    Those arrows make you walk in one direction around the entire 8 story building before it leads to the exit

    Ranulph Fiennes would find it a challenge to get out of it


    well you the one who got lost so follow the BIG RED ARROWS and you will be sorted and it leads to downstairs where you pick up the flat packs

    Nah he's just been whipped into spending so much time there that he feels it's his duty to encourage others to share in his retail misery.

    Wont be taking a trip out til maybe next week or the week after. Dont see what the big fuss is. Just looking on the website now though. An item Im after for €99 is on .co.uk for £79. Nice too see.

    Also looking at the page for the restraunt. I can see a lot of cafes going out of business in ballymun. Do you need to buy something in store to use the restraunt or can you just walk in. Local centras/spars with there overpriced sambos will see a downturn in business.

    Cooked breakfast

    Sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, hash brown, beans, and tomato for only €1.75. Add 3 items and pay only €2.25
    And enjoy a cup of tea/coffee with unlimited re-fill for only € 1!"

    Swedish Meatballs

    Try our traditional Swedish meatballs, which contain beef and pork, with cream sauce, potatoes and lingonberry sauce.
    Small (10) €3.95, regular (15) €4.95, large (20) €6.25


    Oven baked breaded haddock, chips and vegetables. Choose the breaded haddock and have a very good source of Omega 3!
    Although extra care has been made to remove all the bones from our fish, some small bones may still remain.
    €5.50

    I've not said anything about the place. I don't feel the need to defend or condemn somewhere I've no affiliation with.

    Sorry . I know you weren't comdemning the place . I just think it sucks when people say its **** when they have never been there and if it doesn't work there is 500 jobs at risk in Ballymun.
    My Girlfiend was there this morning at the opening . Three Girls were waiting at the front door since yesterday so IKEA gave each of them a €600 voucher. Thats fair play

    Well just back from there. Jesus what a shop :eek: im wrecked. It was great though. There wasnt any traffic going up to, got a car parking spot right next to the entrance, the staff were really friendly and the layout was fantastic. Ive never been to Ikea before so didnt know what to expect.

    I defy anyone to go in and out without buying something...i love it!

    Yes. Wait at least two weeks.
    Otherwise the queues alone at the tills will keep you there even longer than trying to even get there.

    needed to buy some bedside lockers today and popped over about 6.30pm and was at the till for a total of about 2 minutes. talking to the checkout girl there apparently wasnt alot of people buying things. there was loads of gawkers though :confused::confused::confused:

    all in all we got 2 bedside lockers, 18 piece delph set , 6 mugs, loo brush and some coasters for €120. thats not too shabby when the only other decent bedside locker I saw in another shop was €60 for 1, and I got out of cooking tonight by using their cafe (though their coke is ****ing shoite)

    biggest gripe about the place was how I got lost about 10 bloody times in the place, first time I ever got lost in a shop. Felt like i was in that episode of father ted :(
