Ikea - Schaumburg (Chicagoland), IL Reviews

What can I say about IKEA other then I LOVE IT... — I was introduced to this store by my friend who lives in Chicago.  I live in Green Bay, WI and was down for a visit.  We decided to shop in Schaumburg and she stated there was this store I had to see... Before we entered, I gazed at this huge blue and gold building and thought WOW... then Amy said this " We need to decide how long we will shop before we go in... What time do you want to leave by?"  I looked at her like she was crazy... WHAT? A time limit?... I thought she was nuts. — We went in and spent 5 hours… read full review »

The Ikea's in the Chicao area are not convienient to reach, especially when you do not own a car. However, I was determined to purchase specific furniture pieces after moving into a downtown condo. I was already familiar with all of the Billy bookcases as I had installed them in my previous home.  Knowing it was going to be an ordeal to get to Schaumburg, get everything I needed, arrange for home delivery and then get myself home, I planned ahead and went in with the list of everything I intended to purchase.  I still managed to spend 3 hours in the store and over $2k.  Others… read full review »

I visited the Schaumburg Ikea, because I've heard so many people say how wonderful it was. Someone also mentioned tbat it was one of the largest in the US, so I HAD to go. I was very disappointed. First, yes it is large, but it also isn't organized. While most stores have a consistent flow, Ikea jumps all over the place with no discernable pattern that can help you find what you're looking for. There were times I felt completely lost. Of course, the messiness could have played a factor in that. Tablecloths were thrown everywhere. Blankets were in kitchen items. And there… read full review »

Ikea has a pretty good selection of stuff for any room in your home at very affordable prices. But be warned that you do get what you pay for. I'm a 21 year old whos just kind of starting out on my own so I think its a very suitable store for someone like myself, but for people who want better quality things that will last more than just a few years, then I do not advise you to shop here.… read full review »

We recently needed some storage bookshelves for a number of things.  I was so happy with the product I found at Ikea and even more happy to get it home and put it to use!  Not only is it versatile, but it was a fantastic price for something that we needed now.  It was nice to find something that we can use now, for low cost, and good… read full review »

Definitely give yourself plenty of time to take it all in. Once your there, not only do they have so many options of everything, but they help you visualize how and where to use it ,by setting up everyroom accordinating to te item or theme. — The fact that you can get quality trendy items at an affordable cost who doesnt want that! —… read full review »
