Now come on, there's nothing better than having to browse a whole store that has nothing you're interested in and then having the pleasure of assembling yet another bookcase or cabinet that just had to be purchased.

That was me. I feel your pain.
That Cov one was 'bearable' iirc?
You missed out having a public row with your missus, due it being so obvious that you`d rather be anywhere else on the planet.

I know people who swear blind that there is a "secret way" to get out of IKEA without having to go through all the sales areas. They take great pride in, apparently, knowing this vital information and only reply in derogatory terms when I express my complete indifference to it ...
True story…. We once arrived back in Manchester quite early on a Sunday after a lovely holiday in Mallorca…. My mrs insisted we go to to ikea straight from the airport “as it’s not too far away and I won’t get another chance anytime soon” …. And like all men, I had to follow orders for a peaceful life
I assume divorce proceedings followed shortly after.
Yeah, as IKEAs go. Was basically built on top of a multistory car park and the lifts were an utter lottery. Took about an hour to get in and out waiting for lifts/stopping at every floor.

Anyone thinking of visiting IKEA? If so, I'd recommend taking some sandwiches and a flask. Maybe a sleeping bag too. We followed the signage the other day, trying to find our way to the toilet, and ended up back where we started several times before we had to ask a member of staff how to get out. I swear I saw Lord Lucan browsing in the kitchen storage area. And don't get me started on how to operate the self service drinks machines ffs. Anyway, we got what we went for eventually. Rant over.
Fully agree.
A dreadful shopping 'experience'.
Nice stuff, but best ordered online for home delivery.
Went to the Warrington one a couple of times when we last moved and needed some bits of furniture etc.
Didn't find it half bad at all and got everything we needed in one place. Might be a mindset thing, we needed plenty so I knew it was gonna take time and there was gonna be lots of browsing so I embraced it.
Would never go near the place on a weekend or bank holiday though. I'd imagine it's hellish when busy.

You know you married right when the missus isn’t all that fond of IKEA either. We go in with a plan, we stick to the plan, we get out.
The cinnamon rolls are boss, though.

And then she comes out with 40 billy bookcases.
And another half dozen cushions, to go with other two dozen cushions already in the house.
