IKEA

They even have designated parking spots for veteransand military personnel. As always, they provide excellent service and a great place to fulfill all your home goods needs.

We like Ikea, this location did not let us down. Roomy isles, plenty of inventory, lots of parking, several check out locations, huge elevator, prices are reasonable.

I always enjoy visiting IKEA. What I appreciate most is how they manage to combine good design with prices that feel fair and accessible. Not everything is perfect, of course, but for someone who loves simple, practical, and well-thought-out designs, it’s hard not to find something you like here. Every time I walk through the store, I pick up new ideas for making my space a little more functional and a little more comfortable. It’s a place that feels both inspiring and approachable — no pressure, just possibilities. I’m grateful that places like this exist.

I have been shopping at IKEA since I was a little kid back in Sweden. This place has always provided decent quality modern furniture at really low prices. Unlike many other bargain furniture stores that have extremely dated and unaesthetic offerings, IKEA is filled with contemporary and stylish furniture, light fixtures and accents. We went here as students for almost everything we needed and for a nostalgic visit to the Swedish store and restaurant. Sadly the Swedish store and restaurant have steady declined in offerings and quality over the years. In the past you could find Swedish staples like: Marabou (a wonderful Swedish chocolate), Löfbergs Lila Coffee (a great smooth and full bodied Swedish coffee) and various Swedish cakes like frozen mini Prinsesstårtas (a Swedish cake filled with raspberries, pastry cream and whip cream and then covered in marzipan). They still have pickled herring and some Swedish cheeses like Prästost, but the selection has dwindled considerably. 😕

We’ve been shopping at IKEA Renton for years, and it never disappoints! From furniture to kitchen goodies, plus plants, candles, and lamps many more there’s something for everyone. The deals are amazing, the store is easy to navigate, and the staff is super helpful. And seriously, don’t skip the vanilla yogurt treat, it’s a little piece of heaven! Always a fun shopping trip here.

IKEA Renton is reliably excellent, proving the chain's model of cheap, good-quality furniture works every time. It’s exactly the experience you expect, which is a good thing! ​The food court is a great value, serving up satisfying and inexpensive meals that hit the spot while you're shopping. Importantly, they are also an excellent option for dietary restrictions. While the restaurant doesn't advertise items as strictly gluten free due to cross-contamination risk, they do offer options like the veggie balls, chicken balls, and various potato/vegetable sides, which is very accommodating for my wife with Celiac disease (just be sure to ask a co-worker about the current safe dishes). ​The massive selection and reasonable prices on furniture ensure I always find what I'm looking for, and more! It's an inspiring place to visit, living up to its reputation for great value.

Why would you had the cold food fridge in the same line as hot food ? While the other side of cold food fridge are completely empty . They could have put the cold food on the other side so people don't have to wait 20mins in line just to pick up a premade meal . I can't believe this have been going for years and they can't even figure it out . Is the manager of this store started working here after graduated from 3rd grade or what ? What a joke .

We visited IKEA show room at Rendon Washington. It has located at in front of highway connecting major roads and more than 1million sqft bundles of lands. It has very spacious parking.it has 1/2 million sqft steel structures heavy fabricated construction. It has Several part of building materials and home appliances section. All furniture stack a area. It was nice and most products imported from several countries but quality, affordable, durable was good .we bought some furniture and carpet. It was beautiful. It has significant cook ware . Artificial flowers and trees.we can’t visited all departments and warehouses wheather spend 6 hours .it was very big stores.we were feeling tired when was searching materials. Affordable cost , premium look , quality product. We recommend IKEA

Shopping in Renton, Washington... I was on my way to Ross when I saw a super big sign for IKEA... I had to take a look. IKEA is a fun store full of furniture, linens, lamps, dishes, decorations, kitchen gadgets, tote bags, beds, plushies, and more! I enjoy looking at the creative ways that the merchandise is placed together! I was going to get a bath mat for my niece's apartment, but IKEA had one in her bathroom's color! There were colander, hangers, and panda plushies on sale... Gosh, the prices were so reasonable! I had to get them for her! Then, I heard an announcement on the PA system. The first 40 customers in line with an IKEA account would get a gift card worth $5 to $500... I rushed to pay and went outside by the balloons. I think I was about the 30th person in line! My gift card was worth $10. Thank you! I'll be back tomorrow to win again! Maybe I'll dine in the cafeteria... Happy 40th Anniversary, IKEA!

