Yesterday, I got a new IKEA bookcase, as a present from my mom and her boyfriend.

It took awhile to put it together, and so far it looks pretty cool.

Man, it has a slow week so far!  ;D

this one?

How does it look?

Is it the kind that you screw in, or did you have to use a hammer and nails?  I assembled a wooden desk once, and it was torture.  The instructions were written in Englush, but I think it was like English translated from Japanese ...

"The screw here goes then nail hammers screw into left side panel of hammer"

IKEA makes good furniture.  Except for computer desks.  I'm getting my next desk from Office Depot :P

A)  It looks like this...

But bigger....

;D

B)  Hammer and nails

c)  I like it so far.

I should get some more of those, they are similar to the ones at Wal-Mart or K-Mart, probably about the same price too.  Ours came from Wal-Mart and it's filled to the brim with all kinds of books, and since Jess and Jason like to read I foresee that we might need a few more :o

Who needs instructions? I find they confuse more than help.  ;D

Ikea is cool...I need to save up some cash and make a trip there sometime!

That store is hella awesome. We bought our living room furniture from there. I love it.

What are you going to get?

My sister once had me help her put together a little clothes rack/closet thing.  Absolute torture, and I am pretty good at that stuff.

What are you going to get?



well, I eventually want to re-decorate our bedroom...so I'd like to get some things for that room.

Have you ever been to engrish.com?  I used to live in Japan.  I think one of the funniest Japanese-writing-English things I ever read was "bah! cute thing.  every time i see him i like him"

Considering dressers are in bedrooms, you'd probably be right about that.
