Follow The Directions

Today we went to IKEA to get a new bookcase and a new desk for me.  The IKEA trip was a success, except….

The bookshelf tipped over and broke. A bit.  It’s still usable!  but we’re missing a few slats and plugs.  No one got hurt, and it’s actually working out okay.  Now all I need is to get rid of my old desk to build the new one!

The lesson I learned was that IKEA’s directions are in an order for a reason, numbnuts.  Had I moved the couch to start with, we would have been fine, but noooooo I didn’t.  So I’m an idiot.  But. it’s together, it’s stable where it is, and it’ll be a great storage place.  We were able to empty both our desks into it!
