Walking into ikea is like a second chance of life, I get to play different roles out in my head as…read morei travel across different rooms but also travel across different worlds. One minute I'm an arguing husband complaining about dinner not being made in time, and yelling at the kids for not taking out the trash again. But then i close eyes, and I open them again. and in front is a beautiful inground pool and as i gracefully wash my plates taking in the soothing and comfortable life i've built myself. This is my i made it moment. I was sad that I had to leave this world behind as i continue to walk around the store. I followed the arrows and before me i was surrounded by random assortments of furniture types. A shelf full of wooden chairs, beds that make you question if you really do get good sleep at night, and built out bathrooms with a toilet sink and mirror (only the mirror works). It was so good it reminded me of when she used to stay over my place and leave behind kind messages through the fog of the mirror as she bids me farewell. After more than a decade of not seeing it, I couldn't believe the sight in front of me as the pile of colorful ballpit looked right back at me, waiting for my return. but the place was closed and i was really bummed out. I pass through the children's section filled with nostalgic toy trains and plushes, making me wonder when my time will arrive for me to parent one of my own. If only she came back. After the maze of life that i survived, i made it to the bottom of the store near checkout. Shit felt like a warehouse, kinda like how i used to work at amazon and wondered if this is all life had to offer. after being convinced to buy some loofahs, i sneak past checkout and craved urgently a nice cup of that nostalgic vanilla frozen yogurt i once enjoyed as a child. They were out of strawberry and basically everything but the vanilla frozen yogurt cup (yup they were out of cones too). After finally receiving it I was astounded by the insanely basic taste this was literally straight from burger king. Will I never have that same experience again? Will sysco follow me wherever I go? Chipotle Chicken 5.9/10 - I was served my plates by a beautiful black woman, I wonder if she'd write messages on the mirror too. The chicken looked pretty decent at first glance, the texture? it was surprisingly tender, the chicken was shredded way easier than i expected, lowkey suspicious. The rice was bland, the beans were so basic no different than a can of them. and the plantains were good just not my thing personally. The sauce was heavy on spices, but the flavor of chicken itself wasn't all there, which made me wonder if it really is chicken. taste like chicken, looks like chicken, smells like chicken, but does sysco really sell chickens? Pasta with marinara sauce 2.6/10 - A child could've made a better pasta with sauce than this. god damn I did not think sauce could be so much like straight water, and the pasta was like wet cardboard, no offense to the beautiful woman in the back i'm more than sure she didn't make this slop, her graceful hands would never come near such an abomination of life. If i left this outside for some animals to eat, the only thing gone would be the cardboard sheet holding it. This level of torture is beyond the morals of humanity, I can only imagine and fear the evil figure behind this weapon of mass destruction. Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes 6.4/10 - This ikea classic was a must grab for a taster of the finer things such as myself. They were aight, got the job done, once i felt full i had no desire to eat even as much as a crumb. the meatballs themselves kinda tasted like meat. could've fooled me, and the sauce on top gave it a starchy layer of moistness. the mash potatoes, straight from one of those packets, it was as soft as baby food, and i didn't know how to feel about that, it did leave a cozy feeling inside of me. The lingen berry sauce was a new one for me, it was your run of the mill sweet jam that brought an interesting twist to the meatballs. DO NOT mix this with the mash potatoes, i will not be making that mistake again. The veggies were weirdly memorable, like the ones you never ate from your school lunch (yes ALL of us) Vanilla Frozen yogurt 6.1/10 - One thing I always loved about ikea was finally leaving and getting some ice cream, and eating it on the cone was really an experience everyone should get to have at least once in their life. That was before big brother sysco came to town and took one of the only things in this world that i loved, other than her... I can't do this right now sorry Butter Cookie 4.9/10 - Salty. too salty.

