It took almost 2 hours to build the couch. Fuckin IKEA man. Dryer man’s said he’d be here by 2:15, but I believe those of you also in Victoria, the ACT or NSW may notice it is currently not that. I can’t go until he delivers, and I have a rowdy parcel man to satisfy
It sucks, but! it’s a valuable life lesson and learning experience so try and take it in your stride! I’ll send you an Uber Eats voucher if you DM you email addy so you can get some free food as a reward.
The whole moving process truly sucks (I’ve moved 7 times in the past decade alone and started that decade with owning nothing in the beautiful country).
Aw thanks indi, that’s very kind! Honestly though I was so exhausted I ended up just going straight to bed for a few hours after getting back. Had some pastizzis and bulla ice cream. Life’s good
I love assembling furniture. It’s a nice little problem solving exercise and satisfying when done.
Mate next time I’m just gonna drop it around to yours and let you deal with it 😅
A big part of IKEA’s business model is people undervaluing their own time. Their furniture is cheap, but that’s because there’s no cost for the labour to putit together.
I get for some people they have no choice and need to go with what’s most accessible, but that’s why I try avoid IKEA
Look I don’t super mind it. Most furniture is all flat pack now, and if it saves a few bob it might be worth it. I’m a bit disappointed though, it’s not the most comfy

All things considered, building a couch in two hours is pretty good.
