follow the instructions correctly.


We have put a lot of Ikea stuff together over the years.


It just works.


Not the one item I've bought from them - a computer station in pine, ages
ago. Bits were missing from the sealed box. And to get those bits replaced
involved queuing for literally hours with all those who return stuff.
The whole experience was such I decided never to use them again.

The actual goods were fine - the customer service the very worst I've
known anywhere.

After waiting over 3 hours with no sign of being anywhere near the top of
the queue, I went into the warehouse, opened up another unit and just took
the bits I wanted and walked out. I'd have been happy to have been stopped
by security.
