Honours degree in flat pack furniture
If putting together flat pack furniture from Ikea could be conisdered a degree subject, I would now have past with a 1st and top of my class.
I successfully achieved the “2 Wardrobe frames” by myself, with only one cockup. The bed was not a single handed subject. It’s a divan, so I was expecting it to come already put together. No. It was flat packed. It was also a frame that allows you to lift up the slats at the bottom for storage, so it was extra confussing. Two hours I think it took to put it together.
My hands are sore, my knees are sore (from kneeling down), my back is sore. I now have to go back to Ikea because they didn’t deliver the mattress. That will come in the form of a rant about their somewhat useless customer service at a later stange. I will top it off with the most helpful “You could go to the local store and get one”… do you think if I had transportation for four items that are two meters long, I would have bloody gone and got it.
Right… best get going. Suspect the transport for delivering said mattress is on his way to Ikea, at dad speeds. I bet he’ll get there and will phone me and ask me where I am. Store doesn’t open until 11:30. But need to go in and wrestle the mattress off the shelf.