The biggest issue with this location is that you don't learn something is out of stock until after you've wandered the entire store, picked out what you want on the floor, and made it to the end. No joke, about 75% of the items we like on the floor end up being out of stock. Last year, while remodeling a bathroom, not a single sink + vanity combo was available. We even tried piecing one together separately, still nothing compatible in stock. That was wild to me. So we stopped shopping in-store and started using Click & Collect... which is also hit or miss. I've had some pickups go smoothly, but today was not one of those times. I ordered last night for a 10-11 AM pickup. That window passed with no update. I called around 2 PM and was told my order didn't even start getting picked until 1:30 PM and should be ready by 3:30. It's now 5:30 PM, still nothing. That's a 7+ hour delay for a scheduled pickup with zero proactive communication. Honestly, between the stock unreliability and these fulfillment delays, IKEA is becoming way more effort than it's worth.

We've bought stuff from here and quality wasn't too bad. I guess depends on what you get. But it's a great place for outfitting a first apartment or dorm. They have tons of furniture and Knick knacks. Just be aware of how prices compare. The prices here are reasonable for what you get. We also come here for the meals. The food used to be a lot cheaper but these days, eating out has become more expensive. We got the meatballs. Just be aware that they're salty! Even without the gravy. There used to be more desserts but it was late afternoon when we went. If you have a free membership there are deals. All in all it's just fun to walk around and check out the display rooms and furniture

Nice and affordable. I also enjoy the ice-cream and its pizza. Check out is bit long but it worthwhile the experience.

3.5 stars I've never been to an Ikea before, so I decided to stop in. Huge displays of furniture and everything else you need from paintings, stuffed animals, and candles. Prices weren't bad either. They sell frozen food, have a quick cafe with pizza and frozen yogurt, and a restaurant. I grabbed some dinner at the restaurant- $5.50 for a kid's meal that included 4 of the Swedish meatballs with gravy, lingonberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and mac n cheese and tried the pear soda. Most of the food was kind of bland and could've been a little warmer. They were out of a lot of the desserts, but wasn't that busy otherwise. 2025 #5

super duper big ikea, but they usually are like that lol. Did not do much shopping here with furniture as we all just came here for the cafeteria food. Had enough of a selection with sweet and savory foods, but was thankful that the Swedish meatballs were available. Nothing that matched to actual meatballs from Sweden, especially because no lingonberry :( the one that surprised me with how good it was: the selections of juice! Unlike any other flavors that I see in restaurants, shops, etc. definitely a must-try. Peas were very weak and tasteless, so not a good side with the Swedish meatballs. sauce was okay... at least they had a lot of tables and booths available. Nice and clean because customers knew to clean after themselves, but janitors ensured that the ground was squeaky clean! the servers of the food were competent at their job, so the long line dissipated pretty quick. I like that there is a big window that overlooks the parking lot of IKEA because we went during wintertime when it was snowing. Such a neat sight! meal was not that expensive, so worth trying at least for the first time

I love Ikea the prices are excellent and you can't miss the meat balls. I would shop here7ch more if it wasn't so far away. It is a little hard to find things with it all in a foreign language, but the prices are fantastic

Classic IKEA experience with great furniture selection and affordable prices. The store layout is easy to navigate and the meatballs are always a tasty treat. Can get very crowded on weekends, but overall a reliable spot for home essentials.

Very difficult finding employees to assist you with finding products in-store. Turns a 20min trip to a 45min-1hr trip trying to navigate this labyrinth of a hangar. The redemption comes from the children's section, my kids enjoy picking out stuffed pets while I take deep breaths and try to remember which direction we came from and where to go next

Because of defective product, I had to drive 40 minutes to IKEA, wait for 60minutes for return and for the replacement, and now I have to drive 40 minutes back home. Very frustrating and very very angry. Very understaffed facility with no help.

I grew up with an ikea next door back home and I loved it. I was a little disappointed to find out that this ikea is 2 hours away from us but we make it into a whole day adventure. We take our time walking through the showrooms to get inspiration then we grab lunch in the cafeteria. Once we are done eating we head to the self service furniture area and grab whatever we need. We've never had a problem with ikea and I love getting all the inspirational ideas from the show rooms!

