Ikea - Schaumburg, 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 and spent about $150.00/hour... I...

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 was no one around to...

The Ikea in Schaumburg is a great place to shop. Unlike the ikea in boilingbrook you can go to the section or department of the store you want to go to. In boilingbrook you have to follow the arrows through teh entire store. I also like that it is a very large store and you can get almost anything you need there, Make sure to check out the as is department. We got 20 glasses at 7 cents each because they were out of the box. who cares! and we also found the missing items to our disses  set for one dollar it is also great to go day after new years to get great deals

I love Ikea, I really do. They have great prices on housewares, and furniture and linens. Love the kitchen section, cheap bath accessories. And the plants are awesome- very affordable large selection of unique and pretty plants.

However, the floor design sucks! It is like a maze in this store! Once you get in, you dont get out unless you walk through the entire store! Sometimes, I like to be able to go in grab want I want and just leave. You can't manage that here! It is also strange not being able to see the doors or windows.

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!

Ikea is a nice place to look for deals. The biggest issues with this store are finding the escalators down. Some of the stuff is out of place and hard to find Other than that this store is really good to get some bargain deals on household stuff,

We can spend an entire day there & the kids LOVE the ball pit play area!

Low cost furniture - cute & Modern!
