I have a degree in Interior Design and way back when...not long out of art school at all, IKEA was my first design-related job. I got hired to work at the Pittsburgh location which is actually in Robinson Township very close to the Pittsburgh International Airport. My room sections were bedrooms, in which I was responsible for the design and layout, executing it all myself. So now, let's talk about IKEA. I am a huge fan and have been since prior to their expansion into the U.S. market. As a student, I had access to materials for furniture and decor from all over the world. And of course, when I was just starting out with my first apartment, everything was IKEA from top to bottom. All of the stores pretty much have the same setup (there may be one or two small differences). What it boils down to for me is the availability of items, i.e., do they have what I want in stock? These days, I am more of an accessories shopper or having lunch at the cafe, and stocking up on those sweet, sweet Swedish goodies. This location has everything I need and want anytime I swing by. The value and pricing IKEA has always been known for are still there, though they too have seen increases over the years. And even though it is a self-service concept, employees are always available to assist and are happy to do so. IKEA & this location get an A+ from me. read more

LOVE IKEA, such a great place. Popped in to specifically get new kitchen towels, 4 for $5.99 and they finally got a new pattern in stock. I use the frequently and they are very sustainable, reusable and hold up great. I just washed them and the black/white ones were the only ones to shrink up a bit. Otherwise, all look great. Service was pretty basic as it was only during check out when having them oversee the purchase. read more

Decent place. Depending on when you go, can get busy. Recently came in to get a bistro patio table bc I wanted to downsize my patio furniture. Sturdy and a good price considering everywhere I looked for a bistro table was way more expensive. Went in on a Sunday evening, barely anyone there. Mega easy checkout. Also really appreciate the computers in the warehouse that help you find exactly where you should be looking. Found it lickidy split. Read another comment that says they're now serving plant based meatballs. As a vegetarian, that's exciting for me. And now I look forward to coming back to try them! read more

IKEA is a unique shopping experience in the way the store layout guides you through their floor displays. I get some useful design ideas in the showroom that make it worth the extra hiking I do to pickup my purchases. The in store cafe has decent, reasonably priced entrees when you're ready to take a break. Recommended. read more

This is a one story IKEA, so it's quite easy to navigate with a cart. As tradition, the restaurant is tucked inside but you can grab ice cream or a hot dog near the exit or as you enter. We had no issues finding our necessities in the Market Place and their kiosks for self service are easily findable. A very solid IKEA for any basic needs. read more

This was the weekend of wonderment for me! It started out at the farmer's market and I ended the weekend at IKEA. After my Yelp friend finished lunch, we decided to head over to IKEA. Let me just say, I have not been to IKEA in 15-20 years...love the store but we were living out of state for at least 10 years. When we walked in I was immediately mesmerized by all the displays. These displays were well designed with the color scheme deftly coordinated. IKEA has everything...I mean everything! We were not in the store very long, however, we went through a number of departments (fake flowers and plants, real plants, linen, towels, kitchen wear, storage boxes, etc.) You get the picture. My friend was looking for a desk mat and kitchen towels, which she found. She was also looking for bath towels, which she did not find. I was just along for the ride. However, those kitchen towels were such a good deal, I bought some also. The prices at IKEA are extremely good. A new area for me was the self-serve area. This area was definitely not there the last time I shopped at IKEA. It looks like a huge warehouse with lots of items. Quite honestly, it was a little overwhelming. We both opted for self-checkout, which went exceedingly fast. Quick visit...good shopping trip! read more

The wife and I stopped by to participate in the Stitch scavenger hunt before it ended but first we needed lunch.

Ikea is a whole event. Plan to spend the better part of your day there, like it or not. The floorplan is a ridiculous maze that promises shortcuts that somehow cause you to make the same loop approximately eight times before finding the exit, this causing you to start again because you failed to find the thing you came for. It's great exercise though, especially on hit or cold days when it sucks to go for long walks outside. You will get your steps in, and then some. Sign up for the free Ikea Family card to get complimentary hot coffee on every visit, and don't you dare leave without a downing a crazy cheap vegan hotdogs, which are honestly infuriatingly delicious. They have no right being so good. Anyway, at least you've earned it after burning off all those calories on your urban hiking expedition. read more

