I purchased the set pictured at Ikea on Monday. I started putting it together around 4pm Monday and finished around 8pm, because the top drawer I installed upside down and the system it snapped into, didn’t really snap out as easy. The instructions are terrible because they have no words, just pictures. I love picture books, but I enjoy reading the occasional deep thought instruction on how to put this thing together. My ghetto fix which you can’t see is I used some Gorilla Glue.
Side Note: Gorilla Glue is the fucking shit! It’ll hold anything to anything, it’s amazing!!
Now as far as Ikea’s return policy; I purchased some shelves that I was going to put my DVD’s on. I’m not satisfied with how they look and hold on the wall. I checked on their return policy and they say I can return or exchange on unopened items. Well, that made me mad so I called the store and let them know I wasn’t satisfied with these shelves I bought. He was nice enough to inform me that it’s up to the store’s discretion on if they’ll give me store credit or exchange them for something else. They won’t give me a full refund. So Tuesday, I’ll let you know how things go….
Oh and Monday I had to go back into Ikea 3 times cause I forgot the handles, and then the drawers for my cabinet set. Having everything separate is annoying if you don’t pay close attention.
So far Ikea’s been a big pain in the ass, but God bless their cheap prices for decent quality.

Quick Update, Ikea seems to value your satisfaction highly and as long as the merchandise isn’t physically damaged, you should be fine returning something.
