IKEA

I'm impressed. Our typical American IKEA stores are a complete nightmare to endure, so visiting is only in dire situations. However, this is not the case in Germany. This IKEA is super organized, people are incredibly helpful and it's clean and easy to check out. I L...O...V...E.. IT!

Ikea is such as great place to hang out. The one near Tempelhof make it easier for the people who living in the center of Berlin to visit. You don't have to go to far far away for furnitures.

This ikea is big enough to walk around for hours. The cafeteria is really nice decorated. It offers different areas for different costumer needs. Such as smoking area, playground for kids and etc. Mostly when I am here, never forgot to have myself some Swedish meatballs. And as usual if you have a ikea family card, coffee is free. Plus the view of this place. Surely made it a nice place to have a lovely tea time (or coffee time).

There is a reason why many people like to shop in ikea, including me. For me, I really like how convenient of the system here. Everything is really well organised. The same floor, near the cafeteria, you can find all inspirations you need. From different rooms to little decorations and it changed time to time. Really nice to hang around. when you need something, just write down the number of the products, and look it up later in the store house, which is the ground floor.

I like they make an area just for the green lover. Full of different garten's tool and plants. From real plants to fake one. Various choices. I never missed this place, every time I visit here. It also got nice parking place, no worries to find a spot even in the busy hour.

The great part is, if you didn't find anything that you want at ikea, there are still other furniture markets just close by. So you can save some time on traveling.

Great store with an easy location. IKEA is kid friendly and has so many unique and gorgeous finds! The furniture, while you have to assemble it yourself, is modern and chic -as are the decorations, appliances, and other such furnishings. Whether you want muted, bold, or fun -IKEA can match your aesthetic desires.

IKEA kindly provides free lockers with keys for storing coats and non-essential items!

The employees were also very friendly. My only critique is the bathroom near the restaurant on the top floor -it smelled strongly of old urine.

For food, skip the IKEA's Bistro restaurant and head down to the first floor checkout! You can get a tasty hotdog and drink combo for €1.50!

Way better than American Ikeas. The rooms were decorated amazingly and I loved the massive outdoor area. It lives up to every expectation I had.

IKEA and I have been seeing a lot of one another late. Last month saw a kitchen remodel in our flat, and the planning that went into it has required at least four or five visits figure out the specifics of what we were getting, and then buying the additional bits and pieces to go inside.

I admit, this place is a terror, but only when you make it that way.

A few secrets:
-Make your trip on a weekday
-Go the hour before it closes (if you know what you want)
-Learn the shortcuts

Keeping these things in mind, we have not only been able to beat the crowds, but maneuver quickly through the sections, since we know how to bypass them.

Anyway, we ordered our kitchen and were told that, with custom countertops, it could take up to 6 weeks. Yet everything was done in 3. We opted for delivery but chose to put the kitchen together ourselves. It has been a journey, but if you have the time and the will, do it yourself. It's exhausting, but the result is having a kitchen you can really be proud of, as we are of ours.

- what a shame!

Apart from that: Cheap furniture that looks OK sometimes even great. Prices are excellent, unfortunately the quality is reflecting the price most of the times. I would easily pay 50% more to get 50% better quality.

And yes, I hate being there and having to walk through the whole shop and searching the things I want to buy in the warehouse.

Worst experience in my Life. In 20 days they failed to deliver the furniture twice, while I wait half a day inside a empty home.

I went four times in the line from customer service trying to fix the situation. The wait time always takes more than two one hour to see someone. The hot dog is right near so you don't starve while awaiting and they make a buck on your suffering.

In the right top corner of your order is a number - this is what you are to them!!!

Although I struggled to get in contact with IKEA initially, after requiring an exchange, the subsequent service and resolution I received was first class.
It's immensely refreshing to hear a company explain and apologize for a problem and then promptly provide a solution.

Thanks IKEA and Frau Schindler!

It's IKEA. It's busy and you are on your own getting everything to you car and then putting it together unless you want to pay for help. Always do your research before buying!

It's Ikea. What is there to say? Ikea is Ikea is Ikea...

It looks like an Ikea anywhere, at least like the ones I have been to in the States. Except at the ones in Germany (and probably all in Europe) you can order wine.

But the wine is crap, so don't order it. But sometimes a little wine is what gets me through the maze of Ikea. I think that casinos and Ikeas are designed by the same people. Crazy folks who want to trap you inside.

Ikea - the store of seasonal furniture. Use it for a year and then throw it away when you move to a different dorm.

Though, our kitchen is Ikea and is holding up ok. And our closet. And our kitchen table.
