- Unusual product names, secret food recipes and unexpected closing time activities - IKEA has a long presence in Singapore, but what do we really know about the world’s largest furniture retailer?
On The Red Dot goes behind the scenes at IKEA, to take a sneak peak at what it takes to keep this furniture and lifestyle megastore running. From overnight stocking to photo shoots with cats, this is a side of IKEA you don’t know about.
Then, we’ll visit Carousell’s offices, where we discover the origins of their name, and take in some of the most unusual items listed on their app. Anyone in the market for an $8 million watch?

I'm Swedish n it's so entertaining to hear people trying to say the Swedish names. Like "Mörbylånga"......
I think that almost every swede have visit IKEA at least one time in their life 😊 It's a fun place n the restaurant is serving yummy Swedish meatballs with our "famous" lingon berry jam (lingonsylt in swedish 😉)
lol wait till you find out what langa means in our local slang
@@sevenhenson3926what does it mean?
Who else goes to IKEA just for the food? 🙋🏻♀️
Me. IKEA for me is just the food its so so good
I go there .... sometimes only for the meatballs n lingonsylten (lingon berry jam) I'm Swedish n I love my IKEA ❤️
Me too
No wonder this comes from a kid. Haha..at some point u will need it..but, not bad at least u still can contribute..start young hahaha ..which falls back to their marketing strategy.. It's a success still though..hahaha
I tried once, wont be going back for it again... sorry
Loved the wisecracking narration! I felt like I was watching a telenovela with a brilliant voice-over. :=)
My gosh, the voice over is so funny lol! Keep up the good work!
thank you so much for doing this series, i enjoy watching it alot and learn many stuffs :)
At least they acknowledged there's a strategy with the maze.
As for chicken wings... let's admit la it's hard and cumbersome for a family to cook it themselves. There's preparation and there's cleanup. Going to Ikea and going for the food is hand-in-hand convenience. Another well-worked strategy by Ikea.
The Carousell story was nice
You go Australia and you'll notice a lot of hardware and workwear shops. They do handyman stuffs themselves. Its because labour is expensive there. Buying the tools and gears you need is cheaper than paying someone to do it for you. And there will be space to keep their tools and gears because their homes are bigger on average and they usually have a garage.
This is not the case in Singapore. Most of us live in HDB which are usually too cramp to assemble big furniture and struggle to find space to keep the tools and gears.
Singaporean also like to taichi liability. If we break the furniture while assembling, it's our fault. Not the case if IKEA assemble it.
So basically you need to be a decent handyman in Australia but it's optional in Singapore.
Singapore HDBs aren't small at all
What a fun episode! More please!
I actually quite like assembling the furniture. But the drilling holes into walls is a bummer and the delivery charges are a major major turnoff.
Drilling holes in the wall is recommended for any lightweight furniture as they can tend to fall, especially if a chikd pulls on drawer, a cat jumps on and down shelves off , etc. It's not specific to IKEA.
I always enjoy listening to the funny narrator behind the scene :)
Carousel is also not just found in Singapore but I was amazed to see that carousell is also advertised in the Philippines
Fun documentary. Much appreciated to the narrator.
Holy sh!t...imagine opening those wardrobes and finding a customer. I'd be freaked out!
Great series do more of these in the future.
love love love this series! More of these please, CNA! :) So informative!
I love IKEA QATAR we used to hang out with my friends. So much fun looking around new items nice furnitures & interior designs. The Food court is cozy & delicious food. 👍🏼🥰✌🏽
I love their soft serve icecream 😁
I don’t go there anymore, bcuz I know I’ll end up with too much stuff! Fun vid. Thk u!
Absolutely right it's never ending stroll through their displays in the end enter market place and it starts with search of the item again. It's like a vicious cycle. IKEA Bengaluru 😁😄😆👌
The maze and putting the cafeteria at the top-most level are part of their marketing strategy. Hahaha
Ikea, the first thing that appear in mind for furniture and house appliances needs. Good quality and lasting items.
...n comprehensive
please part 2
Singaporeans... pampered and taking out the joy of everything...... it's really a joy to assemble these furnitures...... dont they play with Legos before? sheesh...
Delivery i can understand as most of us do not own cars as COE is super expensive...
17:20 awwww so cute lol
Now I want to go Ikea ;)
I will never go into an IKEA again, as the store is set up as a giant maze, where you have to walk through an endless set of display items in order to leave the store.
