Good friendly helpful service and excellent range of products. You could deck out an entire house with minimum cost and minimum fuss. While there are a lot of cheap products (cheaply made) that may only be good for 'now', they do have a lot of higher quality products as well. 6 wineglasses for $8 + 1 charm bottle opener for $5 = a really inexpensive gift for a kitchen tea.

This has to be one of my favourite shopping experiences - today I went in for a look around and decided to treat myself to breakfast in the cafe - a hot breaky and bottomless coffee for under $4? You betcha!!

Approximate cost: $4

Ikea has a huge range of homewares for every room in your house. The prices are generally quite low, mainly because their specialty is flat pack, so you have to assemble them yourself. I believe the quality is questionable on some of the realllllyyy cheap items but the mid range seems to be ok and I've bought some pieces and have been satisfied. More cheap and cheerful than heirloom quality.

We wanted 2 wardrobes. It was very easy to find someone to help. They had the cupboards we wanted but no doors. The staff member ordered the doors. They sent letter when they arrived. Easy!

Approximate cost: $550.00
