Ikea Opens NYC Store for Urbanites Who Won’t Assemble Furniture
- Swedish furniture store opens design studio on Upper East Side
- Shoppers can plan out a room, then order items for delivery
There are no Swedish meatballs at Ikea’s first store in Manhattan.
Also absent from the quintessential Ikea experience are checkout counters, pallets of votive candles and the end-of-the-maze warehouse experience where shoppers load their purchases into their carts. In fact, there’s nothing to take home at all.
