Hemnes bedside table...good overall product but putting it together could not have been worse. Holes were not properly drilled out, screws stripped out, and took a lot longer than it should have. Would not recommend unless you have hours to waste.

For one ikea is very confusing as a whole store. My dresser that i brought from here came in 3 pieces and not one was easy to put together. As for the directions for putting together the furniture, it only has pictures. If they were going to save paper (which they did NOT) they should've added words along with the pictures. Even labeling the parts would have been a huge help. Took me literally all day to complete what should've been an hour job. Please use words next time, not everyone is visual. Thank you.

I had a delivery this morning for a double wardrobe which I thought went well, then I receive another call from the delivery driver 15 minutes later stating that they may of mixed up my delivery with someone else's,so then I'm there checking through what's mine and what is the other customer order. Once the 2 men leave I receive a call 10 minutes later stating that the delivery driver is on his way and will be there in the next 10minutes with my order which I just received under 45 minutes ?? What is so difficult about double checking orders and separating them before distributing. I am not the one to complain but this was so unorganised on both occasions.

Bed frame with the drawers underneath is impossible to put together. You will be missing pieces and it will break while you are laying in it. Don't buy anything from this store you have to assemble. Also, their robes and towels fall apart after the first wash.

ok i admit that my mapskills aren' t the best but seriously, IKEA is so big and so crowded, I wanted to go to the toilets and wait until my mum found me but of course, I couldn't even find the toilets. The place was so full that it seemed like every staff member was occupied. I wandered round in circles again and again until one staff member kindly helped me.

Although I had a great review for the girl in the shop, my wardrobes were delivered and on inspection one wardrobe was completely broken, I had the wrong doors and the handles were missing! URGH! Perhaps I spoke to soon! They are planning on delivering the right doors and new wardrobe on Sunday. Not sure about the handles! Come on IKEA! Get your act together! PLEASE!

Ordered a few things from IKEA, I live in Cornwall so took a week to deliver (fine not a problem) but wasn't awear that the 35 delivery charge included damaged goods as part of the service otherwise would have avoided! I rang up to find out what could be done I was told I could wait another week and have it sent out for Free (I should hope so) when I asked if it was possible to get some kind of compensation as we have just moved house and was rather hoping to have got things sorted (not IKEAs problem I know) the guy on the phone laughed and said the product is only worth 70 quid, not taking into account our whole order was over 400 pounds worth. All in all definitely not worth the 20 minuet wait on the phone to be spoken to rudely by some obnoxious telephone operator. We all know sometime things get damaged from time to time but just an apology would of been nice. Well now that rant is over I'll resume putting the rest of our items together which thankfully are all fine! Little tip though IKEA.... Put some of your operators through some people skills training.... It could go a long way!

Finally got round to buying the bedroom furniture for our spare room. Once we decided what we wanted we made our way to a counter to order & were met by a elderly man looking busy on his computer. He took our order no problem but when it came to delivery, which is £25 he said they could deliver between 7-1pm the next day. When we asked if we could have a later date, he abruptly said that's all we have. Take it or leave it. Quite shocked that we were spending over £500 & to be faced with this attitude we just agreed & it was myself we had to sort work to fit around the ikea delivery :-/ The next day I'm up & ready at 7am for my delivery & also ready to get straight to work as soon as it was delivered. But time ticked on & by 1230 I was anxious I wasn't gonna make it at all to work so I rang to see where the delivery was to be told it was running late & it's looking like late afternoon. At this point I explained how unhappy I was & why wasn't I informed of a later delivery?? The guy on the phone did apologise & offered me a refund of £25 which was my delivery charge. The delivery did only turn up 1 hour late but I think if I hadn't of rang it would of been later or not at all. I rang back later in the day once I got home from work (I had to work later due to the later start) & was told after waiting on hold for half ahr I wouldn't be getting a refund as it's not policy. I asked the guy to go & find the 1230 phone call, listen to it & come back & tell me I'm not getting a refund when it was already offered to me. He did listen to the call while I was put on hold and said yes I would be getting my refund & it would be issued back on the card I paid with within a few days. That was 2 weeks ago & no refund has been issued so I've just sat for another half a hr on hold waiting to speak to someone to then be passed from one dept to another. Finally I have just spoke to someone who has taken my card details & has instantly refunded the £25.00. I think for any company whether they sell cheap or expensive products. Customer service should be second to none. All I can say thank god all my items arrived & most items were put together without missing parts. I don't expect a lot when buying from ikea but I do expect to be treated with respect esp when I'm putting my money into your company. I will defo be thinking again about going through this again. I really don't think it was worth the time or hassle :-/

We have had our ikea euro king size bed for 6 years now and it's time to get a new better mattress. Only thing is ikea now don't stock the mattresses in this size in store (any store!!!!) You have to order and pay delivery (£35 and I live 10 min away from store) wait time is 10 days - if it arrives on time, judging by the other reviews we will wait & see). Why can't it be ordered and delivered to store for pick up that would be much better service and less costly to customers. I will think twice before buying ikea again.