Just never know about IKEA. Do I need something, or does something need me. I was up in Round Rock so I decided to stop in. Walked around their maze, following their arrows on the floor. Great ideas for storage space and furniture. Thinking about replacing my TV stand with something that has more storage and a little more sturdy. I did get an under the cabinet storage rack. And I needed a squeegee. Nothing too exciting to bring home. But I did see some good ideas for the future. read more

The only IKEA for miles, but that's the norm. I haven't been in years, and went for lunch today. I was excited for my husband to FINALLY try the meatballs-- but we were both pretty disappointed. I don't know what happened to the food, but the meatballs were shriveled and a little bit sad. A giant $14 candle we bought was already broken in the package but we found out until we got home. Oh well. It's going in the also giant lantern we bought for under $30. So it all still looks lovely. read more

Shoutout to Frenchy for his assistance in the plant section. I was wandering around the money trees and he came over to help me right away. He gave me some great tips on how to keep that plant alive. He definitely has a passion for plants! I'm pretty sure I also got a great value on that plant. Other stores likely charge more. Overall, I always enjoy my experience at IKEA. read more

I hate shopping at ikea. It's a maze. You are forced to go through every showroom even when you have no interest in them. Oh sure they have "shortcuts" but good luck finding them. One day a fire will break out and people will die because they can't find the exits. Lawsuits will be expensive. Having said that, I did spend $800 on some office cabinets and desks. The items are well designed in Sweden and perfectly manufactured in Germany and Lithuania. They were fairly easy to assemble. The instructions were decent. I would rather have an ikea product any day of the week instead of a Wayfair product. The assembly and instructions as well as the workmanship far exceed Wayfair. Fix your showrooms. I buy what I need. I don't care for the endless maze of trinkets or tiny meatballs. read more

Let me tell you something. I ate the Swedish meatballs at 1 PM. I have had nothing but nonstop horrendous gas since then. It is 9 PM. Please pray for me and my girlfriend. She's tired of plugging her nose. Otherwise, I got this awesome 1 gallon pot for half off! 10/10 would do again. read more

I know there is a love/hate relationship with Ikea for many, which is understandable. When I lived in Sicily, this place was/is considered the Walmart of Europe. While I wouldn't build my house with Ikea ANYTHING, some items from this chain are acceptable. I built my closet with Ikea pieces for a fraction of the price that places like California Closets would have charged me. I purchased the PAX system to accommodate my needs. There are many options that can be put together with this model/style. This can be purchased in store or online but you must have your measurements for your space. I initially went into the store to purchase the units I required so I can see the units in person. This was an epic fail as the design machine at Ikea was down the day I went. I elected to go home and design and purchase the unit online. The pieces for my unit were delivered to my home within a period of a few weeks. I order mine with lighting. For those of you who are not good with electrical work, an Electrician may be required. I am happy with my closet and would purchase this system again. read more

Selection is vast and Service is great! We stopped in for breakfast this morning, good coffee! Big cookie and dessert selection.

According to the computer, 16 of what I want are in stock. None are on the shelves. Ask an employee: "they're probably in a pallet above the empty shelf... we'll put them out tomorrow. Try back then." I'm here tonight. With money. You have the product and can't be bothered - in a warehouse store - to pull down a pallet and give me the four I want and put the other 12 on the shelf for other customers? I get it. You don't want my money. Next time, post that on the front door so I don't waste my time looking for in stock products you won't sell. read more

I stopped into the IKEA and ate at the food court recently when we needed to return a dresser. I did the whole IKEA experience from starting at the front of the store and going through the whole maze. Ikea furniture is very unique and different from American furniture. To me I think it's a little overpriced for the quality that you get. The food court is nice and the prices are reasonable for what you get. I highly recommend the swedish meatballs and it is their signature dish. The cheesecake was also delicious. If you are at IKEA and have worked up an appetite to get the full IKEA experience I recommend eating at their food court for a delicious meal. read more

Shopping at IKEA was like embarking on a solo adventure in a well-organized maze. I love to get ideas of the different layouts they have for rooms (living rooms or bedrooms). I had zero contact with any employees, which made me feel like I was on a secret mission. Pro tip: download the app to avoid the long lines at checkout. You can breeze through by getting in the "checkout via the app" line, scan a code, and pay for your items at the terminal. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Who knew furniture shopping could feel like a high-tech heist? read more

