IKEA in Arizona

Many items at IKEA are packaged differently than at your typical department store. Most items are packed flat. This allows for cheaper transport and distribution on the company's part, and you can get your packages home easily, and assemble them yourself. For instance, in the case of pillows, you'll be able to see and feel the display product, but the ones you purchase will come in smaller vacuum-packed versions that are easy to carry. And if you are buying drapes, but forgot to measure exactly how long those windows are, it doesn't matter at IKEA. All drapes are sold in one length--long! They also come with a hemming kit so you can do-it-yourself to the perfect length when you get home.

IKEA Fact: IKEA Tempe has directional signs and price tags with product information in both English and Spanish.