So IKEA, yes the Scandinavian inspired design store now made primarily in china. Really the IKEA website is where to start and then pick the Renton location to check stock of items as honestly who like driving down to industrial Renton!? Otherwise, grab your goods, grab a snack and get your Scandachina design on!

There were a few household items that we weren't expecting to find, but happy we did. There were some merchandise that we've seen, but didn't need because we already have in exact same colors. Quality and prices for merchandise we're searching are reasonable. Two workers tried to help me find what I was looking for. We had to extensively search. Found the item. Thank you both for your help.

This is our favorite place when on the continental US. Love everything they offer and more, but the cafe is our favorite grab a quick meal. Love the Swedish meatballs, salmon, green salads, desserts and side dishes. And they upgraded the soda dispenser to flavored seltzers. Tried with Mac and cheese and we loved it, different kind of cheese. Particularly loved this day, it was 50% off each entree (limited offer)

Had to go to ikea for the first time in years to get cabinet for a very specific space. Fortunately I found exactly what I needed at a price that was reasonable, but it was a complete pain to actually get. Firstly, The wrong pallet was in the spot where the item was supposed to be and we had to get an associate to help us. After finding all the pieces required (one was out of stock and so I had to find another option) we made our way to the registers to check out. My Family Account wasn't working so they had to call over a manager to enterer HER code. We were not informed that the code could be entered just once a day however. One family member made his purchase first (the smallest order) and when it was my turn to check out, we had to call over the manager again to enter her code, but it could not be done bc she'd already entered one for us. That means I missed out on getting the family benefits on my the largest and most expensive order (about $300). Then we were attempting to take our things to the car and the checker said we could not take the shopping bag we'd been using to the car. I'd forgotten my bag in the car and I was going to return the shopping bag when I returned the cart. She said no and said I'd have to buy a bag. I told her I wasn't buying a bag to carry stuff 50ft to the loading area. It was pretty ridiculous. I'll be thinking twice before buying stuff in person from ikea. What should have been and easy pleasant experience was a total pain and though a few of the folks who helped us were incredibly nice, the checker was rude and unhelpful. (0ver a beat up $1 bag!) This is the worst IKEA location I've ever been to. And when I got home a piece of the cabinet I'd purchased was the wrong color - the box had been mis marked.

If shopping at Ikea be aware of potentially misrepresented and misleading pricing. As we were shopping, we picked up a set of sheets and took a pic of the tag showing the discounted price. We had to be Ikea Family member to get that price so signed up online and scanned card and items. Sheets rang up at full price. We were in self-check so had an employee come help. I showed her the pic. She looked on website and said it is not onsale. I said it is shown with this lower price right now in your store, I just took that picture. She left to look into it and came back a few minutes later stating the department staff member she called said it is not on sale, it is full price. Did they change the tag then??? If this in an honest mistake they will change the displayed price. If this is a systemic pattern of bait and switch.....buyer beware and shop elsewhere!

Maybe we were spoiled by the West Covina location in soCal but this one left a lot to be desired, especially the restaurant. We are in a perpetually rainy state and you have outdoor parking? With cardboard boxes? Make it make sense. Maybe sunday's are the wrong day to go, but I feel like a lot of the stock was out throughout the store. We couldn't find black cutlery. We couldn't find certain pillows. We couldn't find certain bedding. Don't even get me started with the restaurant. It used to be enjoyable (again, maybe Covina just got it on lockdown, idk) but this one was a hot mess and a half. None of the soda fountains worked. I got charged for 4 water bottles even though I clearly had 2. I asked the remaining cashier for help and she didn't speak English and told me to wait for the cashier who made the error. Well, that gal never came back so after a while, my annoyed husband just went and grabbed us 2 more bottles to end the dumb misery. That's when a manager showed up to check in with us. Whatever. The food left a lot to be desired. Peas were hard, garlic loaves were hard, mash was meh, there were no fountain drinks, and it was so hot. We came out of there drenched in sweat. My husband works HVAC and he was perplexed - why spend so much money on a huge system that you won't turn on? I love the concept of the little childcare area but what's the point if the parents still bring their crotch goblins with them and let them run amuck? It would be so easy to snatch a couple and sneak out. It's insane that parents just let them run ahead of them and hide and be content in focusing on kitchens instead of the well-being of their kids. But I digress. Go at your own risk.

