Why do people love IKEA?

IKEA sits at a price point that often isn’t available for furniture in New Zealand. The brand produces affordable yet quality pieces perfect for all stages of life. They stock a wide range of products and their products are often designed with small living in mind. More New Zealanders live in apartments these days and international brands like IKEA have lightweight, affordable furniture perfect for your first flat or small apartment.

Where to shop IKEA in New Zealand

While there is no physical IKEA store in New Zealand (yet), the global furniture supplier plans on opening its first store in Auckland next year. Until then, you can shop IKEA products at a range of import suppliers, some of which have physical stores.

Is IKEA more expensive in New Zealand?

Yes, slightly. Buying IKEA through an importer may be more expensive than buying directly from IKEA because the importer has to account for shipping and handling. With no IKEA in New Zealand, buying from an importer is still an affordable option.
