An updated review from the old one - since then, the parking has sorted itself out, and I'm almost always able to get a spot nice and close to the building. IKEA's a good experience, in general. I've purchased dressers, rugs, entertainment centers, bookshelves, candles, kitchenware, enjoyed their restaurant and more in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. Especially for little kitchen things, their prices are wonderful, and their products have worked solidly for us. It's a very large venue - there's enough here to casually explore for an evening, or really much longer depending on how long you wish to take. When you're intent on seeing something in specific, though, the layout might not be too intuitive - it does wish to carry you along a set path, though there are shortcuts, which take a little perception or study to become aware of. Upstairs tend to be full layouts of rooms, kitchen/dining/bedroom/etc, whereas downstairs is more focused on individual items rather than furniture; lighting, rugs, pillows and blankets, candles, pots, pans, etc. If headed upstairs when entering the building, there's a restaurant with a vast, open self seating area, with large windows viewing out over the parking-lot and Renton itself. Coffee is free if you've got an IKEA family card - which is worth snagging, also free. Nothing is too expensive - a meatball meal combo with drink and salad included was $8.99 last I was there, although did my own thing, with meatballs, potatoes, garlic bread, and a slice of cake. It's simple, satisfying, and good. On the way out (after checkout) there's also pizza, cinnamon rolls, and ice cream, and a small grocery store of sorts with Swedish food. Actually exiting towards checkout sends you down a warehouse like path, displays along the edges of isles and in the center of the main one, where larger items you've opted to get can be found, by number and isle location. Kiosks and employees are scattered about along the way to help, too, if you've not written down the specific locations beforehand. A little secret might be the as-is section, right before the checkout, somewhat hidden off to the right, if you wanted to pick up a last chance, or maybe slightly blemished item on the cheap. Anyhow, I like the new IKEA building now that I'm used to it, very much. And will keep taking weekend trips here now and then, as an excuse to enjoy a bit of time out, even if all I'm doing is having a good lunch and buying a few candles.

Very long lines and I had to take so many turns through crowds to get to the warehouse in the back. The item I wanted was in stock this morning, down to 5 left at noon, and 1 left at 2:30 pm. Then on the shelf at 2:35, were none left when I finally arrived at the aisle and bin where they were marked. I was very disappointed because shipping on this product is $49 and I kept refreshing the page while in the long outdoor line to get in, and it was showing 1 left in stock all that time. I think there should be a better layout for the people who want to get right to the checkout area and already know what they're looking for. The next day: I ordered the item I wanted for Click and Collect and this was a lot smoother experience with less time indoors. One negative thing, is the staff member who brought out my items looked at me like I had three heads when I opened the trunk for him to start loading my items into my car for me. I saw staff doing that wearing an orange vest for the customer across the lot from me. Why did that customer get the items loaded in for them, but I did not? Did they pay extra or is it because I look like I can handle it? Also after this awkward moment, he asked me to "do him a favor" and put the cart back when I was done. He also asked the customer next to me to do the same thing. Did we just get unlucky and got the rude staff, but the person across from us got actual service? It's hard to know.

‼️ check your receipts‼️ This store itself is amazing, I like their quality, and the prices. This is why I always make sure I go there every time I visit Seattle. ‼️However, at my last visit, they charged me full price for marked down items, I noticed that the final price was quite high, but didn’t even think to check right there on the spot, thinking that I just spent that much. Upon my return to Spokane, I’ve found the issue, and the difference was over $250. I called their customer service, and they said that there is nothing they can do, and I just need to go back to the store to deal with it. 5 Hour drive one way is not that simple to just go back and deal with it at the store. 💸Moral of the story, check your receipts, and remember the prices at the checkout, as the company does not keep track and doesn’t seem to care much about that. I just can’t help but wonder how many people don’t check the receipts, and therefore get overcharged at IKEA. 5⭐️ stars would be given, if I did not have to deal with remembering the price of each item and making sure I was charged correctly and instead the store system did that for me, and the trust was there, that-was the case. 4⭐️ stars would have been given, if this issue would have been able to be resolved with a customer service over the phone. Their food was good and don’t forget that complementary cup of coffee or tea for being a member 😋. This is a nice touch to their service.

We have been IKEA shoppers for many many years. Just recently we had to opportunity to visit the new IKEA store. Now with two levels this location is a bit different than it had been before. The child area and café are vastly better. The child area is much larger. The café might not be larger but it has huge windows now so it seems bigger for sure. As far as the store is concerned it's basically the same thing you're used to. There's a pathway through the store which forces you to zig and zag past beds, storage units, bathroom stuff, home décor, candles, plants, and through a warehouse where everything is neatly packed in creative cardboard boxes. The biggest difference is that the upstairs is almost entirely dedicated to "showroom" setups of different rooms. You still zigzag through the upstairs but it's mostly for display purposes. The overall experience is much the same as the old store. The new store being new, is beautiful and well laid out. I really like the flow of the building now. I do have to say that I think it is purposely put together in such a way that forces you to spend more time in the store. This could just be my unfamiliarity with the new store, but it seems like it takes longer to get through.

Definitely a different shopping experience than where you will get anywhere else. A different taste in furniture as well. First you walk in and decide do you want to go to the show room which is upstairs or the market place on floor level. Upstairs they have rooms set up, kitchens, living rooms to show case their products. You can make selections by grabbing a small tag on the product. Once you have decided what you need, want, you can either go down stairs grab a cart and hit the market place where they sell pictures. Plants, kitchen items, anything you would want. You can also see an associate and go over items that you would want delivered and installation options. Next you go select the items that you grabbed a ticket for in the warehouse prior to going to the registers. The set up is easy, you follow the arrows on a pre selected path. They also have a restaurant upstairs and a small deli down stairs. Not bad price wise, you will be putting things together once you get home but instructions are easy. It is my strong recommendation that you do not go on the weekend. It is chaotic on a weekend.

Oh .. my First visit to an American Ikea .. the Ikea in Edmonton Alberta used to be in West Edmonton Mall n they pulled out as it was a first for them to be in a facility other then they're own brick n mortar n land .. WOW great place Ikea in Renton is .. My Fianceè lives by the Ikea warehouse n I've wondered why the closet retail is 40+ miles away .. any who .. we had fun .. we're moving in together soon so .. you can just imagine the excitement we were er are carrying ToGetHer .. lots n lots of displays allows us to get a better feel as to how or where the Ikea Brand could or would fit in with our new Love Palace .. the only drawback was the cashier line ups .. my word .. long doesn't define it although putting a positive spin on it .. I spotted what I call the grocery area n i snuck out of line picked up the people's in front of us holding our place in line I picked up Marmalade for them n thought Hmmm ill get some too plus lingenberry jam oh n Swiss Coffee beans .. .. lots of great parking helped too ..As I say .. definitely worth the Drive from Spanaway .. Great way to spend a morning TY Ikea
