Sade SmithJuly 31, 2016I would advise that come Ikea during a weekday AND also have what you want in mind already so you just pick it up at the lower level. Otherwise you WILL be stuck there 3 hrs or more.Upvote18Downvote
Love IKEA. It’s good for some time killing even if you’re not going to buy furniture. Lots to look at and see, and not to mention the meatballs at the restaurant on the 3rd floor!Upvote15Downvote- What can I say but the best human trap ever. These stores are specifically designed to frustrate those who want to be in and out and on to home installing their stuff.Upvote14Downvote
Ashley MJune 2, 2015Make sure to grab a map so you don't get lost. Look at the prices closely some are family members pricing. Don't forget to check the checkout area for other goodies.Upvote4Downvote
Just when you think you've seen all there is in the world of retail. IKEA is incredible, I felt like I was walking through an Epcot exhibit for affordable interior design. Way to go Swedes!Upvote5Downvote
This IKEA is laid out in sensible rings instead of the incredibly confusing mazes some of them are set up in. Nice folks in the delivery department. Mmm lingonberry juice.Upvote2Downvote
Redeye ChicagoApril 10, 2015If you don't eat meat and you shop at IKEA, you've been missing out on Swedish meatballs. But no longer. Your cries have been answered. Now, IKEA offers vegan meatballs called Grönsaksbullar. Read more

Try to go during the down times (like a week night) since waiting in line with a hundred pounds of furniture awkwardly pointing in every direction.Upvote1Downvote
I love the cafe upstairs. New menu item Vegetable Balls topped with Quinoa chili and a side of veggies. So healthy and tasty...UpvoteDownvote
Lina GonzoNovember 13, 2012Be sure to order a slice of the Chocolate Almond Wafer Cake. You can also buy the full version downstairs past the cash registers.Upvote5Downvote- Lina GonzoNovember 13, 2012Smalland is a complimentary day care center in case you want to shop in peace and quiet. The decor is IKEA and the caregivers lead games! Neat!Upvote7Downvote
SaraSeptember 13, 2014Write down the numbers for everything you want (it's easier than writing it on your phone if you grab one of their paper slips and golf pencils). Bags are 10 or 50¢ - not free.UpvoteDownvote
Elena Jacobs LopezMarch 30, 2018Expect a crowd! But the prices are good and the cafe is reliably fresh. Bring bags for your purchases!Upvote1Downvote
Gil FelicianoSeptember 23, 2011come early (open at 10am); get eggs, bacon, potato $99 breakfast and got nuts! p.s don't forget the "as-is" section on first floor before checking out.Upvote4Downvote
Did you know IKEA is an acronym? It comprises the initials of the founder's name (Ingvar Kamprad), the farm where he grew up (Elmtaryd), and his hometown (Agunnaryd, in Småland, South Sweden).UpvoteDownvote
YoutopiaFebruary 24, 2013Tips for weaving: make sure to utilize sectionals and be aware of strollers. The biggest obstacle is the loose children, this might require a 360 spin to Distract the running childUpvote2Downvote
SS ChristopherMarch 8, 2015I'll sooner jump in front of a moving car than shop here on a Saturday afternoon. Actually, if you shop here you are literally putting yourself at risk of being the victim of vehicular manslaughter.Upvote1Downvote- J CJanuary 19, 2021IKEA at 10 minutes drive to the east of Schaumburg dentist ABC Dentistry & Orthodontics
UpvoteDownvote - Dana WilliamsJanuary 17, 2011Bolingbrook store is laid out better than this store. It's worth getting there right at opening if you want to avoid lines and crowds on the weekend. Even better...take a 1/2 day off work...UpvoteDownvote
ChrisNovember 11, 2022Very poor shopping experience. When you leave the store you need to carry your purchases or abandon them while getting your car because they put barriers so you can’t use trolleys outside! WTF.

Wheelchairs are behind the display right when you walk in behind a rope!

Christian TafoyaMarch 23, 2017Take pictures of the furniture and a close up of the product tag. Improves decision quality at the end.UpvoteDownvote- dude balApril 26, 2014If you're just coming here to buy sheets for your bed, go home. It's too busy for you to walk around.Upvote1Downvote
If you want to get a soda while you browse, get it on the first floor. Second floor dining does not have to-go cups.UpvoteDownvote
Nicole EdwardsJanuary 10, 2015The food items are always tasty here and good priced furniture.

Lady TMarie H.March 16, 2014If you are planning to have your purchases delivered, stop by the delivery counter BEFORE you shop to get an estimate. The cashiers do not have delivery pricing or info.UpvoteDownvote
Ashley KelnhoferFebruary 17, 2016Eat food at their restaurant upstairs and get the amount you spend off your final purchase!UpvoteDownvote- Combo meal with 15 meatballs and a side of mashed potatoes is still only $3.99Upvote1Downvote
If you're looking for help, you have to wait for the guy planning an entire home redesign to finish.UpvoteDownvote
Rebecca KnightDecember 6, 2014Walk around the inside circle to get from one area of another to avoid all the lolligaggers.UpvoteDownvote
Aaron MassieSeptember 27, 2015They have this dumb policy of not allowing carts in the parking lot, so don't go alone if you have a lot of stuff to bring to your carUpvoteDownvote
Chris BroylesAugust 22, 2011My 7 year old daughters love to play "house" in here with all the kid's room set-ups. And Swedish Meatballs for lunch! Mmm...lingonberries... Read moreUpvote3Downvote
Joanna KalinowskaFebruary 17, 2015If you can hold off then don't go on a Sunday, the place is jammed packed.Upvote1Downvote
They have great, inexpensive breakfast. Lunch and dinner are really good too.UpvoteDownvote
Cathy FinleySeptember 1, 2014A brilliant blend of form and function for low cost yet quality home goods!UpvoteDownvote
Michael SalesNovember 3, 2011Awesome displays that give you lots of great ideas. Very crowded on the weekends...book an entire day!UpvoteDownvote
Cheap place for a snack by the registers
UpvoteDownvote- Steph YangMarch 2, 2012Sign up for their free rewards program (there are kiosks in the store to do it) and you get free coffee at the cafe!Upvote1Downvote
Chaos on weekends. Overwhelming. What do you look at? What do you get? Good prices! Nice plants.UpvoteDownvote
samJune 10, 2012Better service and faster checkouts than Bolingbrook! $59 delivery downtown and $40 for them to pick out everything. Worth it.Upvote3Downvote
Jami in security is fantastic. Manager Mary, not so much. Neither is Harris. May you be promoted Jami - you know what great customer service is all about.UpvoteDownvote
