Ikea

Love ikea ! Their furniture won’t last but it’s cheap! You get what you pay for! And as long as you don’t move it around or move houses often then its no big deal! Cheap and affordable !!! Show rooms have great ideas! Their candles smell soooooooo good!!! And it’s so close to me! Their food is nasty but it’s so cheap so who cares haha! All in all ikea and the idea that surrounds it is awesome good store

I’m giving it 4 stars for several reason:
1. The two employees I dealt with at Returns were so friendly and helpful. I had a long winded story about why I needed to return the unopened hinges I purchased and was past the 60 day return mark. She gave me store credit which was fine by me!
2. It wasn’t busy yesterday. Even though it was the the beginning of the month and a Sunday, there was tons of parking. Thank the stars! Once I stalked people for 30 mins before I found parking, so yesterday was a win in my books.
3. The self checkout was a breeze. There wasn’t even a line because most suckers wanted help: P
The reason I’m not giving it that extra star to perfection is because of how they set up some things. I get that the layout is meant to encourage excessive spending (well played, well played) but when I’m trying to be efficient, it’s irritating. What’s more irritating is the fact the knobs and handles for the closet doors are in the kitchen section. In other words, they’re interchangeable for both rooms. But it’s annoying you have to go to the kitchen section, pick it, go put it up against the closet you want and back and forth. Why can’t they just put a batch in the kitchen section and a batch in closets? Problem solved!
Ok fine, one more reason/​excuse for why it’s not 5 stars: the people. I know you can’t fault IKEA for that but dawdly people who just stop in the middle of walking or just leave their cart in the middle of the walkway, or let their kids run around like it’s ToysRus. OMG it was irritating.

There’s something about going to Ikea and getting a $ 1 cone and perusing the store while eating it.
The prices are very good, but be sure that you’re handy with tools and reading «how to» instructions. If you’re good with that, then this is the right place for you!
I love the look of Ikea furniture. It’s simple. To me simple is elegance.
HUGE parking lot. most of it is under cover, so rain or shine, you’re good to go.

for the price Ikea is great — cant go wrong with a 99 cent breakfast
its not high class but high value and they deserves 3 stars
I love the meat balls and gravy — dont know what type of meat it really is but who cares its good

Ikea is a great place for families starting out or who have children and are looking for anything from kitchenware to living room furniture to full office supplies and everything in between!
Coincidentally, I occasionally go to IKEA for their $ 1 breakfast and free coffee from 9:30 a.m. to 10a.m. after which the coffee is not free but the breakfast is still a good deal. Nice to see them doing some Renovations in that area and I think it will be a fairly ritzy and nice place to sit for breakfast before you do a little bit of shopping.
It’s a clean environment and they have great service with everyone there wearing yellow Ikea shirts to help you out find what you need.
There’s some awesome deals on the ground level right when you’re leaving so you might want to check out those deals before you leave. They are located in the warehouse on the ground floor. leave sometime before you go because most of the good deals are in that area in the whole store!

It’s like this IKEA is identical to the one in North York. And then it’s identical to the one in Richmond. And possibly Boucherville.
Did they clone one to make the other?
Who knows. Who really cares?
Alls I know is that compressed particle board is a miracle.

Not very cheap for the quality.

I was here a couple of times.
Bought just some little stuffs for kitchen, and rugs. It feels this location has wider selection than Richmond location where I was a couple of times too, except that Asian cashier who threw away one of my small rugs at the register. Of course, other staffs are very friendly.
Loving and liking Kwiktlem!

Let’s be honest. You don’t go to IKEA for their build-​it-​yourself furniture. You go to drop off your kid (s) for some free babysitting while you indulge in their cheap food.
Coquitlam IKEA’s cafeteria had a 10 minute lineup on a Wednesday noontime. I tried the organic/​free range chicken Caesar salad and an «ethically raised» salmon wrap. Also ordered their fish (haddock) and chips and a slice of caramel cake.
The chicken was very moist, tender and tasty which was unexpected as it appears as if it was prepared hours earlier. The salmon wrap, on the other hand, was all soggy and limp as the wrap had absorbed all the moisture from the fillings. The salmon tasted rather bland too.
The fish and chips were horrible. I’m used to either cod or halibut at the local fish and chip establishments. The haddock was flavorless and texture-​less. The breading was thin, and soft rather than thick and crunchy. Fries were cold by the time I paid and got a table. The cake was okay, but did not make up for an otherwise weak dining experience.

We just tried the yogurt ice cream while shopping there as it is only a buck. What a deal! As matter of fact It is comparable to vanilla ice cream at McDonald. It also serves pizza and hot dog. Since we were going to have dinner right after, we passed the other goodies. We definitely will try in next time.

