With the stolen MOA globe, where a lot of people thought they will dress it as a Giant IKEA Meatballs

That would have been nice, though.

IKEA Philippines is finally opening its Physical Store this coming November 25, 2021. That’s one day before the Black Friday Sale in the US. 

Ikea Philippines has been open since November 3, 2021, via their online stores. 

In our honest opinion, we didn’t like navigating through their website – too many clicks, too many options and we want to see the actual quality of the products. 

But, we still love IKEA. Our experience abroad with their store was just memorable and fun.
