Oh the joy

of bl**dy flatpacks.
put tv unit together and the drawers wont go in -why?-because the middle runner /support is out of line,not my fault ,drilled holes for dowels out of line!!!
So will have to go back for replacement.

So far we have had to return -

Ironing board-legs uneven woul'nt stand level .

Folding chair ,breaking after 3 days!

Toaster -could have done toast on the outside it was so hot!

To say we are a bit peed off is getting to be an understatement

It's the joy of moving house Vic

Hope it all comes together soon for you xx

[Kaz]

You need a sloping floor, Vic - sorted!

[saundra]

Things should improve for you
Bit of advice never ever buy flat pack just not worth the effort
And put a bit of cardboard under the ironing board

[TheOstrich]

Oh well, at least you won't be living off burnt toast, Vic!!

[AliasAggers]

You certainly have been unlucky, Vic.

Perhaps you need to find another place to shop.

We've had loads of Ikea flat packs and never had a problem. Joe was even putting some together on his own last Summer, having never done them before.

I agree Jo, I've had loads of stuff from Ikea and it's been perfect. Back in 1999 when a friend and I rented a flat together I bought a chest of drawers from Ikea and she bought one from Argos. I gave mine to my neighbour last year and it's still going strong - 18 years now. Anne's on the other hand was in pieces when we moved out the flat two years later.

And I still have a Billy bookcase that is in perfect condition - now 17 years old, bought when I moved into my first own flat.

I have to say if had loads of flatpacks and the problems if any have been with draws and handles
If got a lovely coffee table and nest of table in oak in the front room from Wilkinson had them a good few years
It just seems a hassle these days I'm getting old
