How do you get on putting flatpack furniture together...do you find it easy..or like me..a jigsaw puzzle!!!

So far,I find flatpack ok,so long as you have all the bits present,correct,and identified! a power screwdriver helps too...!

Oh Shepherd ..you are much better than i am then!!!..the pieces will never fit for me!!...i just seem to keep going round and round in circles!!!! The onlythings that i have found that arent too bad are the Ikea bookcases!!!!...they were relatively ok to put up!!

I only visited our new Ikea (Belfast,NI) for the first time 2 weeks ago-It's about 90 miles away! haven't bought any furniture from it yet,but new furniture is on my to do list since I got my new place..was just scouting it out..

We ahve one very near to us..we went only the other day...I bought a new rug..a lovely rug and very well priced.. The bedding range they have is beautiful...they have some which im particularly fond of ..it has lots of little cross stitch designs on.... The soft furnishings are good value...as is the kitchen equipment. I think if you were young and setting up house that Ikea is an excellent place to buy things first time around. My daughters have ha no en of things from there...and they still regularly buy from there.....often because the colours and styles are to their taste. The one thin that I absolutelly adore about Ikea is......the hot dogs!!!!!!

Personally to me they are harder than a jigsaw puzzle, but to my hubby, well he puts them together without even looking at the instructions half the time. It is so annoying!!!
