IKEA New Zealand is a furniture store at 10 Clemow Drive in Mount Cook, Wellington, part of the Swedish chain known for flat-pack, self-assembly design. It holds a 3.9-star Google rating, and its range can be browsed at ikea.com/nz.
Furniture stores of the flat-pack kind reward a little preparation. Measure the room, then the doorways, hallways and any stairs or lifts between kerb and bedroom, because a piece that suits the floor plan can still fail at the front door. Showroom room settings earn their keep too: scale, finish and drawer action all read differently in person than on a screen. And leave honest time for assembly — self-build furniture rarely goes together as quickly as the picture suggests, and a second pair of hands helps with anything wardrobe-sized.
Handy to central Wellington, it puts self-assembly furnishing within easy reach of the city's apartment dwellers and villa owners alike.
