Mind you I drove 1 hour each way. With tolls, yeah we got road tolls here!

Not to be a party killer, or fun wrecker, but check your fasteners!
Fasteners be real important and stuff...

Nevermind the other crap I have from them that is perfect, this is all about the negatives!

No missing fasteners so far. And I have to say, putting that drawer unit together was one of the easiest assembly jobs I've ever done.

You would love the Ikea showroom there, it is like a maze and it takes an hour to walk from start to finish. :P

Ours is the same, I would imagine they all are. It's very easy to get lost in there especially if you don't go there often. But I'm getting the hang of it now.

There is no bed with that mattress?

The bed I have now is still in my apartment, but I plan to buy new bedroom furniture at some point. Not from Ikea, I've already picked some out but the store is located about 45 minutes away in the town where my best friend lives... so I'll have to drive over there again and decide exactly what I want and make arrangements to have it delivered. In the meantime I can sleep on the mattress on the floor once I get moved in. I do have a base for it, it's just not put together yet.

We'll move the bedroom furniture into the condo but I'm not gonna haul it up the stairs if I don't plan to keep it. The dining room won't be furnished at all for a while so I can stow it there until I decide what to do with it. We do have a couple local charities who take donations of furniture and will come pick it up so if I don't sell it I will donate it.
