned there's A LOT of potholes due to the area. So please be wary.

Good enough, the food is just ok, better than nothing. Nice to have the option in the store. The mac and cheese is in a kind of chalky sauce but my fiancé liked it. Salad only has two dressing options: balsamic vinaigrette and thousand island. The fries are good! The meatballs are good.

Haven't been here in years ever since they opened one in Brooklyn. They have self checkouts at this location. Everything seems to be more organized here. Only thing is they need to really update their prices because it's not accurate between the website and the store. Also kinda disappointed they don't have the lingonberry box drinks anymore or the cooler bags at the marketplace! Food court prices also went up.

I came here the other day specifically to purchase a desk and chair for my new job since I'll be fully remote. I've been here several times for several years but this is my first formal review. I've got stories...many memories here at ikea collected over the years. I really like this place. I find ikea to be my perfect go-to whenever I need certain pieces of furniture and quickly too. I remember coming to ikea when I was pregnant with a couple of my children. My husband and I would pick up a few pieces for the "baby's" room, bring it home, put it together and call it a wrap. My children are older and that furniture has been long trashed. The truth about ikea furniture is that it's cheap and made from some type of "wood" material but definitely not real wood so if that's what you're looking for, this is not for you. It serves it's purpose for a few years maybe a bit longer but definitely not furniture that you keep for longer then that. They have loads and loads of decor and many ideas on how to style/set up your place. You can totally spend hours in their showroom and get lost in their many styles of wonderful decor. They are more then furniture. They have lighting, plants, housewares, some toys, pictures, and oh yea...food and some other things. You may want to check out their cafe while you're there. I really enjoyed the dessert. Mission accomplished! I got my desk and my chair. I also picked up an almond cake, meatballs, and a few other food items from their cafe on the way out....all for well under $300 Did I tell you how much I really like this place?

ikea You have a problem with bedbugs. I visited your location last Thursday. My partner sat in your chairs at the exhibition for a few minutes and was bitten by bedbugs.

Drove 30 minutes to my closest IKEA store in Elizabeth, NJ to return a $15 marketplace item. Despite "pre-returning", I had to wait over an hour to hand over this item. This is an unacceptable amount of time to wait for such a basic return. Think twice before purchasing anything, since you will not want to experience their return process if you change your mind. Buyers be warned!

Ever thought of requiring a game plan before entering the store? Any Ikea should come to mind. Is golden when you already know what is it that you need, check the website to identify the area that is in, locate it in the laberynth like map and make sure to memorize the shortcuts in order to get there without being distracted and overwhelm. Here, is not so efficient. My anxiety always goes an umph level whenever I come here. Not only, I have go through a nightmarish route to get here but by the time I get there and inside it feels overwhelming. Cons: Anxiety overload with cluster and lack of organizations. Lack of availability of products. Pros: lower income tax, cheap furniture.

I always find what I'm looking for at IKEA was a little surprised that people were not really social distancing despite all the overhead announcements. Over all I got what I needed and left as quick as I could. Sonos+IKEA collaborated on a WiFi Bluetooth speaker. Got one and it sounds amazing.

I've been here several times and found they have decent inventory and keep the store pretty organized and clean. The customer service isn't great but I've found that to be a typical IKEA thing.

My family and I swung by to get some inspiration to design our new room. My 20 months old son love the showroom as it keeps him entertained and playing pretend in various type of rooms. This will definitely be a great place for those indoor days to keep the kiddo occupied. While Ice cream and hotdog was promised to my little one, there was none available at their market bistro which are found after the cashiers. This was a disappointment. They only offered bottles of soda, while they ran out of everything on the menu. So we proceeded to the cafeteria for their famous swedish meatballs. The cafeteria displays were empty and dark. They did serve their meatballs but we only got 8 and told that was they were to only serve that many. We ask for drinks, but their soda fountain and coffee machine broke down. So we ate the meatballs in sadness, only to find that our son dislikes it and enjoys chucking them onto the floor. Maybe my son knows something about the service and food than he lets on...

Coming from California where IKEA is an inexpensive but I overall nice starter furniture I was not expecting the horrible customer service the IKEA in NJ offers! We ordered a bed and a night stand for a student moving in a new apartment. Well, they sent a message about the delivery the day before at 8 pm and provided a link if you want to reschedule. We called 3 times and asked that the furniture is delivered after 12 - well, no they try to deliver it at 10 am. Does not matter that we called the previous night, did not matter that we called that morning. They do not work with you they work against you. The driver was being disrespectful to my husband. He said that he is not delivering after 12 and although we called so many times, all customer service reps explained that they cannot do anything. I wonder why there even get paid?!? NEVER AM I SHOPPING IN IKEA AGAIN. So many nerves and lost time. No, thank you!

