How to assemble Ikea dresser with no stress

Step 1: Take the pieces out of the packaging and lay them out on the floor.

OMG!
OMG!


Step 2: Wonder in awe at how this stack of nonsensical planks could ever possible arrange themselves into a functioning piece of furniture

Step 3: Recruit unsuspecting lanky skate boarder with some DIY experience

Ready, set, GO!

Step 5: Return occasionally out of the kindness of your heart to fuel said skate boarder with beer and food

Step 6: Return when you are 100% sure it is complete.

Step 7: Congratulate yourself whole heartedly on a job well done. (Comfort skateboarder on loss of his Saturday, assure him it was for an excellent cause)

I've definitely been doing this wrong.

I put 3 x IKEA bookshelves together, a 'deals direct' CD cabinet and an 'Innovations' DVD cabinet this week, women are doing it for themselves! Mind you, dresser sounds slightly more complicated than shelving...

does Ikea also sell "unsuspecting lanky skate boarder with DIY experience"?

in case you don't know, this post is on the main Explore [Culture Is Good] page. Congrats!!

I wish I saw this before putting together the IKEA futon - ok....so I really didn't put it together, I left it on the floor in pieces for my sweetie!

No - but unsuspecting lanky skateboarder is now considering a career change, as result of so much interest! Thanks for reading!

Can I borrow unsuspecting lanky skate boarder? I have a few bits and pieces from Ikea to assemble. Will provide beer and curry, but not travel expenses :)

LOL

way to go girl...

poor lil me, I have learned how it works, after years of crying on frustration over all those sensless planks of wood...
it isn't that bad once you have put one or two pieces together...
but I have to admit, I had my next door neighbor help first time, learned a bit with him, and my daughter has been a keen DIY helper since she was 5 (now at 13, she has her moments of total colaboration on others of running as fast as she can from it! lol)

but I have to say, I wish I had, if not a skateboarder, at least someone who would come teach me how to use the drill...!!!

IKEA and Primark are my churches!!!
;)

If you know how to budget all your expenses then I think you really make sure that every pennies you spend is worthy. Many of us struggle in this time of recession. So I think it times to make sure that you always maintain well your checkbooks. Balancing your checkbooks must not be neglected. Because if you don't take steps to balance your checkbook, the results could be bad, and if you do, it could keep you from needing a cash advance. Also, remember that more banks are looking to sting people with overdraft fees, so they can make up for their shoddy investments. It would be almost worth a cash advance to figure out how to properly balance your checkbook.So we must be always aware of our checkbook status especially now that we are in recession and we avoid more unwanted expenses.
