DIY

I had to get a shot of the 'easy to assemble' instructions. Something told me they would be ironic at some point. So it took me a few hours and an extra trip to the hardware store (where I vow to never shop again) and in the end I got;
  • one stripped alan key
  • one missing bolt (piece #2)
  • one extra bolt (#1)
  • two broken bits (#3)
  • a replacement alan key
  • replacements for bits #3, that don't fit
  • bolts to fit the replacement bits that don't fit
  • a sore hand
  • rubbish that won't fit in the bin
  • a squeaky but probably safe day bed.

I ROCK!

  1. Too Funny! We have a long love/hate relationship with easy to assemble furniture. Lots of frustration and laughs. We are positive the factory workers are having a big ole hoot at our expense! I'm proud of your perseverance.

  2. I reckon that every engaged couple should have to assemble a very large, complex Ikea item together before making their relationship permanent.
