One of the reasons why I like these videos is you get right to it. No lingering around with lengthy introductions. Thanks Kiva you have good videos.

Nurse here That laptop stand reminds me of a hospital bed table Lol. But it actually looks like it'd be great to use as extra workspace in a small apartment kitchen. Thank you so much for the tour, it saves me going there and emptying my wallet as usual Lol.🥰

We got a hospital bedside table from Amazon when my mom was on hospice and I use it in the office. It’s a most practical table.

I appreciate you taking the time to display prices, so many peopke miss that 😊

This store is dangerous. I may go for a couple of specific items and leave with an abundance of stuff that I absolutely do not need!😂

😂😂😂 same!

Cotton sheets, etc - note that all cotton sheets, etc have a "sizing" applied to the fabric, this washes out the first time you wash it. It is like starch and is totally not permanent, it is only to make the fabric look crisp when sold. This is also the way cotton fabric is sold (in fabric stores).

I don't find their sheets and duvet covers that soft, but they are pretty!

I love ikea, but some of the prices on their cheaply-made particle board furniture had me shaking my head! The whole point of that type of furniture, back in the day, was to combine functionality and style with an economical price. $500-$700 would only be a good deal for a SOLID wood table, for example. Not one that I have to build myself that will fall apart if I have to move houses even once. It’s weird, because some of their pieces are still a great value, but the prices of others seem almost delusional! IKEA is getting too big for its britches!

Agreed. Their prices and ingenuity with some of their pieces were what put them on the map. Now there are so many pieces that are as much as anywhere else. Some of them ridiculously overpriced…they really should remember..and stay in their lane!

I, too, live I a village. Just kidding but we're over an hours drive from a lot of stores.

I ordered a few things from IKEA online this spring during their free shipping period. I got Dajlien “valet” and at first I was surprised about how much space it took, but it doesn’t look imposing at all and it helps a lot (I don’t let the clothes pile on though). From that same collection I also have the step stool that is made for workouts, but I also use it as a step tool in my closet as I can’t reach the shelves 😭. It looks so elegant and blends right in. I hope ikea keeps making nice workout equipment bc I’ve been forever waiting for stuff like that. Again from the same collection I got the rolling cart (with the wooden legs), not for its intended purpose of storing workout tools, but to keep my cleaning tools (vacuum and vacuum parts, dusters, etc) in one place and be able to move all of them with me from room to room. Or even keep it in the room until later, if I don’t have time to finish cleaning and the good thing is that it’s not the worst eyesore. The wheels could use some improvement but overall I am happy with those pieces.

Love the blonde Kallax with the closed storage and that gold dishware. Thanks for the tour!

Great job! I thought the same about the strainer but you really highlighted all of its best features. Thx.

I love your chartreuse sweater!! Loving these finds from IKEA. I think I need the storage containers towards the end.

@diy with kb I came here to get inspiration for my son’s college dorm room.

Kivaaaaaa! OMG! I am soooo late! But I'm here now and I hope that you and Babe had a great week...and that you both have an even more wonderful weekend! Now let me go watch! 🤗💞💕🥰

Thank goodness for the algorithm. 😂Great channel I’ve really enjoyed it!

Thank you for saving me a trip ❤

The desk with the clear panel could be adapted to a light box

I bought the BAGGBODA yellow side table as a nightstand in my bedroom a few weeks ago!! It doesn't match ANYTHING but I had to have it lollll (and it's a new home so technically I can start to design around it)

How did you film your store with nobody in it? My store, which is not close, is always crowded. A pain. Thanks for the tour.

Yay, color! Although that yellow is a bit too much for me inside the house. (It's a great color for a car.) (Sorry I'm just getting around to watching this. I was working crazy hours last week. But I'm here now!)

Great video. Interesting!

PLEASE show us how to frame a cool textiled blanket. I have a really awesome one with fringe but it has a hole in the middle of it. Not sure if it's a poncho, blanket to wear, or what... but I love the native American pattern it has on it.

I was in IKEA today. I notice that the prices are a little high. I still walk out with stuff.😂

Okay, the valets? Perfect for your medium sized 🦜!😂

I can't go to the store, so I really miss the catalog!

Was there on May 8th, some items the prices were good. The items that I liked was at a high price. The restaurant no bueno they need to bring back some of the classics that were delicious 😋 Bring your own lunch Lol 😆🍴🤔🥗

Another reason to not buy IKEA dining chairs: they are usually only able to support the weight standard set in Europe, which I can’t remember right now, but I know is lower than it should be, like I think it was 200 pounds or something???

I wish I had an Ikea near me.😢 Thanks anyway Kiva.

I had a desk and dresser as a kid that was white with blue handles. The drawers were plastic. Laminate fronts. The same blue as the side table you showed. I feel IKEA has always had lots of color! People are just a little tired of the monochrome

Airfare fdrom Lisbon to New York City is $475 round trip! Kids under 2 fly free. Some of your viewers could hook you up with free place to stay. I can get you a week at a condo for $200. You can see NYC, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington DC on one trip. All are driveable. Europeans get 30 days vacation right? You could do all these cities in 3 weeks and have a week left for Texas. Airfare to Texas from east coast is around $300 round tripp. Rental car has one way drop off fees and gas plus insurance..which is your biggest expense. Start saving.

That laptop stand seems great but it's so blocky and the head doesn't seem to swivel. They have other laptop stands that look better.

Not ikea with a $500 desk 🫣😥

Love most of ikea but the frames fall apart in my hands

Kiva, do you get frustrated by the lack of some products at Pittsburgh? I’ve heard the excuse that the store is smaller and on the surface, that makes sense but then I wonder why we yinzers can choose to buy every possible variation and color of Poang chair. It’s hard to believe we want to buy Poang chairs above everything else. Do we buy Poang because we’re more obsessed with them than say, Newark? Or does ikea Pittsburgh sell more of them because they take up so much inventory space that there’s no room for any of the other furniture? It feels like a marketing fail. Like a MAJOR marketing fail. Thoughts?

Not really seeing anything I like. The high pricing is a turn off - the quality isn’t there to warrant the high price. Sorry.