I recently visited this location for the first time back in March. It was actually my very first visit to IKEA ever! On this occasion, it was my family and we first toured the show room. We enjoyed seeing all the room set-ups and configurations. Some items were even available for grabbing right off the show room floor. Small items like baby toys, and kitchen stuff. Next we went downstairs to the check out level and that's where you could pull stuff to buy. We didn't quite understand how the whole system worked. Later we realized you had to use the computers to tell you which aisle an item was located and then it got tricky because you needed to either pull it yourself or ask for help. We ended up buying blinds, two kitchenware items and a mirror right off the bat. Then I placed an online delivery order for a bedroom furniture and some storage cases. The online order delivery was extremely convenient and while I was nervous about the delivery company based off of reviews from other people - it went incredibly smoothly. The delivery team wheeled everything right up to my front door and I live in a high rise apartment now. The cafe area was nice and the food court part on the check out level was decent. I'm planning to go again so I can look around for longer without being rushed.

This is one of the older IKEA stores in the area. One perk is the 3.5% sales tax. Its showrooms are nice; visual merchandising is on point and I like getting ideas walking through. You can watch low flying planes pass by from the IKEA restaurant, and the food goods grocery area before you exit the store is usually well maintained and has good stock. However, no matter which IKEA store you go to, it's never a cake walk going through the stock aisles where you play the game of "but the tag says it's supposed to be here... why is it not here?" - the universal experience.

I love IKEA! I feel like I can come here for inspiration and it takes the stress out of decorating (at least for me). I've been to an IKEA overseas, and you guessed it, it's exactly the same. That's the point. With so much uncertainty when it comes to fixing and decorating a house...to make it a home, this is a good solution. There is a time and a place for everything. I'm not saying that all of my furniture is IKEA furniture, but I have a lot of it. If IKEA furniture isn't your thing, they also have paintings, plants, rugs, lamps, and more at affordable prices. It might sound like I work for them-- I really don't haha Also, if you ever want to buy or design your own kitchen, they will help you with the design for free. Only thing is that some employees are more helpful than others, but that's anywhere and everywhere. I've never "dined in", but from the reviews, apparently that's a big thing. I have bought their chocolate, which was good.

I provided IKEA additional time for my delivery by two days and on the day of delivery, they tell me the one of the two deliveries being promised in an 11 hour period will now come the next day. Thus requiring two days in which I have to be available. The second delivery date was moved to my granddaughters birthday party. I will be getting a refund for both deliveries which totals thousands of dollars and never do business with them again.

I'd have given this store 5 stars since I live ikea but the two things we went for werent in stock. There were plenty on display in rooms but not available for purchase while we were there. We also tried to sign into out ikea accounts on the computers by the restaurant and it took so long and never did let us sign in to get our card numbers and the last call for the restaurant left us without the option. We bought stuff we didn't need and some cinnamon rolls. That was nice enough.

Welcome to the worlds largest creator of 'fill' for your local landfill! I bought an outdoor chair in the spring. The seat gave out, even with very little use, without a receipt she could do nothing even though it is a signature IKEA item- uh, where do they think I bought it?

Went to Ikea for some shopping and food. Interesting place to shop as a family. Always get hungry when shopping here lol. Ikea is inspirational and gives ideas about decor.

This review only pertains to IKEA's return and exchange policies. We bought a pair of Trippevals blinds on April 17, 2019. Their return policy requires a copy of your receipt and the last 4 digits of your card. Their systems is OLD, not like Home Depot or COSTCO. The sign that states, "365, it's ok to change your mind" looks good, but you must SAVE your receipt or you are not allowed to return or exchange it! No wonder their Yelp review is bad. Yes, I was able to return those blinds. Good thing I kept the receipt. I wish they could upgrade their systems soon.

Very cool place to go to for home decor ideas. They have demo rooms throught the floors, a kids rompus room, cafeteria with buffet featuring their favorite frozen foods with meals as low as $5 and unlimited fountain/cofee/tea for just a couple of dollars! There is ample parking in the lot and when you exit there are rope stations that you can use to tie your stuf up and load to the car. You can easily kill half a day roaming about, they have specials sprinkled throughout the sections and I really liked the do it yourself shelving area, but the clearance section is downstairs on the first level near the registers. That's where you can piece together some furniture and let the handyman in you really frolic. The frozen yogurt is great and also just few dollars. I'd go back just for that PS: I never dare go to popular shopping places during peak times, so I can't speak to any madness that people experience because they like shopping during mob hours

I came here to take a stroll and get a slice of the IKEA chocolate cake. The cake unfortunately was dry and old. I've had it from two other IKEA locations before so I know this is not how it is supposed to taste like. The workers at the quick serve food area (located next to the checkout) were disorganized and kept asking us what we ordered when someone just took our order a minute ago. Some of the items were not fully stocked or neatly organized on the floor. There is only one checkout lane and even with more than 8 cashiers, the line takes a lot of time.