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon to get inspiration for an empty room in our house. We decided to go to the café and share an 8 Swedish meatball meal, ordering was easy and fast. The gravy was flavorful and the meatballs were tender. The plain peas were good as plain peas get. The mashed potatoes were underwhelming considering I've gotten more flavorful and more textured powered mashed potatoes from the grocery store. I wouldn't ever go to IKEA just to eat at their cafe, but if you were going to IKEA for furniture shopping and hadn't eaten yet, their cafe it's a decent option. read more

THE BIG: Big Ikea located right off of I-35. Parking includes open air space as well as a parking garage. Traffic can get very busy on the weekend, be warned. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Love coming to Ikea and since everything is bigger in Texas, so is the Ikea. No 2 levels here, everything is 1 story so you just keep walking and walking. My fiance and I come here regularly to get inspiration for decorating a room. The furniture are priced on the cheaper end and they do feel like it too, but it's affordable! As-Is section is near when you check out, highly suggest checking it out for some great discounts. Also live plants are sold here! THE FINAL BAMBOO: Great for introductory (and cheap) furniture for your new flat. Def a must check out if you're in the Round Rock area. read more

I love this place. We went on a "just browsing" trip this time around. Lots of things to look at for your house/apartment/living quarters from dustpans to furniture for an entire bedroom and kitchen!!! I just love how the entire space is laid out and they have shortcuts and arrow to direct you if you ever get lost :P Everything is reasonably priced in here. I come here for my trashcans, storage boxes, and free coffee/hot tea! If you're a member of IKEA family you get free coffee or hot tea whenever you come. Its totally free to join! Overall a good place to browse, walk around and if you have kids, some fun in their children's area. Though I wouldn't mind trying out their bedding by doing a belly-flop (like I saw someone do :p) read more

Ikea is great! This one is clean and the store area is organized. I've found the warehouse sections the furniture is supposed to be in isn't always accurate. It'll be around the designated aisle but it takes some time to find the items. The food court workers were also very helpful and informative. I asked if the hotdog was began and they said it should be but the allergen info said contains eggs and they couldn't see any eggs listed in the ingredients but let me know about the discrepancy to make a decision. Very helpful! read more

I've never lived super close to an IKEA and it's probably a good thing. I could spend hours here brainstorming about solutions to my home. They have all the things you could ever need for your home at an affordable price.

I'm already thinking about my next trip. read more

Has everything you would expect in an IKEA! I haven't been to the food court much, but looks to have a good variety of different foods. The downstairs food area is good for quick, on-the-go type foods (the ice cream is probably one of my fav to get here). The inside is very similar to what I've seen in other IKEAs! Definitely worth coming to check out if you're looking to enhance your house furniture, decor! read more

I'm currently waiting in line to order delivery for a couch. It took 50 minutes and 3 employees to order it, because the system and the backup system failed and they were unable to select a delivery option. I waited while each employee tried the same troubleshooting steps and asked for all my information again each time. Finally they gave up and said I can pay for it and then head to another kiosk to set up delivery. The cashier forgot to apply the IKEA family discount and I just barely caught it in time before she charged my card. It was about $150 off the price and that information just got lost between the 3 employees trying to figure out what was going on. Finally, the delivery center gave me a piece of paper to write the delivery info on, since all the computer systems were still rejecting the delivery. Hopefully I'll be out of here soon. UPDATE: it took a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes. Now today, it turns out they got the delivery date wrong, and I'm currently on hold trying to get it fixed. I never imagined it could take multiple hours to order a couch. read more

Would not recommend the location. We live far away and so naturally make a family trip out of it, do some big shopping, eat there and spend a lot of money. The store and shopping experience was good - BUT to my disappointment, the cafeteria was horrible. I never expected this from such an ikea. We ate at 2:30 pm. The food was good. The cleanliness was a disaster. We cleaned and wiped down our own table. Food and trash everywhere. One small family decided to eat in the lounge area on the floor as it was cleaner. And I don't think it was a lack of employees. Everywhere you looked, there was an abundance of employees. We were even helped throughout the store. I think for our next trip we'll just shop there and eat somewhere else nicer. For that matter, we can just order online and not even have to go to this store anymore. Yuck. Prices were high as well. read more

March 2024, Fast and easy way to kill some time. My husband dropped me off while he took a business call.

