IKEA Halifax

Excellent store, so glad we have one in Halifax now! It's a great experience and pretty fun to make a day of it. The furniture is nice and can fit into any home nicely. It can be a bit difficult and time consuming to put together but I don't mind having to do that for a great price of the furniture. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Definitely recommended for furnishing a first home!

I went on a weekday early morning and stopped 1st for breakfast. It was nice and the staff was friendly - some are still in training which is fine.... that is how you learn..... by experience. The store is everything I expected. Lots of great deals and loads of ideas. I will be back but not with the crowds.

My overall experience with IKEA was pretty good, but it takes a little learning curve to figure out how to shop there. The staff seemed more than happy to help, if you could find one who was available. And the first staff members you meet in the doors explain to you very well how to shop in IKEA if it’s your first time. Also the day I was there we could walk right in with no outside lineup, but inside at the restaurant there was a still a 1 hour wait just to get a seat. We decided to go to the cafeteria style food downstairs behind the cash. When we left later there was probably 200 people outside waiting to get in. And the parking was full when I arrived so I don’t know where they parked to be honest. If you’ve ever been to DisneyWorld, they park you in similar fashion. Only downsides are it’s still so new that the whole city wants to shop there so there’s not nearly enough parking. I was on a motorcycle and had to loop around the building twice (took about 30 minutes total to park) because they don’t want you taking normal parking spaces but to instead park in front of the trash compactor? I guess it makes sense for space saving, but they should’ve labeled an area as motorcycle parking to make it easier. All in all it’s a well organized store who knows how to deal with crowds for the most part, but since it’s still so new it’s going to be hectic.

Store is nice, they obviously pay attention to detail. Prices seem great as well. I’m not a fan of the whole shopping experience (I’m more of an in/out kinda shopper). Great store, just set some time aside if you actually want to take it all in.

I say 4 stars, rather than 5, because the store is so big, its a little overwhelming. To their defence, I've only been there twice and I'm not familiar to the layout, yet. Their prices are great, based on what I've purchased, the quality is great. The staff are fabulous. I haven't tried the food yet, as there is always a long line up for the restaurant. If you're looking for a quick in & out shopping trip, you wont find it at IKEA. However, you will love looking at everything.
