New Ikea in Shenzhen

Still a construction site, but open

55m square could be a whole apartment,
ours is over 100.

Watched a lot of people that were looking at this display, interested in upgrading to this kind of kitchen

Lunch too

Everyone over here loves IKEA. They have great products, almost all of which are made in China. It is less expensive than many other choices. It is one stop shopping and a great place for young families, singles and expats, all of which Shenzhen has in abundance.

When we came we traveled 4 or more hours each direction to spend 2 or 3 hours buying things to set-up our apartment, at IKEA. Now we have an IKEA that is only a cab ride or a bus away. Bev and I got directions to the new store and visited after her dental appointment as it is in the same general area, known as the OT.

Well it is a huge IKEA, three floors with all the same crazy stuff and the same follow these yellow arrow pathway through the store, with the large warehouse area at the end just before the checkouts.

This is going to make life much easier for the new staff joining us next year. They also take local bank cards and VISA etc. The restaurant has fewer choices than some and the Swedish food area is small but still fantastic with some great choices, unattainable elsewhere.

In addition there will be next door to the IKEA an outdoors store and a home improvement store. Smaller versions of these stores are available closer to Shekou, but it is nice to have one at a one stop shopping complex.
