## ShipRadar verdict

The step most people skip. Open it after an AI app gives you a look you like and before you order anything, because the measurements here hold up. It's a store's sales tool, so expect only their stock.

- Best for: Checking that a sofa, bed or shelving unit fits before you buy it.
- Not great for: Trying looks with furniture from other stores. It only places IKEA's catalog.
- Watch out: Room capture only works in the IKEA app; the website is for designing afterward. The empty-room Full Room Scan needs a phone or tablet with LiDAR, such as an iPhone Pro; other phones take a wide-angle photo instead.
- Consider instead: https://shipradarai.com/tool/homestyler, https://shipradarai.com/tool/reimaginehome
