dutch Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I was just looking for the old Ikea thread and noticed it had been closed because its old outdated and become too big with old out of date nonsense. Have been to Sheffield new ikea twice so far, once in a hurry, second time had a better look around. It has been six years since I have last been to the leeds one. One thing I noticed now is that a lot of their stuff stays the same and changes little. But there was an item I got that appeared to have improved in quality despite that it kind of looked the same. Are people just lazy to design new stuff or are they afraid of something new? It does take courage to try something completely new. It felt a bit boring this time and was hoping for something more original this time around. Still had an ok coffee and may come back sometime for some items or when hungry and too tired to cook.

Cyclone Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 They keep what sells well, they're a business afterall. They also design new things, like the death star light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I went the other day - my first proper ikea experience. It felt like a large social experiment, and all I wanted to do was nip in and buy some shelves - a billy bookcase actually. It's not a place to nip in to.

Cyclone Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If you know what you want you can get to it very quickly. For bookcases you'd go in through the exit, find the item and straight back to the tills. (You'd need the item code and to use a terminal to find the correct aisle to pick it up from).

Where’s the fun in that? You are supposed to go in for a Billy bookcase and come out with a frying pan, a three foot felt snake and a Death Star light.

DerbyTup Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I must say I was impressed with the new Ikea store in Sheffield. It's large, modern, spacious, clean and easy to get around if you follow the guide. The worst thing was trying to find a space in the car park.

The Joker Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The worst thing was trying to find a space in the car park. This. I visited Ikea for the first time in my life (I lost a bet) and after driving round the car park several times, I gave up and left. So my record of 0% attendance is still intact. Sadly, my passenger (who won the bet) isn’t giving up so easily Can I use the Park & Ride opposite or not? There were a couple of empty spaces in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