IKEA has a fun menu that most people can find something they enjoy. We add an hour to our trip plan so we can enjoy a meal. The lines can get long, I waited about twenty minutes to get my meal my last visit. The furniture is self explanatory, either you want to be part of the manufacturing process or you don't. I don't mind it so it works for us.

Wanted to purchase a new kitchen cabinet suite. I had to go to the store to design it because there was no way to do it correctly with the software online they provide. I had a really nice lady help me in the store. Now that I am home, I tried to pull up the design on my account and I cant figure out where it is. I called the 888 number and the gal on the phone had no idea what to tell me on where to go to access it. I hung up with her and tried to call the 888 number again to speak with the woman who help me in the store.... NOPE. no answer in the store and was told to call back tomorrow. by the 888 number guy. BUT... They are open for another 1.5 hours.. Why tell me to wait until tomorrow?? UGH .. this much trouble and I have not even purchased the kitchen yet.. I will most definitely NOT be purchasing the kitchen from them. Way to much of a hassle and not able to speak with anyone.

We purchased a storage bed and mattress for a spare bedroom. A few days later we decided on different plans for the bedroom and to cancel the order. We contacted customer service prior to delivery and were able to cancel the order within minutes. However, that when service changed. National customer service was not able to process our refund and said that the local store would have to process the refund since it was a in-store purchase which was required due to delivery. National customer service would not give me the number to the local store which is not published and only put in a ticket. Was told I would be called either that afternoon or the next day. Not called within the timeframe so called National customer service again. Multiple transfers but finally got me to someone who gave me the local store number. Called the store and got vmail. Never called back. Had to call them multiple times before finally getting someone at the resolution desk. Took over 35 minutes on the phone with the resolution desk to process the refund. This is nuts. Will never purchase anything from IKEA again! Buyer beware

Came to ikea to browse for my new apartment and for an easy meal. It wasn't super busy that day which was nice to have the ability to get through the store without much hustle and bustle. The restaurant had a very long line though and not much selection in their cold case. However we were there for the meatballs and of course they had them there. They're always consistent and well paired with the gravy and mashed potatoes. The veggies were as good as steamed veggies can be - not much flavor and no salt at all. It was a bit more expensive than I expected or remembered so maybe next time, order the 16 pc plate and split with folks instead of the 8 pc plate for one person.

I love this place! Such a fun way to spend the day. The place is 2 stories with the top row being the food court and showroom and the bottom floor being the area where you get the actual bigger product like furniture. I could spend the whole day in here but it definitely is a maze so I wouldn't come all the way in if you are in a time crunch. 10/10 will be back.

I don't quite understand the low scores, you know what you get at IKEA and I always had a great experience. This time around I bought a loft bed + mattress and sheets and got it delivered to my door. The whole ordering and delivering experience was flawless. Then we decided to find a set of cabinets that would work as stairs, instead of using the bed stairs. Went online on IKEA.com and found the Trofast series. Added that to my shopping list, so I knew where to find it in the store and went to the store to see it, to determine if it could work. I felt like it was sturdy enough so we bought it and, after a minimal reinforcement work with parts from Home Depot, now we have a very convenient, space saving and useful setup. In the past I had to deal with returns and spare parts and the experience was always pleasant.

Hold on...I am not saying IKEA is Ethan Allen. However, there are a few items to seriously consider. My #1 would be their selection of unscented candles. IKEA taper candles are AMAZING! I love, love, love the 13.75" white ones @ 8 for $11.00 (less than $1.40 each). They are so romantic and sexy in their stature. They will definitely make a presence at any dinner party, wedding, or soiree, not to mention on those rare nights when you bring out those cool silver candlesticks you found at Goodwill and lock yourself in the bathroom for a bubble bath with the really great wireless headphones that block out the dog, the "discussions" over whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher...ahhh...but I digress... ; ) AND... The 20-pack of 7.5" white tapers for just .50 a piece? Hurray! Both share my favorite qualities: The color is consistent. They really are pretty "dripless." The price is fantastic! Even against Amazon! I have used these beauties for years and have tried (more expensive) "tapers" to no avail. I ordered mine ONLINE! Hurray!!! The pillars are pretty fantastic as well, just saying! I am not a fan of any scented candles just because I would prefer to control the scents at a party; that's just me, but their white ones are RIDICULOUSLY REASONABLE AND INCREDIBLY FABULOUS! Try these; you will thank me!

