  • How can Ikea get away with this terrible concept of a prison like store where you have to walk 1km to get out? Is it just because people like their products so much that they can get away with it or do people actually like the experience?
    If so; why are there not more stores set up like this?

  • There are enough shortcuts, usually, that you only need to wander around the showroom bits if you want to

  • If my partner is anything to go by, people genuinely like the experience. I don't understand it at all.

  • I used to think this until I was forced to use IKEA in Milton Keynes. Fuck, I thought. But not only does the carpark walk you straight into the start point of the store, the shortcuts are marked on the map which take you to pretty much any point in the store or bypass everything and straight to the tills.

    Croydon you definitely have to do the full 2km. You have no hope of shortcutting that one.

  • go in the exit, straight to the warehouse.
