I’ve never been in an IKEA, never been in an electric car, and never been in a pink horse-drawn carriage with another guy … yet I still watch. And that, my friends, is the power of the MacMaster. Onwards!

[@TheMacMaster]

[@mickevs]

If you can’t find the way out of a shop, how the heck are you going to build that desk? 😂

[@greg6172]

Like all flat packs it will do his head in!

[@brucesimpson8579]

So Lee is unable to find his way out of an Ikea store but he purchased a $120K Porsche Taycan EV and drives that daily. Seems to be a huge disconnect.

[@SuperLittleTyke]

14:28 I think you may have undiagnosed claustrophobia. I love walking around IKEA. I always end up buying more than I intended. This urge to leave is unusual. Most IKEA shoppers can easily browse for three hours or more. And then there's the delight of getting to the warehouse section downstairs and finding the items you've been praying for are actually in stock!

[@thisisnumber0]

Rumour has it Ikea meatballs are made from the remains of people who never found the exit.

[@TheMacMaster]

lol!!!

[@richardgelber2740]

That would be "Soylent Green, Ikea Edition"

Jane's comment "Don't panic Mr Mannering !" total class lady. I went to the Ikea in Southampton when it opened and haven't been back .

[@atedejong5620]

ikea meatballs is a mix of beef and pork, and the spices!!! love them.. they even sell precooked / frozen ones in a 1 kilogram pack for at home.

[@louthompson2108]

All Ikea's are the same apparently. It looked just like my closest ikea here in Australia. I was there one day and overheard a bloke say to his wife that they needed to find the way out because it was sapping his will to live 😂

[@nigel8499]

I think the small ones like IKEA Tenerife don't have the arrows on the floor.

[@r12004rewy]

IKEA is easy to navigate, follow the arrows and you can't go wrong if you want to take a short cut look out for the signs to by pass the various departments, I think you were a bit OTT. But the meatballs are good but not always very hot but VFM you can't go wrong.

[@EvilSie]

Ah good old IKEA. Bane of my life going there, the missus is always wanting peg boards for her crafting business. As for the meatballs, I have to say I'd much rather have them Italian (American?) style and with a rich tomato sauce and some linguine 🍝

[@KabukeeJo]

Legend says that it took The MacMaster over a week to get out of the IKEA and only survived by eating IKIEA meatballs.

Actually got a IKEA coffee table yesterday from Facebook marketplace, luckily my boyfriend built it as I'm rubbish at building things. I also have mild anxiety and honestly I would have been having a huge attack in that place.

[@pj1043]

Not all IKEA stores are not all the same. The IKEA in Australia their fish & chips & the rest of their food are great, next time I go to IKEA I will try the meatballs that you so highly recommended Lee👍🏻. Also I REALLY LOVE ABBA their music is great too😂. I have never been in an electric car or automatous car but I have been in a hybrid car which was a taxi🚕 . Love your commentary videos .😊

[@nigel8499]

The 'key' to longevity with IKEA furniture is correct assemble. Many people don't assemble correctly.

[@stuatl4955]

Lee. You "assemble" Ilea furniture, you don't :build" it.😊 The building is done primarily in sweaty, sawdusty factories throughout Asia....

You should do a video of you putting the desk together, so Geoff buys cars can go to town and do another sound remix video, like the battery problem one! Not cringey at all 😂

Good to see you prepared by emptying the back of the car before driving to IKEA, oh, hang on. Also, you know the sizes of furniture and the packaged size are on the website. Now, back to the video to see meatballs and desks.

I will forever never forget IKEA for their kids area where my 5 year old boy soiled all of their balls in the creche. My fault but it was funny.

[@ErmintrudeRissole]

Why don't people read the road? Good point, people are all to self absorbed and wanting to get in front of you until you catch them up at the next traffic lights. I remember when I loved driving, not so much nowadays, can get very confrontational.

[@ianelstub4097]

I took some friends who'd just moved into a new apartment to the one in Warrington years ago. We were there all day because they had to look at literally everything ( also took the Michael out of the Swedish names) I think it was the most tiring day off ever. If I remember correctly we did have Swedish meatballs at the end.

[@roadrunnerj]

If I went to IKEA I would never leave I like building flat packs I would provide a service I would build it for you for a reasonable price. Think I would need clones

[@SuperLittleTyke]

5:49 I share your dislike of Abba! As for IKEA, you have to avoid delivery if at all possible, because IKEA's delivery charge is exorbitant. Years ago I visited the Nottingham IKEA, but it was a round trip of 130 miles, so now I have to get items delivered, since 130 miles is too far just to collect a new mattress. It was great when I lived in Cologne, Germany because there were IKEA stores everywhere. Probably because the Germans had more disposable income in the 1970s than Brits here did.

[@macrook1961]

Don't panic Mr Mannering. Now is that name going to stick , The Macmannering.

[@hamshackleton]

I've only been to IKEA once, when their 'new' store opened here -the prices were ridiculously high, for veneered chip-board tat, just like MFI (and we know what happened to them!) - and the cafe wasn't even open! - - ABBA are kinder on the ears than any of the modern stuff, with pounding drums and a female screeching at a nearly inhaled microphone! - - - Anybody else would have put the floor protector bendy plastic thing in first - to protect the floor! (and no need to bend it so severely, either!) - - - and meat-balls - they are only sausage meat rolled into spheres, instead of a bendy tube in a (usually plastic) skin, instead of the original animal intestines! The dribble of 'gravy' looked like dirty water.

[@st200ol]

The quality of the IKEA stuff is way better than MFI was hence the reason why IKEA put MFI out of business. I’m sure there is better stuff out there but if you think IKEA is expensive wait until you see those prices. 😮

[@kevlar_1965]

[@davidk3729]

Don’t know about food at IKEA but took me an hour to find the way out. I’ve booked an airBnB near Hampton Court Palace for our wedding anniversary. I’d like to treat the wife for a meal out. Expensive area but can still eat well at reasonable price. Two mains, two soft drinks with unlimited refills and a large coffee. £4.79. Hot dogs at Costco, Sunbury on Thames. She’ll be thrilled.

Hey Lee, you need a nice estate car or tidy size hatchback for that sort of work butt. Well said on giving Jane @IKEA Sheffield that mega feedback. Many people are quick to complain about service standards in this country not that many give "world class" feedback like you just did. On behalf of everyone working public facing I thank you.

[@pauljennings8432]

The thing with Ikea is they want you to go round the entire place so you can see everything they sell, FACT. There are short cuts just go through the doors that don't say "Staff only" seriously. Also if you gotten yourself a family card you can get a mug of tea for free and save a couple of quid is worth it! A great video. PS I've come back to this to say, Lee if you find yourself buying a lot of stuff from Ikea buy yourself their tool kit box worth every penny spent. 👍

[@waynekaminski5438]

No reason to sign up with the app if you don't want to go back to the brick-and-mortar store. Doesn't seem worth the hassle and a panic attack!

Spot on Lee and good on you for maintaining your love of Porsche vehicles. When I was a young I would never have thought about buying anything but a Chevrolet when I grew up I bought Chevrolets as I got older, I got into American made cars because Chevrolets weren’t doing it for me Because of recent events, I no longer buy American cars a they’re too expensive and after you buy them. You have to deal with all the recalls. In my garage is a 2022 Nissan pathfinder and I love it. Just my thoughts.
