I love how great everything in Ikea looks until you take it home. Anyone else just got to the stage half way through building it that you have to take a break or you will end up chucking it I'm the bin lol |

"No I actually enjoy assembling them. And do it for people in my spare time. Must of easily doing 200+ units since the start of the summer "
I enjoy it too but not that much that I'd volunteer to do others  |

I grew up with flat packs. Just spend the whole afternoon in the overcrowded ikea, not a pleasure. Anyhow four flat packs waiting for me to be assembled tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. |

"They're grand but I do wish the instructions were a little more specific. So many times I've had to redo because I had a piece facing the wrong way/side!"
I bought a sliding wardrobe today, I'll let you know tomorrow if it slides properly. |

It’s the satisfaction you get with a flat pack starting something that needs to be finished. Some love it, others hate it. It’s when you can’t find the instructions, which by the way drives you to distraction, you start to google it looking for some help. |

That was my very first car and considering some of the pieces of crap most of my mates got after passing their tests, I think I did alright, lol. |

"Oh I really enjoy assembling it too. Very soothing...
I prefer to do it on my own than have a “helper”"
Ohh I agree helpers get in the way and take longer. |

Instructions? What do you need them for.
You're right. there's nothing worse than diagrams that were drawn in the dark and instructions that have been badly translated. |

I got a chest of drawers in Woodies a while back. After following the instructions to the letter it made a beautiful wheelbarrow. |

Swedish Erotica number 47 is my favourite movie! 
Great plot!
Great acting!
First class cinematography, although I never quite got to the end of it. |

It slides perfectly and looks great but it took me a couple of hours to screw 150 screws into 10 panels of wood. Tomorrow the curtains go up |
