With that said, if you have access to a PC the program works well. I was able to design it on my PC using IE9 and they are coming to put in the kitchen next week.

It’s very sad that IKEA has decided to neglect such an important group of customers. Not everyone has the patience or resources to switch to a PC to do something like this.

Another alternative is to go to the store. If you go at an off time, the reps will do the design for you. Not optimal, but it gets the job done.

This program does not work.

There is a serious bug in the installation that does not allow the plug in to be installed in Safari. The process completes in Firefox but the program crashes too frequently.

Before you go and waste a bunch of time, know that of December 27, 2011 this program still does not function on a Mac.

I am running Lion on a MacBook Pro that was purchased in August 2011. I have the max video card, display and memory that one could buy at that time.

Yep – this is awful. You would think IKEA, of all companies, would be MAC friendly. Absolutely SO disappointed. In fact, we’re going a whole other direction. now. Bye, IKEA.

I have been struggling with the Mac version and have given up. I went to the store in Leeds today and the man told me its only works on IE on a PC.

So glad I finally read all these posts!! I have just wasted so many hours trying to get this to work on my macbook air. I am new to macbook so I thought maybe I was doing something wrong but it seems like the tool is not compatible with the Lion. ugh!!!

Whew! Thought it was just me. I’m so disappointed that I can’t master this thing. can’t even get it to download. And I agree with the post above when they say that Ikea at least owes it to customers to respond more often to these posts.
