The best thing about IKEA is the abundance of on-trend and affordable home decor options, but a trip to a local IKEA store (there are currently three IKEA stores in Beijing, one located in Siyuanqiao, one in Xihongmen, and a latest one in Wukesong) could be off-putting because of either the distance or the hordes of customers there.
But now, with a few clicks from the comfort of your own home, you can have your new furniture and homeware delivered to your door, since IKEA.cn now offering online buying and home delivery service to 149 cities in China.
