Bought an IKEA bookcase and, heeding advice regarding weight, paid for assembly… only for a screw up resulting in the guy expecting tiny drawers and refusing the bookcase 🤦🏼‍♀️ No refund.

@Bumblefish eh, I lack a drill. I just screwed hard.

@th @elizabethtasker

You need a REALLY BIG TOOL.

@elizabethtasker My heart-felt sympathy! I added doors to a kallax years ago. It was a shiny surface one, and it was so hard to get the position of the holes right! Just a hard, slippery surface that liked to crack, with some saw dust underneath. And because that wasn't bad enough I decided to add child safety locks to the doors later! They need to be positioned with sub-millimeter accuracy. It was so frustrating! But when it's done it's so satisfying. Enjoy the movie!

@elizabethtasker お疲れ様でした。 Looks good.

@Bumblefish I am actually planning to get a drill, so this is useful

@elizabethtasker just remembered this classic, meanwhile...

@Bumblefish fabulous!

@elizabethtasker I love that bookshelf we have several. Good work!

@th @elizabethtasker I believe you misread that, the big wrench is only required for disassembly, not assembly. Two to Three hours depending on degree of disassembly. Two hours if you just need to fit it in car, Three hours to fit it back in the box.
