Stick A Fork In Me Jerry

We had a look at book cases today, briefly looking at Target, before deciding to compare what Ikea had. As such, we were pretty sold on a Expedit bookcase they had in the as is section for $66, down from $99. Initially it looked like it wasn't really damaged, but we did in the end notice the damage, which just wasn't that visible. So we decided to go with the purchase. And hence also come up with the new life rule "no new furniture 'til after summer". Dealing with big furniture items in Arizona's summer - no fun at all.

It was reasonable easy to take apart, and was initially pretty easy to put back together. To a point. [smile] Then it was just painful. Though after several hours, and having the thing standing out EVERY one of it's corners, we had the thing assembled.

But by close to midnight, we were at the "stick a fork in me Jerry, I'm done!" stage. So much for trying it in different places. It was going in the lounge room, and that's where it's staying. At least for now!

We really like it, but god it turned into an ordeal! [smile]