Love Ikea, definitely an unique shopping experience. I like that they are inexpensive in general but great designs. The whole store is organized well that you hardly have to reach out to the staff with questions. The returns process is quite simple as well. The only thing I dislike about this ikea is that, a good number of items are out of stock very frequently. May be because it's the only ikea in the state ? I haven't seen this in other ikeas in the places I lived before. There is a lot of parking in the premises. I highly recommend this store for anyone looking to furnish their homes without breaking their bank.

I hate ikea so much my ikea desk broke apart upon opening and I had to reconstruct it manually in really mad and I hate the ambiance I feel like I'm inside of a Denny's at 4 am on Tuesday it's hella scary

The king of affordable furniture that you assemble on your own. This massive warehouse in Renton provides so many ideas and options thanks to their well designed displays. My suggestion is to come right when they open or right before closing. It can get pretty busy and crowded during the peak hours and on weekends. We came here to buy an affordable option for a kitchen pantry. Pricing out a custom option would have cost me over $2,000. We found a beautiful piece for $400. Yes, you have to assemble it yourself, but that's the reason why it is so affordable. And don't forget to sign up for an Ikea account and download the app. I got 5% off my entire purchase, which helps to offset some of the sales tax cost.

This location is typically clean and has easy parking. The showroom floor is pretty on par with other Ikeas I've been to. However, they often have low stock and things are hard to get on the warehouse floor. I like to browse the kitchen section on the bottom floor, where they often have some new items. The cafeteria is also easy and haven't run into any issues when getting food. Except why oh why do they never have soft serve?! Fix that thang, Ikea. Thank yoooou.

IKEA is always great when it comes to inexpensive furniture and other utility item. It's almost an hour ride for me to reach the only IKEA in this area. Visited couple of times recently to pick up some essential stuffs. Parking- plenty! The shopping experience is unique. You find the items you like, note them down and pick them up in the end from huge racks. Special mention to their food counters. They are pretty good as well. Not expensive at all. What I don't like about this place is their lousy service. No matter which IKEA you go, it's the same story. The lines are very long, at the same time many counters are closed. They encourage to self check out, but hardly anyone to assist when there's an issue or any confusion. And the pick up is even worse. They knew that we are there to pick up the item, still it take ages for the item to come out. You definitely can take a nap for a while before your item is available. It's that terrible. Not sure whether it's the volume or the people. Either way that experience sucks!

Returns take so long! . Only 2 employees working for 20 customers who are waiting. Each customer has numerous pieces to return from their projects. It's taking forever!

This review is for the food area. The lines can be awfully long after opening. It would be nice if they opened up 2 sides of the cafeteria but maybe they don't have enough employees. Here's a food tip (and if you're indecisive like me): you know how when you go to a food place and you want to try everything but don't want to commit to a full entree. Order for the kids meal. Gaaaaame changer! I wanted some chicken tenders but also wanted some swedish meatballs. But I don't want to order 2 full meal, because that's overkill. I ordered both from the kids menu and added in a mac and cheese. It came out to be around $8 and was a good enough portion. The food area has ample of seating area, and a lot of good lighting. I would totally recommend coming here for breakfast or lunch, as they have some bacon and eggs for breakfast.

It's the only Ikea in the state so you're stuck with what you got. All Ikeas are the same, so if you've been to one, you've been to all of them. If you know the tricks of getting to what you need in store, you don't have to do the whole walk to Bataan that is the display rooms. The only thing that sucks is lack of scooter carts for the disabled. Thumbs up to the Monday night bingo. It makes the place feel like a community center and it's a nice free date activity, but you have to rsvp and the space fills up fast a month in advance. They have wheelchairs you can borrow so at least there's that, but my mom likes the independence of getting around without my help. It makes her feel like she's still thriving. I like how the meatballs come in small and big portions so you have options.

