Ikea was suppose to open in Komtar, however the move was called off after it receive a lot of oppositions from the locals here. Don't know if this is true .

For penang, most things are 2x more expensive compared to KL price.

Keep sending enquiries to Ikea on when they are going to open in penang. Acually its in The Star that they made an announcement they are going to open a branch in Penang and Johor.

I send enquires about when they are opening every week . Hopefully with enough people doing it, it'll get them to reconsider again.

Ikea itself provide transportation service to outstation states. Just inquire at their customer service counter. You can ask the ikea lorry driver to install it for you as well

Most of Ikea things can be installed by yourself. All you need is a set of screwdrivers and also drill to drive screws for bigger stuff.

Otherwise most contractors in Penang can install it for you. Of course its better that you are there to supervise and read up the installation sheet as most contractors don't do that

Its Megaria too. Megaria has branches at D'Piazza and Opposite Megamall.
