Is IKEA In Israel Really More Expensive?

Date: 2023-09-15

It's frequently claimed that the cost of home furniture at IKEA in Israel is more expensive than in many of the other 60+ countries worldwide in which the Swedish furniture giant operates.

To put that theory to the test, I put together a representative basket of home office goods including an office chair, a table, and legs, and compared the cost of the goods between IKEA Israel, IKEA US, and IKEA in Ireland.

Disclaimer: the ILS:USD and USD:EUR rates and screenshots were taken at the time of creating this video (September 14th, 1000Z). Prices are subject to change. These prices do not represent binding offers. And IKEA online prices are not guaranteed to be the same as those found in bricks and mortar locations.
