Actually, I did. I came back (with a friend) and purchased a hanging
kitchen rack. Again, 1/3rd of what everone else was charging.

OTOH, I looked at a Captain's bed for my daughter. You know, a single
bed with under bed storage drawers? I looked closely. All
fiberboard! Jes like Levitz! Nevermind.

I will say this about that type furniture. It is good and lasts a long
time as long as you never move it after assembly.

My daughter bought one of those flat-pack WallyWorld book cases for her dorm
room. I assembled it and stood it against wall when she first moved in.

2 years later she got an off-campus apartment. Now, I'm pretty good at
packing my trailer to keep the contents safe. God knows I've done it
enough times. We loaded everything in, strapped it all down and off we
went.

I drove 3 miles to her apartment, opened the trailer, took out the
pieces of the busted up book case and put them by the dumpster. It sure
doesn't take stress much to blow those fasteners right out of the
fiber board. A few bumps and it was toast.
