I suggest taking snap shots of the furniture's bin numbers. It makes it a lot easier to pick up and check out at the end! Also, just because they have it upstairs doesn't mean it will be in stock.
If you are buying $100 worth of home furniture you can eat for free mmm baby. (Present the receipt at checkout and they deduct the cost from your purchase.)
Park in the parkinggarage & leave your coat in the car. The store gets warm. You'll have your hands full with all the cool stuff here you won't want to carry it.
Ikea is now selling the same cinnamon buns in the restaurant that they sell downstairs in the Marketplace. That's a big plus for a buck. Coffee free for Ikea Family members.
They should just shut down the kids play area. NEVER enough staff. Kids lined up outside for 45 to get in. Really defeats the purpose of having the area to allow parents to shop.
