Murphy's Law: Ikea




Last week we bought two Ektorp loveseats, and seven Billy bookcases in white (4 wide, 3 narrow). They were delivered 2 days ago, and after showing up two hours late, one of the bookcases was seriously damaged.

It happened in transit. I know this because we selected the bookcases, and they're set aside for delivery, but also the box had boot marks all over it.

They are supposed to come today before 1pm to bring the replacement.

Oh, and the other photo here is the coffee table I bought at Structube. I got an amazing deal on it, and it looks great with the furniture.

I will update the photos once the room is put together, and you'll be able to see the custom stuff we did to some of the bookcases.

I know you're excited about it... don't lie.

Hey, at least you weren't missing any screws or anything. I CAN'T STAND THAT.

It was all there, thankfully, although having to wait the extra day for one bookcase was killer enough.

When the guy dropped it off, and I got to see his buttcrack, it made it all ok.
