      Costs rose 4% and revenues decreased 2.4%.

      Hold on while I get my little violin. Oh wait, I had to sell it because to afford rent and the cost of living increases (which were a lot more than 4%)

      Thats a massive change. There goes my cheap lunch and a big reason to go there

      Recent interaction really put me off IKEA.

      We were moving so had to disassemble a Billy bookcase. Fine otherwise, but the backboard is nailed in so it broke a bit.

      So thinking with IKEA and their “green” commitments, no problem just buy a new blackboard and can still use the rest of the parts.

      But no. They don’t sell them separately.

      Reason being is that its not manufactured by IKEA. The furniture is from a third party and their green policies don’t extend to the manufacturer.

      It’s bad quality fast fashion products that no one has a house for.

      IKEA, stop blaming others.

      I think their service quality has decreased quite dramatically. There 3 instances in 2025 where I ordered items and they arrived broken, not because of the courier, but because heavier items were packed on top of them within the box. Jysk seems to be better quality recently.

      Yeah, they are too expensive and their quality has gone through the floor. Meatballs seem to be going gangbusters

      I noticed it years ago they hiked all their prices after brexit. The Irish store is managed as part of the UK stores Northeen region, and all the prices gere went up after Brexit in tandem with the UKs. Other EU countries didnt get hit by the price hike.

      Same product half the price in the rest of the EU. One of their cheapest couches went from 400 to 700 in the space of a week or so. But it was 400 in France and about the same in Spain and Netherlands. They had years where they could have removed the Ireland store from the UK region, and to reroute distribution from the UK to through France.

      Obviously because we have just the 1 store and a few satellite collect points they decided it wasn’t worth it.

      From what I hear, that tumble is mainly due to poor quality and even worse shipping.

      Bought a pax ten years ago. it was fantastic quality. we ended up selling it and it dismantled perfectly and the buyer reported it went together again solid.

      Fast forward to last year, new house and said we’d put a pax in our son’s bedroom. The chipboard was terrible quality. It ended up splitting when we affixed the sides to the base. A very noticeable deterioration in quality imo

      Have not been in years and when we go we don’t spend that much and just queue 45 mins for a cheap lunch. I get a lot of my homewares in Aldi & Lidl middle aisle. I wanted one of those trollies on wheels and planned a visit recently and boom, they had them in Aldi for 10 quid cheaper.

      I find them not all that pleasant an experience to shop in and way overhyped for what they are. They had that initial thing of people going on mad trips to IKEA because it was new and all a bit exotic. Ireland does the bandwagon jumping thing though with brands, way more so than many places – looks at Krispy Kreme – hype, hype, hype then forgotten about.

      Also IKEA Ireland is literally one store, so the swings will be hugely distorted.
