ikea rant



grumble grumble

one question for you:

HOW ON EARTH IS IKEA SO POPULAR WHEN IT TAKES 5+ HOURS TO PUT THEIR FURNITURE TOGETHER?

Did I mention that their instructions are PURELY PICTORIAL? what?

Did I also mention that they never tell you that you have to assemble it yourself and that it will take 5 hours???

[Nevermind that, through basic logic, one could deduce that if a large chest of drawers comes in a small package, there will be some assemblage required.]

BUT STILL

they really should tell you that it will take five hours

FIVE HOURS of time that should have been spent eating, sleeping, and planning (in that order).

Oh and what's the worst thing that could happen after five hours of assemblage?

What's that, you say? THE DRAWERS NOT FITTING IN?

yeah I could only imagine. . . until it actually HAPPENED JUST NOW. so funny.

ha ha ha....


Dear ikea, dear dear ikea.

I don't care if everyone likes your meatballs. I don't think I'm ever going to buy anything from you again. Unless I'm really bored.

Or unless I have a sudden urge to eat european chocolate.

Cordially,
Callused-hand L

  1. but if it was already assembled, you may have spent five hours trying to find a friend with a truck to haul it home..

  2. Oh, horror, especially considering you only have ONE DAY to play given your crazy schedule! So sorry! Did you ever get the dressers to fit? I hate it when there aren't good instructions and I agree, IKEA is not very good at them!

  3. Bummer you IKEA adventure was not more pleasant! Did you buy the wrong drawers?? Was there not a *slight* sense of accomplishment when you finished?? Maybe you need a new CD of music entitled "5 Hours of IKEA furniture-building bliss" to get you through.
