A.very bright store, to get round you.have to follow the arrows, seemed to walk miles, which for someone walking with a walking aid, isn't too good, it could be better designed. Other than that lots on offer, everything you need to set up or refurbish a home from a candle to a full kitchen. Only 4 stars from me because of the layout of the store.
Massive warehouse with lots of household goods. Avoid a visit on a Saturday if you want some lunch as it took 30 mins to reach the food counter but if in just for a tea, coffee or soft drink then you can bypass the queues...☕😕❗
IKEA is such a fun place to go! Cardiff’s IKEA is especially nice, it’s really big with lots of things to see! Also has 2 food places which is convenient. Staff are friendly and always willing to help! The displays are absolutely beautiful and make you want to buy everything! It’s an enjoyable experience and day out. I would recommend if you have kids.
Alright if you know what you're looking for in there.. maze is ok for a gander if you want to kill time. One beautiful dark room. Fancied the sink so took a pic of that too..
Food's a bit mental. Love the free tea tho.
£2.50 for 3 sorry looking slices of cheese and 2 slices of tomato. Do people really buy that?
It's a day trip to go to IKEA... 😁 If you plan to go plan at least 4-6 hours for browsing the levels and collecting your items + 1 hour for lunch as the queues are constantly present. It's fairly expensive, but we came across good deals and good quality products.
A very large shop and the only IKEA in Wales. The shop sells a wide variety of things for the home, including furniture, soft furnishings, bedding, storage boxes, crockery and kitchen utensils, lighting, rugs and much more.
Most of the parking is underneath the shop (very useful on a rainy day) with some disabled spaces and electrical vehicle charging spaces located near the shop entrance. There are lifts, stairs and escalators providing access to the main shopping floors.
The second floor is home to the main furniture showroom with the rest of the shop access via the first floor. If you don't want to look around the showroom, you can access the shopping area directly from the first floor (behind the stairs).
If you are looking for anything in particular, I'd recommend checking stock online before visiting. The website will tell you whether the item is in stock here, how many they have and where they are located. They also have computers available at the main furniture warehouse which you can use to search for any items you need to find. The IKEA app offers a useful'scan as you shop' which is very useful to speed up checkout at the self-service tills.
The shop includes a small restaurant and cafe (where IKEA Family members can claim a free hot drink), a small shop selling a selection of mostly Swedish food items and snacks and a children's crèche.
Great store but they need to sort the queuing system for the canteen, 22 mins is too long to wait for meatballs. And no Dime bars in the shop!
Everything for a Home, specially for home decoration
Expensive
Premium brand
Lots of parking space
Plenty of collection
Self service counters
Toilet and restaurant also available
Always good to have a look around to find stuff you don't need and to get ideas for your home plus the food is amazing £1.50 for a child's hot meal with a refillable drink and a piece of fruit
We had a rental electric car and drove to Cardiff IKEA knowing they had a charger
Bad idea!!
The whole infrastructure is not really ready for EVs.
One IKEA charger and my power lead was in a Tesla no charge for me.
I took out the AC slow charge lead and got it all set up.
I tried Apple Pay/Google Pay and four different credit/debit cards and NOTHING worked.
So, how to get home 🏡.
That's another story!!!!