It was ok, kinda soft so it melts right away. Other than that it was a good day. read more

Went exploring at the adult playground called IKEA located in Round Rock. Thoroughly enjoyed this location because it's surrounded by many shops and large parking lots allowing a freedom to roam around the shops in the area. I also like this IKEA because The layout is one level so you don't have to climb or descend any stairs. Upon entering, I do appreciate the welcoming smiles of the greeter in the foyer. I think this is a nice level of service coming in from the parking lot. Those of you who enjoy IKEA like I do, I like the sections of rooms that are laid out like mini living rooms or bedrooms or kitchens while exploring the store. I feel the price is fair or better because you don't have to deal with packaging in most cases. My favorite part of wandering through IKEA is stumbling upon their food court. They serve all which you can buy down in the exit, but my favorite is the meatballs and fresh veggies. It's a healthy meal and many times we just go for the food. read more

This is always a fun place to visit and to get my walking done. There is a parking garage so can park in the shade and always felt safe here. Walked towards the entrance along a massive row of loading zones almost felt like you are at the airport. I saw people stressed out trying to load a bunch of stuff into their vehicle. When I entered my wife quickly grabs a shopping cart where felt nervous since only came here to see what's new not take home a bunch of stuff, and a IKEA greeter gave me a big blue bag for small items. I saw a day care for kids to play in. Like any IKEA the whole store is on a yellow brick road where you weave around visiting many lands, and end up not in Oz but huge warehouse with extremely long lines to checkout. There are hidden shortcuts and used them to get to the core of this place which is a restaurant. This is where my wife's shopping cart started to collect items mostly for holiday gifts. All the products are international mostly from Europe which is really cool where can feel European in Texas with Swedish products like coffee, cookies and chocolate. At the exit there is a mini grocery store and deli containing more Swedish items. The big hit here is the Swedish meatballs but did not have them on this visit, but they are good. The overall prices on items are very affordable which I noticed other shoppers were over buying. The checking process was maddening where much different from a grocery store, but I survived. From all this I truly got my weekly exercise from walking inside this huge building and probably be back a few months from now. read more

Ordered 6 cases of glasses. First order I got delivered to a faster location and it still took 3 weeks, and glasses show up broken. Upon inspection I noticed no packing materials, except on one side. Even the bottom was open and not taped. So I went online and they sent to my requested address ( my billing address) I get that package three weeks letter. Upon inspection they are broke as well. We refuse them and send them back. Never hear a single work from IKEA. When I goto chat I have some guy tells me that they can't ship to my same address and says they will ship to an address that is not mine. He argues with me for a long time and says if I don't like it I can ask for a refund and reorder the glasses. Talk about the worse customer service ever. I ended the chat as I am not going to waste more time. My issue was that I bought the glassware on sale and they didn't even offer to help me in any way, but wanted to ship to an address that was not mine or anything that I knew. If I could give them a zero I would read more

Oh IKEA how I appreciate you being so close to Austin proper so that I can continue to make my apartment life so aesthetically pleasing all while being still affordable. I also appreciate how safe it is to shop around this Round Rock location as all of the signage, stations with napkins and hand sanitizer, and extra masks to offer for any who forgot or need a new one. Don't forget to turn on your workout mode on your fitness watch before you get to walking the store. You will easily do 1-2 miles after you are done shopping here for sure! Since COVID inventory here can be hit or miss but with the IKEA website and app you should be able to figure out if you can find that cool dresser you have been eyeing is in stock or not. If you are not sure just ask an IKEA employee or go to the simple, clean, and with sanitizing wipes right next to it kiosk to look up your item(s). Before you check out be sure to go look at the Last Call area where you can find some bargain items for cheap that are either out of their package, repackaged, most times assembled, or have a slight imperfection. Definitely worth browsing as I have bought some great steals in this section including chairs, dining tables, etc. Parking can be a challenge to find a good spot on the weekends only as it gets really busy. Do not worry though, when you are ready to load your car, there are over a dozen parking spots in the front to load your stuff in. There is even rope in boxes near these parking spaces to help you secure your things before you drive out. Lots of other shopping, eating out, and browsing can be done in the same shopping center as where this IKEA sits if you got the energy! read more
