I put together another IKEA shelf tonight. I figure that I’d better get them finished while I have some time. It takes about an hour, and I watch tv while doing it.
Television is distracting.
This is wrong.
See those three cross pieces? The one on the left is supposed to be in the middle. The instructions show the piece for the middle, but tv is distracting.
I took it apart,
and put it together again…. wrong. I put it together exactly as I had the first time.
*sigh* Television is distracting.
Lauren's dad says
Shoot! I don’t even need TV to get distracted and wrong.
Brad says
IKEA should have a tv channel. Problem solved.
Jill says
Genius. Although, I’d never leave my house again.
Gretchen says
Is this the KALLAX shelf? I was going to get one but I am afraid of putting it together. Thank you for validating my fear.
Lauren says
It’s not the KALLAX, though that was what I was originally going to get. These are NORNAS. They are about twice as much but I like that they are plain wood and not laminate. Plain wood is not a problem when it gets scratched or dinged. Laminate is a pain.
Want me to come help assemble? I promise I’ll pay attentionSQUIRREL!
Deborah says
Whatever you do, don’t turn off the t.v.
Rachel says
This reminds me of the Johnny Cash song with this chorus:
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear …
Here is the entire song -- pretty hilarious
