The only bad side... stuff tends to fall apart a bit more easily than you like. I bought a small dresser and one to many pairs of jeans equals the bottom to fall off the back. I know he already out it together, but in the future, use wood glue!! It'll help it last longer. XO I drank the IKEA kool-aid and I’ll never turn back.

Facing into flatpack is the last thing I'd be recommending to a busy mother with a dissertation on the go! I am that person also - when I knew that IKEA was opening its first store in Ireland 3 weeks ago, I decided to set up my own business using skilled carpenters to assemble and deliver furniture items from IKEA. It's going really well. I'm sure there's someone local to you who can help you equally well? Hi Beth, you should definitely try and find an IKEA furniture assembly company in your area.

LOL!! No, but seriously, I LOVE that store! But I cant get out of there w/o spending way more than I had anticipated. Glad you got a bigger table! :) I’ve only been once (and I took my 2 kids by myself while 8 months pregnant) — do I need to explain why I havent been back? LOL!! No, but seriously, I LOVE that store!

I'm settling to cramming 7 people around a table meant for 6. It doesn't sound so bad but 2 of these people are adults, 2 are teenagers, and the others are in that "he's touching me" stage. Need I say more?? Thanks for replying to my post at MBC! Lisa I have resisted the IKEA temptation so far. I’m settling to cramming 7 people around a table meant for 6.
