Bought an IKEA bookcase and, heeding advice regarding weight, paid for assembly… only for a screw up resulting in the guy expecting tiny drawers and refusing the bookcase 🤦🏼‍♀️ No refund. Decided to embrace the times by ignoring experts, doing my own research on YouTube, and winging it with a mallet.

@elizabethtasker I was unable to finish assembly of our bookcase since ikea didn't include the giant wrench.

(For those desirous of explanation: I’d ordered the bookcase with a set of small drawers that go into one of the shelves. When I’d booked “assembly” via the IKEA website, they’d booked it for just the drawers and I didn’t notice. The fault… technically mine… but I was too pissed off to pay again!

The YouTube video showed a woman about my size managing this with a few clever tricks to avoid bodily lifting the finished shelf into position. I’m on it 💪🏻)
