I live in S10 and always use Nottingham one. Have been to Leeds one but seem to find Nottingham one more direct. Also from home I think it is a few miles shorter.

The Nottingham one is very easy to get too as it’s just off M1 junction 26. You can practically see it from the road.

better parking facilities at leeds plus loads of other shops not just ikea. always founf nottingham to be packed but could just be bad timing on my part.

If you live in Sheffield then I'd agree that the Ikea in Notts is probably closer, but I live near Barnsley and it only takes me 30 mins to get to the one at Leeds. I've never been to the one at Notts so I cant compare, but agree that Ikea at Leeds is pretty good as there is ample parking (multi storey) and it's in a retail park so there are plenty of other shops to visit while there.

I'd suggest the IKEA in Leeds - I've been there a few times and not had too much trouble parking, even at the weekend.

Although the exit to it can be missed quite easily - so keep a good look-out! The first time we visited, me and my sister went round and round the same piece of road for about half an hour, trying to work out exactly how to reach IKEA. We could see it, but just couldn't get to it! :D

No comments about women drivers, cheers! :hihi:

Strange, all my ven blinds came from IKEA, so did bloke's next door. You must have odd window sizes.

They are both about the same distance from the centre of Sheffield. So if you live in the south side, go to Nottingham, in the north side, use Leeds.

They are both easy to find.
