Ever had nightmares in IKEA?

[Wozza]

Nightmares no more - well, if you have the cash.

Girl in the office going crazy about this - and now all the senior execs are getting excited too.

Hmmm...

They say they cover "the whole of Ireland, north and south" and yet don't show anything but the north on their map?

Oh well, my brother will be quite happy such a service exists cause he's managed to destroy two flatpack desks before, will pass this on to him

How's the new Dublin Ikea coming on?

I LOVE putting the stuff together, that's the best bit.

I made by own bed and it still works!

I'm sorry, but you have to be a bit of an idiot if you can't put together an Ikea flatpack. i can do it and i'm diyaphobic

It's a time/effort thing - nothing to do with ability.

I love Ikea & love living in a city with an Ikea. One week after Mr Apples popped the question we were in Bristol & I sai I'd take him out for lunch. Of course I took him to Ikea. He loved the meatballs & he even looked interested when we went to look at wardrobes.

Later that evening, after many pints of cider & a trip to Yeovil, he announced that he must be in touch with his feminine side as he enjoyed the Ikea visit:safeway2:

Of course the downside is that there is no Ikea near Fareham & I'm not driving to Croydon!

But it's the actual shopping that takes the time and effort - I'd pay someone to do that!

You didn't look at the website then? :thud:

I heard that they are bringing out a new Lesbian bed next month.
No screwing needed. Just tongue and groove.

The whole thought of going to that 2nd rate furniture store is enough to give me nightmares ..

That would be heaven, but you can't order from it, and can't even place a phone order. You have to shuffle around the store with everyone else, pile your wardrobes on a wobbly trolley, then queue to pay, and queue to give it to the delivery people, or queue to load your car.

Tell me I can do it all from the comfort of my own home, and I'll gladly build it myself. Has it changed?

(Ahem, yes, I just looked at the site, but I don't live down south...)

In my last job I used to do a fair bit of travelling, got into the habit of using the IKEA at Wednesbury, which is right by the M6, as a kind of motorway services. I dragged all of my colleagues in there for lunch, and some impromptu shopping...none ever complained.

West Sussex la la la, West Sussex la la la.

But surely the whole point of flat pack furniture is that is cheaper because you have to assemble it yourself. If you're going to add the expense of paying someone to assemble it you may as well decent, ready made furniture in the first place.
