IKEA is IKEA is IKEA. IKEA's are like any other chain box store where they are one in the same. If you've ever been in an IKEA or read one of their catalogs, then you've already been here. But, if you want to specifically come to this one you need to know that being the only IKEA in the region means this place sees a lot of traffic and that, being representative of a much larger sample than just Portland proper.

I think it's because of that, that while this massive place is overflowing with life and people and meatballs, it's kind of a hollow, enervating experience going there. I recommend making a plan in advance and keeping your head down.
