wait, people seriously hired a carpenter to build their ikea furniture?!?

and what the heck is a 'mattress inspection'?


ikea is terrible. their light fixtures are european style, meaning that it's just a bucket and a cord, and i always end up spending an hour building a mounting system for them...

their 'high end' kitchen cabinets all use these chintzy plastic thread-up/down adjusters to 'shim' the cabinets to the proper height. the same plastic adjusters that many shipping companies use for temporary product support....