It is very nice and on a beautiful day you can see the planes take off or land, depending on the wind direction. You can stay for as long as you wish (at least on weekdays). Food is not too bad. The meatballs are always fresh and yummy, and my daughter loves the mac and cheese. Service was usually fast and efficient, unless you went in on a busy day. The store has changed it's layout over the years. However price is definitely still excellent. On a hot day walking around IKEA will be a good exercise.

While this is an outlet place…read morewhich means it's quite a jumble of items without much presentation beyond being on the floor, it's a steep discount from the full Pottery Barn locations' presentation & pricing if one has patience. The location is superbly accessible occupying a major corner of the vast mall with a major exterior and two exterior loading areas, 1 adjacent to the exterior door and a proper loading dock on the side by arrangement / request. The interior door is very large, as are all retailer's here, and is immediately adjacent to the restroom hallway in this sector of the mall (those familiar know restrooms are a bit of a distance from most spots). The space is always very well swept and kept with spacious warehouse ceiling, copious lighting, and clarion categorization inside evident from anywhere on the floor. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful with any number of questions from us from borrowing a ruler or a scissor to chasing down an SKU and installation advice. The inventory is more or less the complete width thus not just expected furniture but also lighting, curtain rods, kids' backpacks, bath and kitchen accessories, textiles, fireplace covers & pokers, etc. There is no final clearance section as they're located in their respective category's area. There's a bathroom and water fountain in the store though unclear if they're for customers as are typically partly obscured by some ad hoc storage and janitorial equipment. Major downsides are some categories like curtain rodes are a hopeless mass of messily laid boxes often without labels or even SKUs and potentially incomplete though one can't open all boxes to examine so it's almost unusable. The sofas sell out steadily so one should be able to act timely. The chairs also seem to cycle thru quite speedily which is good and bad both, greatest challenge being if you need more than 3 of a style. Overall, great location and realization of the brand for the patient!

This review is for the company. I'm honestly so…read moredisappointed as a customer. We needed more flooring to finish a project, which was discontinued and only 2 locations had them. My project is in SI NY; only the Florida and North Carolina stores had the discontinued floor. I received different answers between the 3 locations. Ultimately, I HAD to purchase in order to finish my project although what 2 reps from 2 different locations told me. I had to pay over $300 for shipping!!!!! If these items are discontinued, why aren't they on sale? Why isn't shipping cheaper? Why can't I do a store to store transfer? Why isn't the information the same across the stores? Floors that would have cost me $300 came out to almost $700!

Recently I bought wood looking tile for a small room costing over $1,000. In the picture it looked beautiful. The boxes were dusty so I didn't think much. Once the floor was put down and washed it numerous times it still looks dusty. So I called the brooklyn location where I got it and spoke with a woman there to see why the tile always looks dusty (I mean immediately after it dries) she said she would call me back in 5 minutes. That was months ago!! Never heard back from her. It doesnt matter which location because this is a reflection on the company as a whole. Floor looks beautiful when its wet. Once it dried it looks old and dirty/dusty. Do not buy this product. I will say on a positive note, that when your purchasing you do get top notch service. I guess after you made your purchase, they really dont care at all.

Spend 20-25 mins looking for an outfit. Had 3 to purchase. Was pretty sure they would fit but…read morewanted to make sure and went towards the fitting room. It was now 10 minutes before closing. One employee tells me she's going to call for assistance in the fitting room. She calls on the intercom and within minutes another employee states on the intercom that the fitting room was closed. Couldn't try the clothes on so I asked if I could return my purchase in case I wasn't happy. The employee told me yes I could return as long as it's within 14 days. Great right? Nope! I ask if that meant I would get my money back and was informed that I would not get my money back but could get something else. So I wouldn't be able to return just exchange or store credit. I understand the store closes at 9:00pm; yet, providing customers full access to the store until that time is an idle perspective. Another recommendation is to not over pack clothes. I spend more time trying to pull the clothes off of racks because they are too bunched up. I ended up leaving all my chosen outfits. Not sure if I would bother to go again. Maybe mornings would be better?
