I was fortunate to visit IKEA Tachikawa in Japan but since we don’t have extra luggage with us, I did not buy a lot so when my husband mentioned that he will go back to Bangkok, I immediately checked IKEA online catalog.
Read: IKEA Tachikawa
I noted all the stuff that I like and sent it to my husband’s phone so he can see the pictures and names. I’ve been sending pictures and my husband said, mukhang excess baggage na ko sa dami ng pinabibili mo. Hehehe! I told him that I don't know what is available so kung ano kasya.
IKEA Bangna
July 24
Last Sunday, my husband flew to Bangkok and I suggested visiting IKEA Bangna on his first day bago pa siya maging busy sa work. He’s a submissive husband so after dropping his luggage in the hotel, off he went to IKEA. Hehehe! It was also a good decision because according to the hotel staff it is Sunday so there is no traffic.
My husband warned me, 23 kilos na daw bagahe niya so I only have 7 kilos sa aking ipabibili. So I have to say goodbye to Raskog Utility Cart because it weighs 10 kilos. The Kallax 2x2 was out of stock but even it is available, it is still heavy. The Trones Shoe/Storage Cabinet is too bulky. Waah!
According to him, the IKEA Bangna is bigger compared to IKEA Tachikawa and hindi niya kayang ikutin. He was already tired so he has no strength to look for Pruta container. So he bought 4 Drona (storage boxes) THB149 each, Gnarp (5-piece kitchen utensil set) THB119, and 2 Glis THB129 each (storage with lid).

IKEA Philippines
Few days after my husband went to IKEA, I learned that there will be an IKEA Manila soon but there was no definite place or time yet. But I’m one of those people who is excited because at least we will have another store where we can buy stuff at a very affordable price.
Some people say that IKEA products have low quality and it will not last for a very long time. Some people say that products are mass produced so marami ka rin kapareho. But I don’t mind because I like IKEA products because it offers products that are space-saver, easy to assemble, and affordable. Maybe as a customer, you can check and choose what product that is worth buying.
There are IKEA products here in the Philippines but of course, the price is either double or triple the price. I found IKEA products at a reasonable price when we went to St. James Bazaar but I only bought picture frames. Well, I hope there will be IKEA Philippines soon.

An Ikea Raskog is definitely number 1 on my list! I just wish magkaka-Ikea na talaga in Manila and it's not just a hoax
ReplyDeleteRaskog is nice for your homeschooling materials. :)
DeleteFrom what I've heard, hoax lang yata yung ikea Manila. Huhu though. Fave ng dad ko Ikea as he's such a DIY mr fix it guy. He always has a catalog at home. Haha. As for me, puro gifts palang the ones we have at home as I find the resellers too pricey.
ReplyDeleteAww, sad naman hoax na naman. Yes, pricey nga yung sa resellers.
DeleteI love Ikea products, naalala ko mummy ko when she would buy Ikea sa UK. :) Sana mag katotoo magkaroon ng Ikea dito sa pinas.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, for sure tambay ako ng IKEA. :)
DeleteI can't wait for IKEA Philippines. Aww sayang yong raskog, ang ganda :)
ReplyDeleteSayang, ayaw kasi magbayad ng excess kilos. hehehe!
DeleteSana matuloy na Ikea Philippines, I had some ikea items mostly pre ordered, I met her thru IG
ReplyDeleteDami nga resellers in IG, I'm still contemplating kung bibili din ako sa kanila. hehehe!
DeleteI've heard about Ikea Philippines as well and i'm excited about it. I'm sure it will be a big hit. Love their designs.
ReplyDeleteA lot people are excited but we're not sure yet if it is really confirmed.
DeleteOMG, I've been dreaming about the Ikea Raskog Cart for so long. That's the first thing I'm gonna buy as soon as Ikea PH opens. Haha!
ReplyDeleteThis is on my bucket list rin. hehehe!
DeleteI so love the items at ikea. But there are so pricey so i always end ul window shopping and just buying a few pens. Ehehe. I just hope with Ikea Manila, they be affordable.
ReplyDeleteSome items are affordable naman though I'm not sure with the quality since few items pa lang natry ko. :)
DeleteMakes me all the more excited about Ikea Philippines!!! I hope they also have these items as well!
ReplyDeleteI learned Ikea when I was in Dubai, naging pasyalan ko na din siya since I love their collection. Mapapagastos ka talaga kasi everything is perfect. I got my storage inspirations from them, pinapagaya ko nalang hehehe. Sabi nila hoax lang daw ang Ikea Manila pero sana totoo nga.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby said, ipagaya ko na nga lang daw because I like their storage too pero ang mahal sa reseller. :)
DeleteI'm very surprised that you asked your hubby to buy Ikea items there kasi isn't there an Ikea opening in Manila na?
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned in my post "Few days after my husband went to IKEA, I learned that there will be an IKEA Manila soon but there was no definite place or time yet."
DeleteSome people say that it is just a hoax.
The Raskog will look good inside our room! Haha Sana nga the Ikea Manila rumor is true. Dudumugin yan panigurado.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish nga e, nakakalungkot talaga at wala IKEA dito
DeleteI have heard about Ikea for a thousand times but I haven't really seen their products in actual. Siguro very durable siya kaya sikat na sikat.
ReplyDeleteTheir products are easy to assemble and inexpensive too kaya siguro sikat. :)
DeleteI just wish Ikea opens up soon here in the Philippines!
ReplyDeleteI was in Ikea (Singapore) the other weekend. Oh I love talaga their stuff :)
ReplyDeleteNice, which branch Tampines or Alexandra?
DeleteSad lang dito sa Norway nag iba na lasa ng Meatballs nila (went on the same branch 2014) mas gusto ko na meatballs and potatoes plus gravy sauce lang but nung nagpunta ko this year with veggies on the side and lumiit meatballs nila nag iba din lasa. Maganda yung Pan na nabili ko 2 sya 400 pesos lang.
ReplyDeleteAww, I will try their meatballs pa lang, I hope ok naman ang lasa. :)
DeleteFeeling ko magaaway kami ng husband ko if magka-IKEA dito :)) I am such a sucker for home stuff, kung anu-ano talaga binibili ko :))
ReplyDeletehehehe! I feel you, checking their online catalogue nga lang, parang ang dami ko ng gusto bilhin. :)
DeleteThis is our first stop when we went to Bangkok, our airBnb place is just near the area rin kasi. Sana nga totoo na yung news about Ikea Philippines and not just importers/resellers.
ReplyDeleteMedyo malayo sa hotel ni hubby so I'm not sure kung mautusan ko ulit magIKEA. hehehe!
