Wednesbury’s IKEA store has been rated the fifth best in the UK, according to Google rankings.

Bedroom furniture specialists at Birmingham based business Furniture LL Design analysed the Google reviews of all 26 IKEA stores in the UK, with IKEA Birmingham based in Park Lane, Wednesbury, making it into the top five.

The store averages 4.34 stars from 24,634 reviews, and in the past 12 months it averaged 4.34 stars from 1,173 reviews.

One shopper wrote in October 2026: "Great shopping experience. Food lovely, but get there early. Restaurant gets very busy.”

With 24,634 reviews it is also the second most-reviewed IKEA in the UK, after Wembley.

Belfast was found to be the UK's best-rated IKEA at 4.43 stars and Harlow the lowest at 3.38.

The six lowest rated stores were found to be the smaller city and small stores IKEA has opened since 2022, while every one of its 20 full-size stores averages 4.2 stars or more.

A spokesperson for Furniture LL Design said: "A furniture trip is judged on more than the furniture. Shoppers will put up with a long walk round a showroom, but the reviews show that a wasted journey, a long wait or nobody to help is what turns a day out into a one-star review.

“Before you set off, check that the exact item you want is in stock at the store you're going to, as the smaller stores don't hold the full range on their shelves and some pieces can only be ordered for delivery or collection.

“If it's a wardrobe, bed frame or chest of drawers, measure the bedroom, and the doorways and stairs it has to get through, before you buy rather than after."
