So, it's that time in our lives that we are looking to start the money pit aka kitchen renovation…read more We've been in our house for a few years now, we're finally settled, paid off our cars so we have a few extra bucks. IKEA was the first place we thought of for inspiration. We were surprised at the color scheme we looked at and liked. We were attracted to the blue cabinets or the olive green cabinets as they would look good with our dark floors. An ask for countertops, I don't want lament as it won't hold it's shape. I like the glass composite countertops as they look more sturdy. We were surprised that they sell stoves, ovens, and microwaves. We thought they would be dummy's like the TVs are. I question the quality and longevity of IKEAs kitchens. They mostly show the lament kitchen tops. It's much cheaper then the composite glass, but I doubt they will last as long. I found the sink style I like. We have water outflow issues with our sink and facet, so I found a set in sink that I liked, no lip that goes over the countertops. With the countertops questionable longevity, now I question the cupboards quality and longevity. You have to give them props for being reusable price, I just don't want it to wear out. In the end we are thinking that the cost will be around $15,000 including instulation. I'm thinking more like $20,000 as things always cost more than you expect them to. Our next stop will be local hardware stores to check out their offerings. We really like IKEA's set up and displays. They are so realistic with the walls and all, it makes you feel like you are walking into a real kitchen unlike the hardware stores where you are just looking at the counties tops and cupboards. One things we observed with IKEA is they have lots of stark white cabinets. They brighten the room, but stark white against dark brown floors woudld be doo much of a contrast. And reminds me of the black and white high contrast baby books they make for tummy time. A little too contrasty for me. So, here we are looking at an investment as ours is still functional so there really isn't a rush. My husband has a point, let's spread out our large purchases over the years and not do everything at once. This year will possibly be the kitchen. Next year will be painting the house. And there is a good possibility of doing the ac and heating units. Last month was the fridge. And a few years back it was the washer and a few months after that it was the dryer. So in the end everything is pretty much spread out. Oh, don't forget the dishwasher and around 5 years ago it was the dishwasher and hot tub. The good news we're not in debt.

I haven't been to IKEA in years. I've always had fun experiences looking at the multiple room…read moredisplays within the claustrophobic building interior. Maze of displays and merchandise of furniture (for every room), shelving, lighting, houseware, storage, linens, towels, rugs, live plants, art, curtains, cutlery, and Swedish snacks. But I don't go on the weekends. That's when it's full throttle crowded. My last shopping experience was on a recent late weekday afternoon. Before I go into the not so great moments, let me tell you the great stuff. The cafeteria food server was terrific. A lot of indecisive folks ordering good and asking questions, she handled it like a pro and kept the line moving. The cashier assisting at the first floor self check out was super helpful. Most of the furniture is made of sustainable materials and cheaply priced. Heck the majority of the furniture in my home is from IKEA. If hauling and assembling your own furniture is not your thing, keep in mind they offer assembly and delivery for additional costs. I've done both. You can check inventory quantity and the aisle and bin # location of furniture items on their website. Not so great: On my visit, the restrooms on the second floor, next to the cafeteria, were in awful shape. They changed the restrooms to multiple toilet rooms with motion activated low flow flush toilets. I encountered horrible bathroom toilet visuals. I went into 4 vacant toilet closets to get one without a #2. Grody! Then the toilet did not flush, there is no bypass button. Purely just motion activated that was not working. IKEA- for goodness sake, go back to the drawing board on these toilets. Also the cafeteria was low on several food items and ran out of coffee. Surprisingly since it was around 4pm, nearing early bird dinner time. Maybe a good thing considering the toilet situation. But not great when you paid for a cup of coffee and waited over 20 minutes. I was assured by the cashier, when paying for a coffee, that it won't take long to brew a fresh batch. Possibly staff can monitor the coffee. Plus I didn't understand why the cafeteria cashier letting line cutters in. He allowed a customer to cut the queue to purchase a drink. I didn't say anything to either the cashier or customer. But my opinion is that the customer go through the queue and get in line behind the others; bypassing the hot food line makes sense but not the line of folks queuing up to pay.

