Ikea - Renton

Once you've decided what you need or want, head downstairs to grab a cart and explore the marketplace, where you'll find a variety of items such as artwork, plants, kitchenware, and more. You can also speak with an associate to discuss delivery and installation options for your chosen items. Afterward, you’ll need to collect the items you marked in the warehouse before proceeding to the registers. The layout is straightforward, with arrows guiding you along a designated path. Additionally, there is a restaurant upstairs and a small deli downstairs. Prices are reasonable, but keep in mind that you'll need to assemble the items at home—though the instructions are easy to follow. I highly recommend avoiding weekends, as it tends to get quite chaotic during that time.

I visited the IKEA store in Seattle for the second time, inspired by the positive reviews my wife, who lived in Sweden, had shared with me. It did not disappoint. The layout was different from other locations, which was refreshing. I was genuinely impressed by how clean the store was and how helpful the staff were. If it weren't for the slightly longer drive, this could easily have become my go-to store.

One of the best places to indulge yourself in Swedish culture. The meatballs, the minimally designed Nordic furniture, the free pencils, the long lines, and random Knick knacks you never knew you needed. All for an accessible and humble price. I recommend coming here at least once in your life, even if you don’t buy anything.

Take your time to walk, you can stay all day here looking at everything. I love their furniture selection and you really get what you pay for. Ikea offers great food, yes, a furniture store has great food. They are known for their meatballs, but my favorite is the cured salmon. Their fountain soda has interesting flavors like lingonberry pear and they are pretty good they have bathrooms they offer free parking

This place is amazing! There are so many options to choose from that it's a bit overwhelming. The cafe is great as well. I tried their veggie balls, and they were really delicious.
