Therefore, to avoid this confusion, you need to know the tips that can help you as you shop at the stores. You should firstly be aware that the top most floors are the ones with the home furnishings you are looking for. The bottom is usually for loading and payments.

While at the stores, you can get some accessories that you may need to make your shopping experience easier. This things include shopping carts, a pencil, paper tape measure and they are offered to the customers for free.

When you begin shopping, there are 3 categories of goods and the first one are the lighter accessories and these may include office supplies, pillows and frames. You just need to pick them and go to the checkout area. The second category of goods are the furniture items which you normally serve yourself.

The flat pack furniture may be shelves, chairs, desks, tables, cabinets and so many others. The third category is for the very large items like couches and the ikea stores staff will direct you and give you a printout in which you will take to a special counter where the item will be brought for you.
