Rolling Through the Showroom: My Accessibility Experience at IKEA

I had been wanting to visit IKEA for a while to see what I could find to decorate my room with. Since I was in the area, I finally decided to check it out.

Parking and Entry

Parking was conveniently close to the door, which made getting inside simple and stress-free. Accessibility starts at the parking lot, and IKEA did a solid job of making that part of the experience smooth.

Inside the Store

The first thing I noticed was just how big and spacious IKEA is. From the wide aisles to the open layouts, moving around with my wheelchair was easy. The large elevators were also a big plus—they were easy to get inside of and made transitioning between floors effortless.

Navigating the Showroom

While the store was overall easy to navigate, there were a few tighter areas here and there, especially near shelves and decorative setups. Still, with a little extra care, it wasn’t a big problem, and I could comfortably make my way through.

Final Thoughts

Even though I didn’t end up finding anything to take home this time, my trip to IKEA was still an excellent experience. The combination of close parking, spacious aisles, and reliable elevators made it smooth and enjoyable.
