I went to Ikea for the first time last month when I was in Seattle for a concert. This store is amazing! You can't go expecting to stop in to get something quickly and leave, as the store is set up so you have to walk through the entire thing. The furniture isn't the best there is, but for the price you really can't do any better. My favorite is the selection of lighting. I got a bedside mood lamp for only $4. Don't forget to pick up some cheap batteries while you're there, and don't forget to make sure there's plenty of room in your trunk! The only real problem is the service. I asked a staff member about locating a chair, and his answer was "eh, it's around here somewhere." But for the cheap prices, you can't expect the staff to be well-trained I suppose.
