I am a huge fan of Ikea as I like furniture that is affordable and has modern design appeal. In the past years, I have driven over 150 miles to Connecticut and New York to visit the Ikea stores in those states. I am very excited to finally learn that an Ikea store has opened within a 20 minute drive from my house.

Last night, Camille and I, along with his dad and brother who are visiting the States from France went to the newly opened Ikea store in Stoughton. After hearing that traffic to the Stoughton Ikea store has virtually come to a standstill in the first 2 days of its opening on November 9th, I anticipated a similar experience last night especially during the peak of Christmas shopping rush. On the contrary, my first trip to the Stoughton Ikea store was the most pleasant experience ever. There were no traffic around the store. in fact, we found a parking spot right next to the entrance. With very few customers shopping that night I was able to easily browse through the merchandise in the store. Best of all, there were absolutely no checkout lines. I went straight to the checkout counter. Overall, I really like the Stoughton store. The place is huge and the merchandise are well organized. Knowing that the store is open till 10pm and that there are very few people during the week, I am going to start shopping at Ikea after 7pm.
