Where is IKEA in the UK?
IKEA is currently well-known worldwide, offering a wide range of furniture and items that are convenient and affordable.
IKEA is a Swedish brand that follows a self-service shopping model. Its stores are organized into different sections on multiple floors, offering various products ranging from large furniture like beds and cabinets to small items like spoons and dolls. Some IKEA stores are located in city centers, while others are situated further away. Currently, there are over 20 IKEA stores in the UK, varying in size. For example, the IKEA store in Coventry, where I live, is quite large, and people from the surrounding area, such as Warwick, often come here.

Please note:
If you frequently visit IKEA, I recommend getting a membership card. It's free, and you can occasionally enjoy discounts and receive small gifts.
Home delivery by IKEA is chargeable and not always immediate. It may take several days or even a week. Unless it's large furniture, it's recommended to take the items with you when you make the purchase. Additionally, items like shoe racks, desks, and wardrobes are not pre-assembled, so you'll need to assemble them yourself. While IKEA offers installation services, they come at an expensive cost.
If you're buying a bed or bedding that requires measurements, remember to measure in advance. Many student beds in the UK are single-sized, and double beds are not very large.
Before visiting, you can create a shopping list and check the availability of specific items on the official IKEA website to ensure they are in stock.
It's a good idea to bring a large bag or a small cart because the items can be quite heavy. Of course, you can also purchase IKEA bags at the store.
