flat pack furniture grr

[_angel_]

Ah, the perennial excuse of the constructively challenged.

That should be the slogan on all this sort of stuff.

'Flat Pack: It's Not For Girls.'

Sometimes boys are worse! Like my Dad who 'doesn't believe in instructions'

The company accepted the first trampline was faulty and replaced it.

I think we got stung with the bed.

Or boys if you ask me.....

My sons bed is a right turner prize. (That was another pictures only thing) Tbh I think it was the parts supplied that were faulty.

The first trampoline was also faulty.

I always start by checking for damage and counting every last screw. Also, making sure that all the holes are where they're supposed to be, which involves visualising the finished article before you've picked up a screwdriver. The last one I put together had a hole missing - but, by careful pre-planning, I was able to determine that the missing hole was non-essential and the finished article was thus a roaring success.

Instructions?

INSTRUCTIONS?!

WE MEN DON'T NEED NO STEEEEEEEKIN' INSSTRUCTIONS!

Well, we like to think we can get by without them, and if the products worked properly then, naturally, we could put them together blindfold.

It's all the fault of the makers, you see.

The makers.

Ahem, well, that's what real men would say.

What happened to written directions? What's with all these strange cartoons that bear no relation to thing you're assembling??

People who cant read buy flat pack furniture as well and besides those pictures are to make it easier to follow for people who have a problem following instructions........

only ever assembled ikea flat pack and it's a dream to put together, never had a duff one yet...

execpt when the bleeding instructions are wrong

the cd racks had no words, just pictures in a randomly ordered bunch of papers, as well as no instruction as to where the middle, fixed, cd shelf should be screwed in. hence me doing a best guess and getting it completely wrong which is why i had to deconstruct and then reconstruct and why i've got a throbbing hole in my heel.

i hate flat-pack furniture too i've decided. and i've got a deck stand coming on tuesday which is, you guessed it, flat packed *gulp*

Which Cd racks were they?

Which Cd racks were they?

Um, dunno really, big tall ones with an oak finish. She picked and paid for em, i simply nodded and was then tasked with the construction.

I hear you angel, I am at the mercy of the flat pack gods as well! i would be more than happy to pay companies for sure, I mean, they charge enough to deliver the bleeding stuff anyhow so they might as well stick around for an hour hey to put it up!! I am so clueless as well when it comes to these things that those boxes will be there forever, or until I find a man lol
