I am sitting typing this at a rather large glass topped desk I got from Ikea Elizabeth and was delivered here in a large truck. It took me more than a day to put it together it think. Ten hours maybe. A truly mind over matter experience. All pictures with no words. Yet somehow it works. As everything in this entire apartment is from two truckloads from Ikea a few months apart. Plan A and Plan B. If you get things individually shipping wise you suffer. If you can fill a truck you're better off. When you go so someone's house the first thing they show you is not the expensive nice thing but the thing they made themselves. From a kit no doubt. In my case every single item in this entire apartment is from IKEA. 13 items I'm counting now. A bed being one of them which has 13 thousand parts all suspended some how. So I'd be prone to show them everything. I feel like I just didn't put the stuff together but designed and and chopped down the cherry tree it came from. Planed the wood. And tell them my real furniture is in a cubical in Portland Oregon. Which is true. I have fake antiques from Vermont. Handed down generation after generation. Made with real wood. Brown not beige.