Do not buy kitchen countertops through Ikea. They use a company Caesarstone who contracts out to Florform who can see has horrible reviews and then Florform contracts out to someone else to install. I had to have over 70 phone calls with FlorForm, 20 text messages, 8 visits to my house and be without a workable kitchen for 2.5 months just to get countertops installed. I would love for the higher ups at Ikea to see this review and contact me. They need to fix this process. FLOFORM Countertops 2.4 (104 reviews)

Love their Swedish meatballs with the sauce and mashed potatoes!!! Also got their mac and cheese. It was a good serving size for the price. Love getting a bite to eat before or after walking around the showrooms. Love that you can buy frozen ones to make at home as well.

Food rating only! The line in here on a weekend was absolutely insane. Sure it's a weekend, but it took nearly 45 minutes to get the food. Though I will admit picking up the trolley cart and wheeling things over is kind of cute. I like their cranberry drink option because it's one of the unique ones, and their meatballs are definitely worth getting. The chicken is fine but nothing special -- target those meatballs! I honestly recommend just getting nothing but servings of meatballs separately rather than the meal. More worth the money. The cake was a pleasant surprise because it wasn't as crazy sweet as I imagined it might be. The soft serve only comes in a cup now due to COVID (?) and looks a little silly, but it's tasty. Vastly prefer other options over it but it'll do. Fun experience if you're willing to dedicate the day to shopping and waiting for food both!

Came here for furniture shopping but needed food before all the crazy walk in the store. They always have the greatest Swedish meatballs, gravy, and mashed potatoes! It felt like a thanksgiving meal but better than having Turkey. I personally obsessed with the broccoli and potatoes thing(I forgot what's it called), but my bf doesn't. So this dish is only based on different preferences. This is the first time I tried the steam veggies, from my perspective I think they are good. Sign up online for ikea family member thing and you will get free coffee everyday when you go there.

Disappointed and Frustrated by Months-Long Delivery Nightmare I wish I could leave a glowing review, but my experience with Ikea has been one of the most frustrating transactions of my life. On October 18, 2024, I ordered a Kallax shelving system with multiple inserts to celebrate a meaningful milestone--one year cancer-free. After much deliberation and planning, I was excited to finally treat myself to something I had wanted for years. Unfortunately, the delivery process has been an absolute nightmare. My original delivery date, November 2, 2024, came and went with only part of my order arriving. The essential inserts were canceled without notifying me, rendering the shelving unit unusable. I had specifically consolidated the order to avoid multiple shipments and the high shipping fee I had paid. Since then, I've experienced delay after delay: November 9, 2024: Delivery was rescheduled, and my mother waited all day at my new home, only for the delivery to never arrive. November 23, 2024: After more delays and confusion between Ikea and the delivery company, my delivery was canceled again. December 7, 2024: Another failed attempt, with excuses about ferry issues, despite visible availability. December 21, 2024: After multiple confirmations leading up to the date, my delivery was delayed several times throughout the day and ultimately canceled. Now, the next scheduled delivery is January 8, 2025--almost three months after my initial order. I've had to pay an additional $400 for storage fees for the items this shelving system was meant to organize. While Ikea's customer service representatives have mostly been kind, the partnership with this delivery company is a disaster. I was even told to handle the issue with the shipping company directly, which is completely inappropriate. As Ikea's customer, I should not be left to resolve problems with a third-party contractor that I didn't choose. Ikea needs to seriously reconsider its logistics strategy and offer alternative shipping methods for customers in areas like mine. Other companies--UPS, FedEx, or even local freight services--have successfully delivered large items to my island without any issues. What should have been a joyful purchase has turned into a months-long ordeal. Ikea has offered refunds for the shipping fee and a small credit, but the stress and wasted time far outweigh any compensation. Please, Ikea, do better. This experience has left me hesitant to ever order from you again.

