IKEA Lanzarote — Local services in Arrecife

Typical IKEA store layout. Stairs or lift up to the first floor. Collect a trolley or bag and start walking.

First visits are engaging. Subsequently it's a drag.

All the large furniture is displayed on the top floor. The route zigzags along past mostly uninspiring displays of stock, with the odd good piece here and there.

At the end is the café/restaurant if that's your thing. Much better places to go around Arrecife.

Downstairs (or lift) to the ground floor where the accessories, soft furnishings and odd bits most people end up buying.

On my last visit I bought a large number of items.

Once I had decided what I wanted, a member of staff input my order into the system and arranged delivery for two days later.

I then had to go to Customer Service to pay the €20 delivery fee separately.

One big improvement I noticed, is that with large items you pay in advance. Then go past the checkouts and scan your receipt, and your order is brought out already stacked on a trolley.

That's much better than before, when customers had to pick their own boxes, then pay.

My items were delivered on time and safely to my apartment. All the goods were complete, undamaged and relatively easy to put together.

Seems like IKEA...

Lady with glasses on cashier just start normally scream at me to use distance (i kept yellow spot distance what measured by IKEA). Indeed she i was paying another client came closer (no problem with me, but she even did not mentioned the distance). So I wander why if she so scared she scream at me when I used their distance spot and did not mentioned other client who just came closer to me??? So if you have property here and need to buy some things use different shops way to dayland (many of them there and cheaper). Normal...

Always love a visit to Arrecife IKEA! (& Lidl) It’s almost a tradition, especially if we hire a car & Pop in straight from the airport ( if an early arrival) for an update on new stuff and inspiration or to replace the boring villa stuff that they do so well. Then coffee and caaaaaake 🤣 or a great value yummy lunch ( have you seen the ham hocks ?) or saucy meat balls & salads!

Then off to do the shop at Lidl next door another favourite ( but not for long as they are two thirds of the way towards completing the NEW PLAYA BLANCA LIDL !!!🙌🙌🙌🙌 What excitement……AND they have started the preparations for a new Aldi in...