Worst customer support ever, especially the guy at the lost and found. Lost my car keys in the store, went to customer service for help, the dude told me I had to fill a form and they will contact me when they had it. And he straight up told me to wait until someone turned it in to lost and found. The problem is, when you lose your car keys, someone is going to pick it up and try to drive your car away (i have a Audi and a corvette key on the keychain). The only help I was asking is to have someone keeping an eye on my car while I go back to the store and look for my keys, so I don't have to stand in the rain next to my car until MIDNIGHT hoping someone could turn the keys in. If the keys don't show up I can't even go back home with my dining table. The guy didn't even try to help, like he don't even care about others, as a human being. I pushed him to call security for me (yeah finally). The security guy was very understanding of my situation, and he parked his patrol car next to mine while I went back to the store to look for my keys. It literally took me 5 minutes to find my keys. To the guy: next time you got into a similar situation, I really hope no one would help you.

Came here for the 75th anniversary celebrations and was able to get a free $20 gift card for being one of the first 75 people in line. They also had a wheel that you could spin for additional free prizes. I won a grill set, which was a tongs and spatula set--lightweight but sturdy and can't complain since it was free. Had their $2 breakfast plate but was a little disappointed that they only had fries instead of the breakfast potatoes that were advertised. The eggs tasted like they were powder; sausage was decent; but the pancakes and fries were delicious. Also, the coffee was very diluted and I probably wouldn't pay $1 for the mug but ikea family members get a complimentary mug to use so be sure to sign up! In terms of their furniture, etc., mostly good quality for the price. I bought a $0.49 dish brush, and the quality of this is better than any dollar store brush. Also picked up a ceramic toothbrush holder and soap pump set for $10; and spent the rest of the $20 on a couple hot dogs, froyo cones, and jar of orange/elderflower marmalade.

This is for the food court only. Busy Sat lunch and only 1 worker on one side and 2 on the other side working. Unfortunately I went to the line with the 1 server so waiting 30 mins for a meatball meal. Management should put out more workers on busy Sat lunch imo

One stop shop for all of your furniture and housing needs! Get lost inside all day - bring your family and friends. Eat at the cafeteria if you get tired and hungry. food is so good. Oh and the biggest thing - affordable prices!

Awesome! Very clean and efficient staff Great Food! I love shopping at this location, it is so relaxing and comforting

No good bed frames couch are pretty comfortable and they are expensive and bad room ideas don't waste your time go somewhere else.

I was just enjoying a day out in IKEA to shop for apartment essentials and decided to eat lunch in the cafeteria. There was a lady there who looked like Red from Orange is the New Black and she was the one who served me lunch. Of course I really enjoy chicken so I asked her for the chicken nuggets... when she sarcastically says "Ohhh look at the grown adult ordering chicken TENDERS!". It felt weird and targeted especially since I was with three other adults who ordered the same thing and were around the same age as me. The cafe was nice and I enjoyed the chicken but that was not customer service to me. That was customer disservice...

this was my first time here. its ok. i'm not into it like other people. i only got a dish towel and napkins. i did try the chicken fingers, fries, and garlic toast. very good! i can see why people rave about the food. its a huge place and if you dunno what ur doing u will be lost lol. i went with 2 ppl so yea! i'd only go back if i was invited lol

Never really got the idea of the maze design. I'm sure they try to keep customers inside and have them buy more and more. But for me it was just give up. I needed to return to the show room to make sure I am getting the right table. Once I saw the way I need to go back just to check it I have up. They should have options for shoppers who want to get out or to the cashiers without Going through the whole way of the maze they built here. Overall IKEA is great. But their selling tactics can sometime be annoying. Big tip: let them deliver. Minor $ for a big delivery.

Will give these guys a solid 4 stars. We placed an order through Click & Collect for a patio table. Didn't receive an email stating my order was ready to pick up but I drove there anyways during the pick up window (which was a gamble since we live in Philly). Happily, the table was already ready- they just forgot to mark it as ready for pickup. The whole thing from start to finish once we got there took about 5 mins- super quick and easy. Would highly recommend using the Click & Collect service if you don't want to lose your sanity for a few meatballs.

IKEA is a DIY furniture warehouse that whole families often tackle together. And on some days I'm super excited to walk down their aisles; however I hate it on the days when all of the tristate area seem to have the same idea. IKEA offers assembly and delivery for a fee allowing you to fully furnish your home all from one warehouse if you so choose to.. and for a fairly reasonable price. There's a cafeteria if you need a food break and a free supervised play area for your potty trained children between 37" to 54" tall. But they really need to do something about their checkout lines. It's enough to make you regret spending even one minute in IKEA. I've ran across a fair share of cashiers that were more concerned with chatting with each other than actually trying to clear the lines. It also confuses me as to how they have so many checkout lanes closed when their lines are backed up to that degree (think Walmart). I wonder if they have ever timed how long their customers wait to checkout on average. I would be willing to shop here more often if their checkout process wasn't such a deterrent.
