IKEA

Swedish DIY home furnishing giant IKEA has arrived in Chengdu, and local citizens have welcomed the mega-store with open arms. Customers lined up hours in advance to prepare for the grand opening of the store. Locals are impressed with the workmanship on IKEA goods while foreign residents are at least pleased with the prices. Many of the items, at comparable or equal quality, can certainly still be found for cheaper at other stores around the city though.
