Hi all - and apologies for dragging up a semi-old thread!
Regarding these stores, particularly the Home Centre, is it acceptable to haggle a bit in them? I wouldn't expect it to be to the same extent as in the souqs, but would it be reasonable to at least push a bit for a discount, particularly if buying a few big items?
No you can't haggle in Homecentre.

In addition to Ikea and Home Centre, you have Homes R Us (most of the time on sale) at Ibn Battuta, Mazaya Centre and Arabian Centre, there is Pan Emirates in close proximity to Mall of the Emirates.
Home Centre always have sales on 25-75 off at present
They are online with free delivery within 4 days, I have used them recently for a couch and they were great both with delivery and customer service