I'm feel like I'm very frequently eating at IKEA...it's just super convenient. I haven't liked…read moreeverything I've eaten here for lunch/dinner, but I just love getting breakfast from here for some reason. (It's only served for an hour in the mornings, and they'll run out when they get closer to the end of the hour.) I typically get their medium breakfast (served with scrambled eggs, potatoes, Swedish pancakes, lingonberry jam, and bacon). I was sad when their breakfast switched from the waffle to the pancakes, but I've since adjusted to the change. Lunch/dinner is not the greatest tasting of meals, but it's not bad. I personally think the cod, salmon, and meatballs are decent. I do not care for the falafels or plant balls. It's a large open dining area, like a cafeteria. Self-serve utensils are located near the drink dispenser Sometimes the lines are outrageously long, so I don't bother during those occasions. I'm glad it's here though. When you get tired from wandering through the IKEA maze, it's nice to have a spot to grab a quick bite to eat.

I don't remember this restaurant being this filthy…read more The floors were sticky. Most tables were not cleaned up. The soda and ice machines were not working. There was only water and coffee available. You grab a tray and get in line like you're getting school lunch. The Swedish meatballs are the star of the show. It's very good for what it is. My kids love eating here. I'd rather spend my money at the Costco food court lol. I only come here about once a year. It's a good place to eat after walking around the IKEA maze of furniture. Just be prepared to only find dirty tables.

This time, I headed straight to the home goods section while my wife went to the clothing section, as we always do. Almost immediately, I found a set of large work gloves I needed at a significantly reduced price. I also came across a set of cast-iron cookware and a few cast-iron frying pans at prices that caught my attention. However, after considering them for a minute or two, I decided not to purchase them because of their heavy weight and the challenges that poses when it comes to washing. My wife found a couple of tops she liked, and we headed for the cashier. For some reason, only one of the two registers was open, and because it was closing time, everyone was lined up to pay, which took a while. Other than that, it was a productive visit.

Chris, the owner of Wood Dynamics is a very unethical and unprofessional businessman! Beware doing…read morebusiness with him. He sold us kitchen cabinets and installed them which were very nice. Right after the job there was a leak under the kitchen sink which was behind an angled maple panel. This was an ADA cabinet job. We asked him to replace the panel and moulding since it warped. We waited for a quote, or to just fix it. He took our old maple panel to match and never came back again or would return my calls. He didn't want to deal with a fix. We ran into him at a restaurant and told him in front of his family that he needs to make it right. He said he would call the next day which he never did and has never made it right. Is this the kind of businessman you want to deal with?

This is now the highest quality cabinet in the house. His price was a little more than the box store, but his price included installation. We will definitely check back with Chris on our next project.

This is the first time I've ever left a 1-star review for a business…read more I purchased a dining table set in October. Unfortunately, the glass tabletop became loose and was no longer properly secured to the metal base and this happened twice. The product quality was very poor. I called and they offered the return. I understood and accepted that the store would only offer store credit, so I returned to exchange the table. However, the customer service was extremely disappointing. The staff was unwelcoming and unhelpful throughout the process. I selected another table and was told I needed to pay an additional $200, which I was fine with. However, they also required me to pay an additional delivery fee, even though the exchange was due to a defective product. They were already coming to my home to pick up the old table, so it was unclear why the new table could not be delivered at the same time. When I came back the next day to proceed with the exchange, I was given a different price again, now being asked to pay $365 more. This inconsistency was frustrating and unprofessional. I accepted the amount because I just wanted to get it over with because I no longer wanted to deal with this business. I don't want they kept my credit. I truly hope the replacement table has no issues so I won't need to contact them again. Btw thankfully , we did not purchase a sofa here, even though we liked one in the store. Based on this experience, I do not recommend this business. I wrote this review after getting out the store because I was really mad .