I made my first order online from Ikea. It was shipped from Ikea in Renton. The sender address is 601 SW 41st St (Ikea Renton address). They sent me a different shelf unit, and we realized it after we almost assembled it, because they looked similar. I contacted customer service by chat. All they agreed to do is to send the correct item and waive the shipping fee of $10. And we'll have to ship them back the incorrect item. I asked if they can refund at least half of the the missing item. It's not a big sum. The entire shelf cost $44.99. So half would be about $22. But they refused to do even this. Only $10 fee, and that's it. I realize that $22 is also a small refund, but at least it feels more fair, a half of the missing item. My husband now will have to disassemble the incorrect item and put it neatly into the packaging. We had to carry the heavy incorrect item to our floor. Now we'll have to carry it back down to the mailing room. I 'll have to cover all previous labeling and remake the shipping material, print return label, call fedex, etc. On top of this, I wasted about an hour chatting with their customer service (first with a regular agent, then with a supervisor). And all they can offer me in exchange is to waive the pathetic $10 shipping fee. Zero flexibility. And on top of this the first agent showed total lack of attention for detail. I gave her the article number of the missing item in the beginning of the chat. When I fully explained the issue, she requested this number again. I said that I already wrote it above. She found it. But then in the end she said that 2 items of this articles were ordered, even though I ordered only 1. That means that she mixed up with a different article in my order, and if that wasn't caught, she could send me a wrong item again. And then they would likely force me to do another return and do zero refund. Additionally, I asked if they can at least do expedited reshipping of the correct item, but they couldn't do even this. I have to wait another 5 days to receive my much needed shelf. The very first online order from Ikea demostrated that a big percentage of their employees are simply sleepwalking at work, not paying attention to what items they pack into shipping, nor what items are requested to reship. I dealt with 3 employees of Ikea (the one who packed my shipping, the first customer service agent and the customer service supervisor). 2 of the 3 employees made mistakes. Ikea absolutely doesn't respect customer's time and trouble their workers' negligence cause. Given that the very first order went so wrong and showed Ikea's customer service in all its patheticism, it seems that the percentage of online orders they mess up is 100%. At least, that's true in my case. One orders from Ikea at their own risk. Update 4 days later: It's unbelievable, as long as the story with Ikea already is, it's just the beginning. 4 days later after the situation described above, I still didn't receive any notifications that my replacement shelf was shipped. So I contacted customer service chat again. I was shocked by their answer. They said they couldn't charge me for the replacement as payment was declined. But the replacement was supposed to be sent for free as I already paid for this item originally!!! And I double-checked this with that so called supervisor in the previous chat. Turned out that so called supervisor created a replacement order incorrectly and didn't check the box that the order is supposed to be free, while assuring me that it will be free. And if that wasn't enough, the person who handled the shipment, tried to charge me again. When the payment didn't go through (fortunately), they simply abandoned the order and didn't even contact me, even though the order shows my phone number and email on it (I received it by email). When I asked if I can discard the wrong item I received from them as it's taking half of room in my apartment, the agent again said no and that I have to return it. I asked why then didn't they still send a return label if 4 days have passed since my previous chat. The agent said that she added a note to the corrected replacement order so that they send me a return label. Does that mean if I didn't ask, they would never send it to me, and I would have this piece of garbage in my room indefinitely??? It is obvious at this point that Ikea is totally disfunctional through and through. One person doesn't know what the other is doing. There is zero accountability. At this point I dealt with 5 employees (original order shipper, previous chat agent, so called supervisor, replacement order shipper and today's chat agent). 4 of those 5 employees made errors. It's been almost 2 weeks since I ordered a shelf from Ikea. I still don't have it. Unfortunately, Yelp has a limit on the length of the review. So I won't be able to post updates on whether they will handle this repeat replacement order properly this time.

Ikea meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberry is a classic and absolutely delicious. Guilty of traveling to Ikea before just for this dish. Cafeteria style, bus back by yourself at the end. Clean spaces, lines move very fast. Besides this and the soft serve though, everything else is pretty disappointing, especially their cakes.

It's been my first time at IKEA, and of course everyone's tells me to try the food court, to get the full experience. We ended up getting the lemon crusted cod, meatballs, mash potatoes, and the almond cake. I was a big fan of the lemon crusted cod, I just wished that it was a full portion instead of giving me the broken pieces. The meatballs were pretty good, and I enjoyed the sauce with it. The star was definitely the almond cake. The almond cake WAS SO GOOD. I loved the structure of shopping there but the little cafeteria took the cake! It was so cute. The parking at IKEA definitely favors all the customers, there's so much parking & it makes it so convenient for everyone. We ended up also getting a few of the furnitures & it's really easy to build. The employees could be a little more helpful, both in the warehouse & in the cafeteria. All in all, I'll definitely be back.

Had lunch at the cafe today... husband was very disappointed as he loves their smoked salmon lunch plate--- they did not have it. they are very very short staffed and they told us they did not have enough help to prepare the salad plates with the salmon. My meatball plate was good, but it took us 25 minutes to get through the lunch line and we were only behind 8 people! Cafe is well decorated, clean and pleasant, but they need more HELP NOW!

