IKEA today opened up a selection of their stores across England and Northern Ireland with new safety measures put in place for customers.
Furniture retailers had fallen under the government parameters of what is deemed 'essential', but had made a personal choice to push back their reopening date.
Ahead of 'non-essential' retailers opening up again in mid-June, IKEA have now made the decision to open up many of their stores - and this morning has seen an unprecedented demand.
However, a surge of customers has seen queues of up to two hours in some stores - in part due to unprecedented demand, but also as a result of IKEA's strict limit on how many individual are allowed inside at any given time.
To alleviate waits, IKEA are urging many to stay away and instead make use of their online store and delivery services.
Below you'll find a list of all of the deliver options IKEA offer. You can browse IKEA's range online.
