Massive queues formed as home furnishings retailer Ikea opened its doors for the first time in months in Belfast on Monday.
Samantha Fisher and her daughter Atlanta, from Groomsport, near Bangor in Co Down, queued from 8am.
They have a bedroom to furnish which has lain empty for weeks during the pandemic lockdown.
Ms Fisher said: "I wanted my dressing table.
"My room is empty because I did it up a few months ago and it is just a big space ready for it to go in.
"So that will be my husband's job tonight, to build it and put it together."
They also bought mirrors, blankets and outdoor furnishings.
People were allowed into the cavernous store in small numbers from 9am.
Extra screens have been installed to protect staff.
Wipes were available at pay points.
