Ikea is a deeply organised shop so I could check online where my wanted items would be and if they were in stock. I could quickly race round the shop with my list and a big trolley. The items are well packaged and boxed so it was easy to get them into my car. I could check on the website how big the packages would be so I knew they would all fit in my car. All in all a very well thought out and smooth shopping experience. Furniture was easy to put together and is sturdy and long lasting
