I have never been more unimpressed with a store than when I walked through an IKEA. I could not figure out at all why that place was such a big deal to some people.
It is the age gap. Young people and young couples love IKEA and the ambience. They love the 2020 style furniture and whatever else they have there, and the reasonable prices, I have been in IKEA only once. I bought nothing except 2 frozen food items and a hot plate of their Swedish meatballs in the eating area. The meatballs were good.
I have zero desire to return.
