Default Don't buy Argos beds

To restore balance to the world Clive wrote in

A friend of mine couldn't put her flat pack Argos bed together.

Significant pieces of the bed were missing and it took two weeks to
get the replacement parts. At least 10 of the holes for the various
locking bolts were drilled to the wrong depth or in the wrong
position requiring several artful dodges and bodges by me to get the
thing to fit together. How can that happen with modern manufacturing
techniques and millimeter accurate drilling jigs?

Overall an unsatisfying expereince putting the whole thing together.

I have put a number of Argos flatpacts together including beds with out
problem.I normally find a lot of the problem stem from the assembler,as the
instruction are not the best with Argos!
