Potentially life-changing
Going to IKEA is a rite of passage. First, there's that moment where you catch sight of that IKEA blue and that IKEA yellow. Then, there's the panic of whether you're going to find a parking space and that's just the beginning of it.
Once you're actually inside, you have to decide whether you want to be inspired in the showroom/distracted by the IKEA smart lights or if you want to do IKEA like a boss and head straight for the marketplace because you know exactly what you want and you even wrote down the aisle number and everything.

But, this isn't all bad news as IKEA are planning on selling some products legitimately through other websites, such as Amazon, sometime next year.
