I promised to put together 6 BERTIL chairs tonight



I can't even do one completely, so far I've done 2 incompletely. The first one was kind of fun, and I obviously lost interest since I am here instead



I grew up doing this stuff. Can you cope with IKEA furniture assembly?

last thing i had to assemble from there was a lamp and i had technical difficulties

Christopher said:

oh yeah? which lamp was it and what did you have to do?

I think I'll go make some more chairs

ZombieKitten said:

one of those long standing ones.and simple right? but i some how found a way to take 20mins putting it together.all it needed was the pole/stand,and bottom plus the lights

ps)why are you putting these chairs together?

Christopher said:

because I am the slave

ZombieKitten said:

awww,crap

want a gumi-aid?

ZombieKitten said:

Christopher said:

what's that?

to help me?

scififilmnerd said:

what the master wants he usually gets

ZombieKitten said:

yeh,but i ate all the red ones

Christopher said:

wtf! I bet they dissolve in a swimming pool

I need some furniture assembly music to get me in the mood

ZombieKitten said:

they taste good! they come in chocolate flavor but i didnt feel like chocolate bandaids

Christopher said:

so are they a candy or a band-aid? you have so many weird things over there

ZombieKitten said:

gummi candies in the shapes of bandaids.

IKEA music would sound like steve windwood right about now

Christopher said:

I finished them, 6 partially built chairs (they look finished - I hope nobody sits on them!)

I've never really had a problem. In fact, I rather enjoy following directions and figuring things out.

I've picked out a bookcase from there I'm getting for my new apartment in a few weeks.

I'm having trouble getting the screws into the wood - there are small guideholes, but you need a fair bit of brute force, since it is solid birch wood, and a better screwdriver than I seem to have

which bookcase?

have you seen the new catalogue has loads of things in PINK!

See I knew you were a LEGO person

I just threw away the new catalog cause I was perusing it too much.

I can't find the bookcase I want online, but it was in the new catalog and my friend saw it in the store. It's a tall rectangular thing covered in a print in black and white of flowers. It's sooooo cute. If I like it as much as I think when I see it in person, I may get a matching CD tower.

I like lego, but I haven't played with them in years.

thanks!
my dad has been doing things like this since the early 70s, he fancies himself quite the inventor

CarrieMpls said:

I had to rush through the store today, so I completely by-passed shelving and storage. It was the first weekend after the catalogue was distributed, so imagine the crowds. Otherwise I am sure I would have gone and had a look at it, sounds different to the usual stuff.

I fucking HATE IKEA furniture I bought one piece from there, a small 6 drawer VANITY for my closet. It took TWO DAYS to put that piece of shit together & one of the shitty parts broke, so I had to go to the store to get more I will never, EVER buy another thing that needs more than the simplest assembly from there. NEVER




I feel better now

Doesn't matter.

LEGO is like riding a bike. You never forget how to do it.
