IKEA

The new IKEA in Ashton is proving so popular they have extra police on the streets around it to direct the traffic.

I like IKEA. Good, modern design at affordable prices- it's not just a shop it's a social revolution. 

I like to think- with Dresser and Morris and the Bauhaus people- that good design saves souls. 

If I were having to furnish a house from scratch (and what fun that would be) I'd take my shopping list to IKEA.

they have been trying for years to get one opened in Sheffield, but Sheffield Council don't appear to be very helpful... very short sighted IMO, we have to either travel to Leeds or Nottingham.. which is a pain!

Silly old Sheffield! Ashton council was able to offer IKEA a town centre site.

Up until now we've had to go to either Warrington or Leeds. This new store is practically on our doorstep.
