Ikea (31)
I usually have bits left over 
God i hate flat packs, always something missing from them or worse blisters on ur hands trying to put the sodding things together 
I would demand my money back & the missing parts for being pissed about 
xxmissuniquexx: Bought the kids bunk beds and furniture from Ikea, all flat-packed, bunk beds sorted, got 2 the 2 chests of drawers 2day, made the 1st 1 up, took hours but I got there, got cracking on the 2nd set and just when the end was in sight I realised that 3 of the right hand side of the drawers are missing Now im left with a 6 drawer chest only half completed
To say im fuming is an understatement, feel like im gonna spontaneously combust.
Has anybody else had an experience like this with Ikea?
Had 2 partake of some liquid relaxation because of it

Bloody hate the whole IKEA experience from being herded around the store like sheep to the flatpack nightmare.
I feel your pain

you should have tried the bargain corner they have slightly damaged units (some are in very good condition ) and they are at a knock down price
if you wanted you could have got them to put the unit together for you though you would need a large van to get them to your home

I would love the clock
My sister recently got some pieces made for her sitting room, she would be soooooooooo pissed off if she saw your work now, there's no comparison. Pity I didn't know about it then

I enjoy putting flat pack furniture together.
Pity we can't get flat pack stuff that has actual wood though...the chipboard (or whatever you call it) never lasts.
Yes I've already admitted I know I'm weird!Green_Sleeves: Hey, 2.5% discount for CS users, you cant go wrong!!

I already see it as an investment just don't have the dosh
My parents bought me a beautiful chest of drawers and wardrobe when I was sixteen and I still have both
That sort of furniture lasts a lifetime. I promised myself when I moved in that I would only put up with the crap until I had saved enough to get the good stuff
Where are the pictures of your work?
Ah Greensleeves if I only I had the money 4 the handmade stuff 
There actually good quality 1s, sturdy etc and what the girls wanted 2 match their bunkbeds, its hard 2 get anything but flatpack because they have the attic room and its hard 2 get things up the stairs and into their room
I should have just left their room as it was, I only went out there 2 but some kitchen roll holders 4 my daughters bracelet collection and as was said already ended up being herded round the whole store and impulse buying the stuff, they look lovely but I just cant believe the parts are missing
And I did have a few extra screws and have the blisters and cuts that go with flat-packs.
God love the person on the desk when I arrive out 2moro with my hangover

Ah I am happy with what i got out there, the bedclothes and storage etc, even like the drawers, just disappointed over the missing parts, I wanted 2 buy half the store, the kitchens are fab, its an easy shop 2 go impulse buying in

Yeah theres something to be said for buying/having something of quality that you know will last a lifetime and can be passed onto your children, or family etc. Something that has character, age, and a special something about it that you dont get with mass produced, production line pieces. Although, I totally understand that they are the more economical choice for the modern home/living!
I'll send you on the link Lara, I think I hijacked quite enough of this thread!