I love IKEA. The food and drinks are great, and walking through the store is a nice and relaxing experience. Plus, they have a discount area where you can find some great deals. They have a vast assortment of items, but often rotate their products.

A trip to IKEA is our daughter's favorite thing to do. It's always fun to come here as a family. The staff is so helpful and everything runs so smoothly, even the returns (you scan a QR code and get called up to the desk by name). But even though their return area looks very cool and not stressful, we absolutely love everything we've bought from this IKEA and haven't ever had to return anything. Our daughter loves her loft bed and even though it's for older children our nearly three year old boy has already figured out how to navigate it safely. I love their art supplies and art supply organization products, it really help keep our art closet from being a disaster. A big thank you to Catherine for supporting the local youth soccer community. We are so grateful for IKEA's support to help purchase new soccer equipment and uniforms for The Norpoint Soccer Club. IKEA is very involved in the community and we are so happy to support them.

Pretty busy nearly every time I go but I'm always able to check out quickly and find parking pretty easily. Just like most other IKEAs. Friendly staff. Clean and well kept show rooms and warehouse areas. Parking lot is large and spots are always available. During peak times you might have to walk a little bit though.

**FOOD REVIEW** I usually love all of IKEAs food, the only thing I have to say is that the peas were undercooked but also overcooked (?), and they were out of Lingonberry juice . My salad is plane in this picture, but that's because I could not find the dressing, I couldn't have been bothered to look too long. Meatballs were still good.

It's IKEA. It's huge. It's overwhelmingly huge to be honest. But if you stay focused and follow the lighted arrows guiding you through the store you will find your way. The typical things are here. Loads of room ideas all designed with items you can purchase from IKEA. Fun to look around and affordable prices. I came with a purpose to buy a utility cart for my classroom. Of course a few other items ended up in my car. No worries. I appreciate the low cost and quality offered at IKEA. The parking lot is also, you guessed it, HUGE!!! Come one, come all. And always, happy Yelping.

What kind of person writes a review for Ikea?.. It me. A visit to Ikea, whether I need something or not, has always been a favorite pastime of mine, even before 500 days of summer. Although I miss the old Renton Ikea for nostalgia sake, I must admit the new store is much better, and the restaurant is certainly a nicer experience. Despite not always having inventory of things I need, the store layout is the usual fun maze, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Self checkout seems to have made the wait times somewhat better. I also enjoy the fact that you can waitlist yourself for returns, leave your items in a locker, and shop the store or grab a meal until its your turn. I imagine Ikea restaurant's stateside are fairly standard, but I've never had a bad dining experience here. Meatball plate a must, chicken tenders are good, and the flourless chocolate cake is a favorite! You'll no longer find a parking garage here, which isn't ideal for the cold/rainy days, but there is a covered loading area you can relocate your car to after shopping to load up furniture without battling the elements. I usually hit up Ikea on weekday evenings, so I can't say much about the parking situation or wait times to checkout or eat in the restaurant.. i'd avoid visiting on a Sunday for sure.

The space is beautiful here but the food lacks any and all flavor. I'm sure it's because it's all canned, frozen and boxed fake food but if you these guys actually cooked, this place would be a 10/10. It's cool that kids eat free on Wednesday, but it all taste like plastic. Also, for what the cheesecake is, it's way overpriced at $5 for a slice when it doesn't even taste good. The mashed potatoes are just water and that fake potato sud stuff. No butter, salt, garlic or anything and by the color of the salmon it's probably farm raised. It's like prison food. I tried picking a colorful, veggie filled plate for my girls but literally it had 0 taste to it and the pastries were just all sugar, nothing to really savor or enjoy. Staff is friendly though, I'll give them that. This place would be good for low income families because it's cheap but like I said, it's all canned. Something like a really nice soup kitchen with nice furniture.

Furniture is what you expect. I had some furniture last years and multiple moves. While other furniture (couches) do not last a year. What used to be the best thing about Ikea was the cafeteria but each passing year gets more disappointing. Like the Costco hot dog, the swedish meatballs must be sacrosanct everything else is either not there or cheapened. The salmon plate is a sliver of meat and the veggie meatballs is the healthiest plate since it's inedible.
