On June 7, 2006 one of the greatest home furnishing and accessory stores on the planet spread its wings to the Detroit, Michigan area.
Offering Americans rock bottom prices on unique Swedish home furnishing products that are made more affordable than you could possibly imagine.
You can also purchase items and shop online from any part of the country. So don't worry if there isn't an IKEA nearby, you can still enjoy all of their wonderful items by purchasing them from the comfort of your own home.
If you do have one nearby, you are in for a real treat, if you don't have one within close range then by all means fire up the RV and plan a road trip, it is well worth it!
I call it the Disney World of home furnishings and home accessories due to the fact of the vastness of the showrooms and the marketplace and with an abundance of a variety of items that truly can not really be all absorbed in just one visit. Multiple visits to the store are what's needed to gather everything that IKEA truly has to offer.
I had the first hand pleasure of being to visit and experience this store for myself.
I would like to share with you my IKEA experience and how to manage your way through the metropolis of cutting edge products that you can purchase for your own home.
Be sure to dress comfortably upon going to the store, there is a lot of walking involved, wear comfortable shoes and bring a minimal amount of extra carry- on items.
Upon first glance from the outside of the building, the IKEA store does not appear to be overwhelmingly large, that is due to the fact of the way it is set up and how they utilize every square inch of space. I call it an optical illusion. On the contrary, the store is absolutely mammoth once you step inside.

Oh I'm SO glad I found your article! My fiance and I are relocating to the Lansing area, so I'll be going to IKEA to buy some new furniture for our new home. We live in Grand Rapids right now and IKEA is more than 3 hours away, however once we live in Lansing it'll be close! I'm so excited, I'm glad I know to grab the pencil and paper and all that fun stuff - and my fiance is happy to know there will be cheap food hahaa. Thanks for the great article!

Wow...I came back to this article because I had a stroke of genius. If they're open 24/7 (I don't think you mentioned that) You could live there and sleep in the bed area, wash up inthe washrooms and basically spend only $3 a day! woo hoo. Retirement plans are coming.

Until I read your article, I had no idea that a step by step process could be a major asset at IKEA and I love your technique for shopping effectively there. Have a list, know the routine, understand how the rooms are set up at IKEA, find your items and be aware the hot dogs and cinnamon rolls are there (which may be appealing or not, depending on the day and your weight and diet). This was so informative and even encouraging, discovering that the furniture is usually easy to put together. Very well-written!
