Everything you'd expect from an IKEA store: nice showroom + a big ol' warehouse. Hard to find help in the warehouse if you need it, though. Cheap concessions-type food (hot dogs, soda) near checkouts.Upvoted Jan 20
The shortcut to the home decor is a double-door on the first floor behind the escalator, right past smaland. If you're a repeat visitor and don't need to see the 2nd floor showrooms.
Lauren MeherJune 22, 2013Free magic forest playland for the kids while u shop. They give u a pager in case your kid needs you and it seems very secure! Cool.
Sarah HummellJune 23, 2010I find myself going here just for the food. Amazing and cheap. I found things here I need, and never knew existed. Check out the clearance section next to the register you'll be amazed @ what you find
NealJune 9, 2015Get the Patrol green alligator bath mat in the kids section. My favorite IKEA purchase ever.
Saturday is super busy! But a great place to leave the kids for an hour to play!
wear your walking shoes. there is a lot to see and it takes time to get through the entire store. use your phone to take pics of what you want from the showrooms...lifesaver.
John M. PetersDecember 23, 2016This IKEA is the biggest IKEA I have been in and the selection was wonderful. Something for all ages.
Matt FrazierAugust 17, 2012TONS of assembly required on their furniture, but great stuff! If a piece is missing, you have to go to the store and wait in line with the returns/exchanges crowd. Sometimes can take awhile.
Be sure to wear good walking shoes because you will need them! Its like 8 super wal-marts all put together (floor space). Check out the as-is section before leaving!
Patti AndersonDecember 30, 2017Use the IKEA app to keep track of your shopping list. Scan what you want into your shopping list.
CeeJayJuly 19, 2013Best to shop Monday - Thursday during the day...evenings & weekends are busy and they never have enough lanes/registers open.- The As-Is section is mostly either floor displays or items that have been returned and instead of putting the back out on the floor, they put them in the as-is section which offers uuber deals!
Aubrey Tamrakar 🇳🇵🇺🇸June 22, 2013"There will be someone outside to watch your stuff, and they will also help load your car in the loading zone." **LIE!!!** Bring someone to do the heavy lifting with you.
Daniel PoolerMarch 20, 2015Place was nearly empty on a Friday at 4pm yet the line was about sixty people deep. 26 registers, 3 people working... I had hundreds of dollars worth of stuff and I left it right there. Manager?
Grayson ShulerAugust 22, 2015Great furniture and cool accessories. Amazing food - meatballs are great!
Kari HessNovember 9, 2018If you aren't lucky enough to live in a city with an IKEA, feel free to spend the day in ours!
Jennifer DickinsonJanuary 5, 2015Become an ikea member, have lunch and spend enough in the shop to have your lunch bill refunded on your sales receipt!
Winter SchatzAugust 17, 2015Super cheap everything. Saturday is usually packed though, including the restaurant.
Elizabeth AlexanderJanuary 6, 2013Going later in the evening can help with the crowds. We went last night, and there were very few people there. Just had to wait in line longer to check out.
Skip getting a bag at the escalator. Upstairs all you need is a pencil and order card. You can get a shopping cart or bag when you come back downstairs.
LeeRoss The Boss EshelmanAugust 31, 2012Be careful it can turn into a full day event, bc there are so many deals and u can get your head busted real quick.
Joe RaapDecember 4, 2013Take a picture of the tags in the showroom with your phone so you can easily find them in the warehouse section.- AUDIOMINDMarch 31, 2011Went looking 4 a bed frame. Found one we liked and went downstairs to get the frame, sides and supports. However, they were out of the sides. Come on guys. Take it off the display floor if you're out!
Josh DOctober 7, 2016I like walking through the showroom and seeing all the cheap furniture. Now if only they'd build a Triangle-area store...
They have free wi-fi. Helpful if somebody else in your party is doing some intense shopping.
Ben MarvinDecember 7, 2012Make sure to take a couple Swedish meatballs and stick them in your wallet. You never know when you're gonna need a meatball.
Naejay PMay 23, 2013Don't b in a hurry, there is a lot to see. Check out the "as-is" department, some good deals.
Shelby HowardMay 14, 2013Not so easy to run in a find aghhh my Hibachi getting cold maybe i should have hit target but gotta go for the lowest price. We after financial freedom JOIN US SAVVY BY YOU
Melissa JumperDecember 27, 2011With bedding, you choose your comforter (duvet), then choose any filling (1-6) to go inside. 1 is coolest, 6 is warmest.
The cafe actually has pretty good food, especially the chicken tenders and meatballs
Rocky PatelApril 2, 2013Make sure you pick up a free slice of measuring tape, a pencil, and a brochure to write down where your stuff is in the self service aisle!
Eric ShmericNovember 24, 2012If you buy a drink in the cafeteria, you can bring your receipt to the grocery section at the check out for a free to-go drink.
Come on the weekdays if you live close by, it gets crazy on the weekends with alot of out-of town people- AUDIOMINDOctober 3, 2011Good for organizing your own personal domain, but much of it is particle board wood. Remember to take shortcuts unless you like mazes.
There's way more calories in a piece of pizza than you'd assume! What a trick!- Super comfy mattresses at a great price AND they all have a 25 year warranty! :)
OMGICUMay 2, 2011There are a lot of names here that are hard to pronounce. Like Elkskundssunnn. Here's an easy one: Steve Smith. He's been spotted here, near the Skansunkunnds.
Randi just saved my Ikea experience. I came in needing help and Shazam! She fixed it!
So, get in line & fill out your paperwork IN LINE, then drop the littles. They only give ya an hour or so, but its a break. You might could slip in a quickie if youre predisposed.
Nicole WalkerJuly 13, 2013Thanks for the shopping date Ikea! You can leave your kids at their daycare free for 60 minutes. I wish the mall did that!
Sara BerryDecember 12, 2010We come here just for the food! Ok the products are amazing too! Meatballs are a must here!
Visit North CarolinaJanuary 4, 2011Welcome to the Carolina’s only big blue and yellow Mecca of trendy and affordable home furnishings! Cap off your shopping spree with a cinnamon bun.
Rob HarrisJanuary 22, 2013Come on ikea. 2 lanes only to check out. I'm ready to leave my cart in line
