IKEA Gateshead

It's IKEA, what more can one say? It's a while since we've been, less cheap and cheerful than we remembered, but lots of approachable knowledgable staff on hand to offer advice and information. More classy looking furniture on offer, sadly some of our favourites are either no longer available or have been subjected to down grading in terms of being robust eg. flexible wooden garage shelving, and the lids for our 20 year old storage bins are not available as spares. New kitchen storage system, 365+ has made us rethink our current kitchen storage system though. Always worth a visit to get ideas, and or spend a pleasant couple of hours.

Very dangerous place if you don't want to spend any money! I love visiting here for inspiration and a lot of our furniture is from here as it's it sturdy and reliable and certainly holds up to 2 boisterous boys. However along with furniture their food options are a delight as well. I cannot come home without a bag of frozen meatballs nor without treating myself to a hot dog.

love IKEA, and this one is particularly good. nice restaurant with yummy food including good vegan options, although I find it weird that it's half way through the shop, unlike the Nottingham branch where it's at the entrance. I also like that it's mostly on one floor, don't have to enter via massive creepy lifts like the Coventry branch. nice and clean, stylish displays, reasonably priced products, over all great experience. makes for a fun day out.

Restaurant review - meatballs were delicious, shame we couldn't get the mash and lingonberry jam though. But the chips instead were really tasty. Great layout of restaurant, with lots of good seating options. Nice selection of puddings. Service was a little slow. Overall definitely 5/5, as the food was so good for the price!

Bad customer services poor quality China built furniture they are ruthless and hang up. Broken sofa costing over 1000s worst avoid at all cost please. They cost me £265 extra costs and messed me about returning it. They hide there email address and customer service numbers on purpose see trust pilot there reviews are all negative mostly

It was absolutely great! Varieties of furniture, household appliances and food/snacks. Free parking, accessible entrance and disabled parking. Helpful staff and loads of inspiration. I loved it

The products are very well made but are costly, no affordable range of products

Great shop, very big, plenty of choices. Also nicely built showrooms show how your room could look with ikea items in it rather than just the items.
