yeah the articles goes into that. i have to get my ikea deliveries rerouted through a friend from a supported city lol. double courier charges plus annoyance for the friend. so it would be nice if i can order directly from next year. also not good coz i would end up buying a lot of shit lol.
Ikea has some good stuff like tables but mostly overpriced and okay quality stuff. Definitely not affordable compared to local if you are looking for something like bed, sofa etc.
Home centre, athome kinda places also have better quality bed and sofa than ikea.
In Hyderabad their stores have become picnic spot, you can only visit on weekdays now. Or buy online.
If you want to buy furniture for long term then local option will be better.
For other decor and home furnishing stuff you can find a lot of stuff at a single place and a lot of new ideas so that's nice.
I mean I have bought a lot of their smaller items. Their wall clocks are very good. Much better than Ajanta shit. Soap dispensers, spoons, containers are also quite nice for the price. It's just annoying to pay for double shipping or inflated price through Amazon. So very much waiting for them to arrive in Gurgaon next year and hopefully online would start sometime later this year.
i don't know what their strategy is but its attracting really bad crowd now, who do nothing expect preventing real buyers from visiting their store. People are sleeping snoring on beds, sofa, doing photoshoot for Instagram in the model areas. Lot of broken damaged stuff.
Washrooms are not maintained anymore, if malls can do it ikea should be able too.
I have visited it before because of covid measures there was not much crowd and you could actually experience the store.
Can you imagine now in model sections they had to shut the WC with tape and big warning to not use it 😆
Swedish furniture retailer IKEA on February 22 said it will close down its store in the Mumbai R City Mall by the mid of this year due to limitation of layout, design and location.
