Saffy   10 #3050 Posted September 28, 2017 It's an amazing store ... the thing is, these people,who are saying it's bland just doesn't any imagination as to,how you can dress it up to make it look only more stylish, but individual too.  Great store for affordable furnish.

The Joker   10 #3052 Posted September 28, 2017 Totally agree, it's a shopping experience as well as a way to shop.... . . .  So if people are not bothered about the thought of and Ikea in Sheffield and the ethos of what they have to offer then why bother commenting or belittling those who do care about the products this shop sells ?  ikea is a cult, like those othe trendy foreign tax-dodgers apple.  I just thought you’d like to know I’ve never set foot in ikea so I obviously don’t know what I’m missing  I have set foot in apple store. Not through choice though, and if I had my way I’d never do so again.  Lousy hipsters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Funky_Gibbon   42 #3053 Posted September 28, 2017 It was on the Star's website earlier. I cannot seem to find it now - either overlooked or been updated. Personally, it's not a bad thing that they are putting traffic warnings and travel advice in the public domain. I suppose people would moan if they weren't forewarned and ended up getting stuck in the chaos. Damned if you, damned if you don't  Living on Wincobank I know how bad the traffic gets around here from October onwards and that was before the IKEA opened. If idiots don't want to take sensible advice then let them sit in their traffic jams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
dutch   68 #3054 Posted September 28, 2017 Got cheap old Ikea cabinet in bathroom. Got some wooden cladding and new good looking ebay handles, varnish and it looks better than ever. Ikea stuff don't last long unless you play round with it. Having said that the kitchen taps we bought seven years ago are still mint condition.

ormester   11 #3055 Posted September 28, 2017 I hope Corbyn gets in and makes them pay more corporation tax. They are set up as a not for profit organisation based in the Netherlands.  The Ikea branding side is a small separate company and the part of the business they pay tax on.  It's a miniscule amount compared to the whole business's earnings.  moan moan moan moan corbyn wont get in  ---------- Post added 28-09-2017 at 22:50 ----------  Had a quick look today. It looks very nice. Taken tram there and x1 back to town. Parking looked full and the retail parking lott was also very full. Ikea itself could handle the crowd, couldn't get mobile signal in most of the building. Will go and have another look when got some more time. Think it be easier to park at retail when driving, just make sure to get out in three hours.  theres free wifi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Their teddy bears are good (my daughter has one 12 years old, still loved) hot dogs too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
