Yesterday was only the second day the newset Ikea store was open. Lucky for me I had the day off and it is close to my house. Let me tell you, it is quite awesome!
First of all it is Huge, unbelivably huge. It is three floors. Think three home depots stacked on eachother. It has amazingly neat showrooms full of furniture, furnishings and fun products.
Second of all, it is CHEAP. The stuff is really trendy and modern, any had has somthing for everyone. It is all resonably priced, so much so you think am I reading this right? You could redo a whole room and not feel guilty at all. In fact I think you could afford to do your whole house.
They had really nifty things that made it stand out.
1) They have an awesome playroom, where they will watch your kids while you shop. How cool is that?
2.) There is a restraunt/ cafe there with all kind of food from hot dogs to swedish meat balls , all reasonably priced!
3.) They have really neat kids stuff, stuff you WISHED you had when you were a kid. It is all really cheap, and they have neat educational stuff, bedroom goods and even art supplies.
4) At the end as you leave there is this escalator/ moving sidewalk thing. It is like a sloped moving sidewalk, quite awesome. The coolest thing is your carts wheels won't slip on it. It is hard to describe. It is just awesome.
5.) Did I mention it is HUGE. I mean gigantic.
So take a day trip, or a weekend trip and check out a IKEA near you. You won't be dissapointed!