😂🤣👍I always look at map n find shortcuts… cos I think about ikea stuffs need to go from 1 place to another 😂😬👍
This is littered with so many Dad jokes around XD
The social media challenge really make more job desc for people who working there, imagine the shop is closing, I hope I can just went home straight home 😩
What will happen after the 30 yr lease at Alexandra expires? Please don't move away, Alexandra is a great size, unlike Tampines which is too big yet still very crowded and Jurong is very small and ill-equipped.
You shud have a navigation app in store it’d be easy on us.
Can you please let me know how much is the unit cost ...
Ever since I moved to my own home, IKEA has been my go-to place for home needs.
Being a smart home enthusiast, I've been obsessing with IKEA's line of Tradfri products. Even though setting up the hub can be tedious to set up, integrating it with Alexa subsequently is quite straightforward just as long as the hub detects the device.
And there's something satisfying about assembling their furniture and other things.
So to me, going to IKEA gives me that burst of ideas that I can come up with. You're made to really think out of the box and get your creative juices flowing.
My only gripe is that some products like their Symfonisk sound systems took more than a year to be available in Singapore when other countries already had a taste of those products.
HAHA billybook case, I am one of those people who brought it and put it behind my bed XD
they forgot to feature the hotdog Coke combo snack!
luckily in ikea malaysia there's arrows shown on the floor
Singlish: EEE-KIAH!!!
Video nicr
Do decathlon please.
I
Kan’t
Exit
Anywhere
😂
people who cannot assemble their own furniture should be banned from coming to ikea,
srsly, their instruction is so clear than even my 10yo kids could do it by themselves alone without help.
God help these ppl pls
ikr. paying for assembly defeats the purpose of IKEA lol
Exactly. Not to mention the satisfaction after assembling the products is priceless.
@@remyazharyyosef1811 so true!!!!!
I don't think God can help them either 😉
I am still thinking SCP-3008 😂
the ability to assemble IKEA furntiure is an intelligence test of sorts. But a low bar. CNA, can you get professional comedians?
I go IKEA only for 1 thing. The food
Try doing it on Don Don Donki 😉
Michelle is so pretty
I always pay for delivery and assembly . Save your sanity and family relationships 😂
Sometimes parts can be missing from the set and when you're forced to come back all the way back to a Ikea, the service center treats you like have made a horrendeous sin.
It was at that point I start getting less Ikea furniture, and instead look at other sellers(mostly locals) with cheaper and sturdier furniture (Ikea's billy book cases have the worst back as it's just a board).
Fun fact Ikea Singapore makes you walk the whole showroom before allowing you to go to the marketplace while Ikea Qatar allows you to go down just like that....plus the seminal rubbish Billy bookcase
omg everytime i go ikea with people, they always don't eat the lingon berry jam with the meatballs and they call me weird for loving the jam with my meatballs. I smother my meatballs with alot of jam to get that sweet and savoury taste ^^
But the only time i have to fight to get more jam is when i eat with my family, we all love the jam with meatballs.
Ikea's wood is only.....

Many bloody lowballers in Carousel. Also have many scalpers
was expecting SCP-3008
Most scandi men in the 19th century make their own furnitures. They got many pine trees.
THE BIGGEST IKEA STORE IN THE WORLD IS NOW IN THE PHILIPPINES
Most majority of Taiwanese people like their IKEA furniture delivered and assembled, like the Singaporean too ! 😅😅
“The store is now closed, please exit the building.”
I agree with the presenter, it’s just we are bad at assembling furniture. No time is nice excuse by the IKEA manager. Our D&T teachers all eat snake or we all sleeping in D&T class.
i loved this - but thought the segments with the comedians/other commenters were kinda unnecessary.
If swedish people pronounce it yee-kee-ah then it's yee-kee-ah
It is after all an acronym as they explained in the movie so the pronunciation is not that important.
/Greetings from Stockholm.
Founder is an imposter
9:21
the comedian was rly cold tbh
IKEA 宜家
Really? I guess I'm an IKEA otaku or something.
IKEA SG but jobs taken by Filipinos.
China product still the best. Good, cheap and reliable gaess
people saying Ai-kee-ah instead of ee-kay-ah
Carousell... is a place where scammer lurking to find their next victim
Use Carousell Protection and never get scammed again
wrong race can apply
why ikean employs so many phillipines foreign talents for the higher positions? while the malays, in backend lower positions
11:59 that Malay guy is a manager.
I mean it's Singapore. It's no more Malay country. it's Chinese country. It's sad, but it's true.
SG people is lazy haha
The voice over is terrible.
