I've been to IKEA once. The one in Oak Creek ourside of Milwaukeestan. Once was MORE than enough! My BFFs love it for some reason; it just gives me sensory overload. The Swedish Meatballs were good though, so it wasn't a totally wasted day. :)

Diana; Good Lingonberry and other preserves (Marmolade and elderberry flower!) preserves and good Chocolate! Swedish cafeteria is fun!

IKEA products are well designed visually pleasing cheaply made products for the masses! Kitchenware products, glass, metal, should last a long time if you do not drop them. Furniture is generally only going to give you several years use before the composite board starts to fall apart, which makes it fine for someone attending college. They use canola oil in a lot of their bakery products so I will not buy them.

I have never been inside an IKEA store, even when they first opened one up. Never had any desire. My daughter loved their stuff for a while, but it was when she was just out of college, and starting life on her own. I don’t think she has much left of it now.