The breakfast at the cafeteria before 10:00 a.m. you can receive $ 1 breakfast which includes free coffee and refills — wow, that’s value! And the quality is surprisingly good.
My favorite is the frozen yogurt — yum! I’m a big vanilla fan, but they do offer chocolate and mixed if you prefer. And a choice of cone or a cup to top it off!

Solid 3.5, I prefer this to Richmond because of the sheer size and spaciousness. No bumping into other shoppers.
And the food section much better too, nicer seats.
Parking is well lit too.

Today my review has nothing to do with customer or quality of goods. It’s about hotdogs. Yes, hotdogs.
I just want to say I am well aware that the hot dogs at IKEA are only 75 cents. Regardless of the price you do not stick hot wieners into cold buns. I mean took them right out of the bag cold.
I enquired if they could heat the buns, they said no. I noticed they have a steaming trays they put the buns but it does not appear to get them warm or keep warm.
In the world of low budget hotdogs, IKEA is the worst. From here on in I’ll stick with Costco for my low budget hot dog needs. At least they know how to warm up a bun.
Don’t waste your money!

I would avoid the office furniture here, especially anything with many moving parts or locks. Even one is bad, but 60% of our order damaged or malfunctioning is unacceptable.
Careful when getting delivery in bulk. We ordered almost 4k in office desks and cabinets and furniture and had it delivered to our office.
Out of the 5 Gallant drawer units we ordered, 3 of them were damaged or malfunctioning. It took us a long time to assemble all these only to find they were not functioning properly due to damage.
After sales care is sending us 3 new ones obviously but the hassle and time we will never get back.

When I was a teenager and got a hold of my first Ikea catalogue, I spent a whole night planning the furnishing in my grown-​up apartment. Since then, I’ve been going to Ikeas all over Canada even when I graduated to buying my furniture in more «grown-​up» furniture stores.
The Coquitlam Ikea is close to my home and has a nice covered parking lot for those often rainy days. I just wish the check-​out had direct access to the parking similar to the Etobicoke Ikea in Ontario. Ikea still has a good selection of furniture and some of them are actually made with hardwood. Nowadays, I head directly to the Marketplace downstairs as they have a great selection of housewares (very important to me who just moved across the country.) Beyond the check-​out is their Grocery area where frozen meatballs, fish, Lingonberry, Glog, ginger snaps (the best!) and Daim chocolates are sold.
The cafeteria is my favorite part of Ikea because it offers some decent fare and oftentimes for minimal price. My favorite is the Swedish Meatballs eaten in their dining room above the parking lot overlooking Hwy 1. I can see people just come to Ikea to have coffee because it’s peaceful. The cafeteria folks just need to be quicker in cleaning-​up the general eating area.

They’re cheap. They’re fast. They’re delicious! Sometimes you just have to satisfy your craving for IKEA’s Swedish meatballs. Delicious every time.

Quick service great prices we went shopping at staples and at Ikea we found better suff cheaper. They have .5 hot dogs which you can’t beat.

Ikea in Coquitlam is the perfect place to have a quick lunch, check out the people people watching in the diner and then go to a movie across the street.
That’s what we did anyways.
But hey! there’s furniture there too! Lots of it and all perfectly designed to be assembled at home.
Take out furniture service that can’t be beat. Has never been duplicated by any other company as good as Ikea.
And the place is huge! You could take out the family for an outing instead of going to a museum. Just think of the fun you’ll have sitting and testing out all the showrooms and then picking out your perfect kitchen accessories and some cheap hot dogs after you’ve spent all your money on furniture and all you have is enough to buy a Hot dog combo for a few bucks.
Swedish marketing at its best. Toss your newly bought goodies into you’re Volvo and drive home so you can assemble them with your spouse.
Survive that! Then you can relax and enjoy.

Food is okey. Long lineups depending on the time.
Their menu changes quite frequently. Meatballs are a big hit with kids.

Who doesn’t love IKEA?
This is an easy location to get to right off the highway. On a Friday morning, it was quite busy.
As a recovering organizing containers hoarder, this is a ‘bad’ place for me, there are so many different ways to get organize for your home. I am so please that I did not buy any new containers to take home.
Follow the arrows if you want to wander around, if you already know what you want, just cut to the downstairs warehouse and grab it.
The cafeteria is great, lots of choices for vegetarians or meat eaters. Prices are insanely cheap. If you want to take them away, you have to bring in your own take out boxes as they do not have anything for you to pack the food home.
