Visited IKEA in Chantilly, VA, and this is definitely one of the smaller IKEA locations I've been…read moreto. Compared with some of the larger stores, there are fewer showrooms and the selection feels a little more limited, but it still has that familiar IKEA experience. * One of the smaller IKEA locations I've visited, with fewer showrooms than some of the larger stores. * Like most IKEA locations, the store was very clean and well organized. * There's plenty of parking, so finding a spot wasn't an issue. * The café has fewer food options than other IKEA locations I've visited. * Unfortunately, the salmon dinner isn't available at this location. * I also noticed they don't sell the Daim candy bar, which was a little disappointing. * That said, the Swedish meatballs with lingonberry jam still slap and are always a must-have when visiting IKEA. Overall, it's a smaller location with a more limited selection, but it's still clean, easy to navigate, and has plenty of the IKEA staples. I'd probably visit a larger IKEA if I wanted to explore more showrooms, but this location is still worth stopping by if you're in the area.

Disappointed. Was happy to hear that IKEA was here. It's a miniature version of a real one. I…read moreordered a table, which was a nightmare to put together. Guess what was missing parts? What an ordeal a small item has become. Generally I like IKEA. This one won't be going to again. It's better to go to the big and regular version. Am underwhelmed by the experience here. It's missing the usual charm, and so many products. That alone means I'll drive further to Woodbridge.

BUT I needed the tools(pans, baking tools, and the skills). That wasn't happening today. The staff was SUPER informative and encouraging. He signed me up for the rewards program and gave me some coupons to order online and get free shipping. He explained that this location is actually a pop up that has been there since 2024. He said they would be closing soon. He did mention that Old Town Alexandria was getting a permanent store. Maybe by that time, I will have developed some cooking skills.

This employee-owned business has perfected the art of all things baking and has made it accessible for the masses. You can purchase their items at Whole Foods and even BJ's ... but this store is truly a showcase of their greatest hits. I nearly blacked out as I placed box after box of baking mix into my cart. Their mixes run the gamut from scones, pancakes, popovers, babka, muffins, pretzels, pizza dough, and more. I got 20% off since it was Black Friday and they even gave me a little bundt cake ornament as a special gift. They had their gingerbread cake out to sample, and it was surprisingly delicious (as someone who does not traditionally like gingerbread). This is a pop-up that is scheduled to close soon but I hope that they find another home in the area soon. Everyone I interacted with was super nice and friendly too!

I also purchased a small quart of touch-up paint for our baseboards that were part of the areas that we didn't get painted recently.

I usually enjoy browsing HomeSense for unique home items, but my recent visits left me…read moredisappointed. When I checked out on my last trip, the young gentleman at the register kept yawning and barely acknowledged me -- it came across as lacking basic manners and customer service. To make matters worse, a picture frame I bought turned out to be damaged in the corner when I unwrapped it at home. When I brought it back to return, the sales associate spoke to me in an accusatory tone and insisted that I had damaged it. I explained that I discovered the damage only after opening the packaging, but she refused to accept the return. Thankfully, I asked to speak with the Manager, who checked my receipt, realized I had purchased it just the day before, and resolved the situation professionally. I appreciated the manager stepping in, but the interaction should never have escalated to that point. Glad it was ultimately corrected, but the sales associate definitely needs better training in communication, customer courtesy, and how to handle returns without blaming customers.

Anyway...while he was at his appt., I decided to walk around the shopping center (FairLakes Promenade). I had seen Home Sense before but never got around to checking it out. Finally, got to do that today. At first glance, it looked like it was a furniture store. Yes, they have lots of furniture but a deeper look showed there was so much more. There are towels, bedding, kitchen utensils, household cleaning items, rugs and decorative items. My intention was just to look not buy. However, when I saw the food items, I realized that I needed a shopping cart. Things that caught my eye...imported pasta, pasta sauces, spices, sweets and a cleaning formulation for shower doors and mirrors. Truthfully, there were other items that attracted me but I exercised will power. For example, I saw a lovely vase but my sensible side said "we don't need another vase." There was artwork but sensible side said "We have enough of that and only so much wall space". When I went to check out, the cashier was friendly. I found out, when he tried to get me to sign up for a credit card, that they are part of a conglomerate that includes TJ Maxx. No, we don't need another credit card! My haul ended up costing $35 plus change. Once we were home, I showed my husband my haul. He asked what it cost and was pleasantly surprised. Aw, gee! I'm so proud of myself :D So, no regrets for paying Home Sense a visit!

It's kind of annoying from an environmental perspective - if you like their soap - you have to keep throwing out the pump bottles and buy a new one. I think I am going to have to start looking at the competition for an alternative - one that does offer a way to buy a large refill. I picked up the Tropical Passionfruit, Sparkling Peach, and Coconut Lime Verbena hand soaps. I really like the way the store smells! I mentioned to the cashier about my gripe - she agreed they should offer refills. She recommended I contact the corporate office to communicate my views on this - I had already done so - over a month ago - no response thus far.
