Advantages: Bargins to be had.

Disadvantages: Large items need to be carried on a trolly.

Unlike many people I live in a town where there is an IKEA. In fact on my travels I actually pass 2 of them. Naturally this means I can stop of just for a look, to see if there are any bargins. Believe you me, when there is an IKEA sale on, some items have been dramatically reduced, so it is definitely worth visiting the sales (unfortunately, judging by the number of cars in the car parks, the rest of the country knows also).

It is best to go during the week, late afternoon after work is very good. It is virtually empty!
If you are feeling hungry, have a hot dog and drinl, all for £1.00, follow this up with one of their ice creams, only 50 p. You can then walk around without feeling the hunger.

If you do not wish to go through all the furniture side first, all the stores are designed to take you through the lot! Look for the direct entrance to the marketplace, there will be one, it's just that it isn't immediately obvious (I wonder why!.

The only slight disadvantages are when you take things back, there is always along queue (except during weekdays, late pm).

The other disadvantage are that for items in the self service side. You literally have to put it on a trolly and take it through the tills, before you get to the delivery men. I can tell you it is not easy carrying a 3 seater sofa on a trolley!

The whole place feels just about right though, it is modern, but never rediculously overpriced.
