    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 *this beautiful country).

      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
