Don't know whats happened to IKEAs usually excellent quality control,
but I'm currently assembling a small mountain of IKEA stuff & have had
bits missing, dowel holes not deep enough & cam bolt holes out of line.

One positive improvement; the drawer bases now fit to the front & back
with a 'click' system rather like how laminate floor fits together -
much stronger drawer base.

That's very unusual, in my experience, unless they work in a returned
package when you pick up a kitchen order (always worth checking).

On the other hand, they have been failing to deliver a simple length of
kitchen plinth to me since December. All sorts of reasons given, apart
from today, when SWMBO stayed in all day and nothing arrived, and no
word either.

Is it still all made in Germany?
The last few IKEA kitchens I've done were, but that's a while back now.
