Due to the lack of parking, some might question whether the shop is in fact in the wrong location; the idea, according to Ikea, is that you can go in to plan your kitchen or wardrobes, and choose the bigger pieces of furniture such as sofas and tables that you want to buy, but have them delivered rather than taking them away; a model that they hope will reach more customers in a more accessible way.
