We needed more storage only to find it’s a hair too wide even without the optional towel rack.
Cat likes it though.
You don’t know about measuring stuff and need six hours to assemble one measly cupboard?
Is this a cartoon?
6 hours with instructions where even simple things are mis-spelled? (“Fornt!”) Yeah. Flat pack is incredibly infuriating.
ikea flat pack is great. sounds like you bought cheap garbage
Spouse and I: Would be nice to have a bookshelf in the dining room.
IKEA Billy was $70, nearest store was an hour plus round trip plus bridge toll. Target was around the corner and like $40. We have several Billys, they’re great, but convenience called. All of the saved time was spent assembling. Then we got it upright and the damn thing is crooked. The only lateral support was the paperboard tacked onto the back. Dissembled it. Returned it. Bought a Billy. Zero issues.
This seems like a perfect example of a post that belongs in !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
If you think it’s only mildly infuriating, you haven’t spent 6 hours on a kitchen floor fighting with pieces of crappy plywood. ;)
This community was built with stories of homeless people getting crushed by bulldozers brought in to destroy designated homeless camps and all the awful things happening with U.S. politics in mind.
By that scale, yes, your situation is mildly infuriating.
