Ikea spring sale real bargain to be had

Whirly

If it was up to me I'd never go back but unfortunately my wife and daughter love the place - although I'm pretty sure my 5-yr old real reason is the hot dogs and ice cream!

Still, when I'm next looking to spend a major amount on furniture, Ikea will now be off my list of possible vendors.

Can anyone help me with the measurements of the packaged Aspelund wardrobe! It says packaged measurements are 48x48x48. But I dont see how they can be as when built it is 190cm high and the doors and sides are all one piece!

Hoping to get it in my car but we have carseat in back so need to know if my little girl will have to pop to grandmas while we go!

Thanks for pointing this out - I was going to get this and I doubt if I'd have taken any notice of the measurments

Can't possible be right....

Just had a quick look in the catalogue and that doesn't give any details. Not even sure if it's worth ringing them I would say drop your little girl at grandma's - from past experience I've found that children and IKEA don't mix!

Ooh never thought of that! Its the Leeds one will check but have a feeling they do. Dread to think how much I will spend if I am childless for a bit!

I am the same, go in walk around feel like I have been mugged when I come from there as my purse is always empty !!

It does but the kids only get a 45 minute session. Average queuing time in my Ikea is about 30 mins so it's no good
