Some items there are ok, but if you saw the cost they pay, you'd choke. Not to mention all of the customer service issues they create.

I wish there was one closer to Hartford. Keisha- IKEA is a great store and I make a few trips a year to New Haven to see what’s new. I wish there was one closer to Hartford.

Like we need another place to buy overpriced barstools and dishware. Architecturally this doesn't even fit in with the rest of the town. Glad you like it though. I'd rather shop at Ikea and I'd even drive to New Haven to do that. With the health conscious crowd in West Hartford it seems hardly a place for high calorie, high cholesterol and overpriced cheesecake too. Elitist shopping at it's best. Enjoy!
