TaskRabbit is great for this if you live remotely near an IKEA. You can have the Rabbit act as a personal shopper, which gives you access to a much greater set of the catalog (many things aren't available online) while eliminating — in my opinion — the most painful part of the experience. As a bonus, you can often also pay them to assemble it.
