Re: Perth Ikea !
Walking into Ikea was like being back in Edinburgh (or Glasgow, or Newcastle). Pretty much the same really, with prices much the same as UK (well, for the things we bought it was). I agree though, the parking is shocking. A few people suggested Freedom as an alternative but I found them to be way more expensive.

The prices arent bad, they have a sale on at the moment, so a good time to go, but it will be busy.

The one that's just opened in Adelaide is not bad..nice and quite..not like Leeds....I have had to explain to more people (Aussies) how the store works......but they don't get it at all..!!!!!! "you have to put it together"..."they don't hire trailers"..."you have to get the boxes yourself"...
We bought loads of gear for our new house....we were the only ones with trollies that had anything on them....
The hotdog bar was very busy though..

The parking is just as bad though - well it has been on the days I've been. Don't know if the Adelaideans (?) have quite got Ikea yet - think it was just full of English and Swedes.

My daughter Megan also works there on the check outs and I think its very reasonably priced.
My mates hubby is also head of logistics for Australia there so I have to say its good

Re IKEA Adelaide..
If one cannot put together some furniture items etc , do they have
people/workers who do?? obviously at a cost?

Re: Perth Ikea !
Hi, we went in the one in Melbourne as it was closing down to relocate and thought it was slightly more expensive than U.K.
