 The instructions are absolutely useless to me. I used them when screwing up trying to put together my boy's bike.

Okay, seriously IKEA furniture is not hard to put together. I've personally assembled a few items of furniture that I've purchased there, and I've assisted friends in assembling more nightstands, dressers, beds, chairs, tables, etc. than I can count. The instructions are super easy to follow.
As a side note this does remind me of a friend that called me late one night in a panic, because she was changing the locks on her doors (standard doorknob and deadbolt) and couldn't figure out what she'd done wrong. I got over to her house and the entire thing had been installed upside down (which up until then I wasn't sure was actually possible). The most interesting part about that was the way she had absolutely no clue what she'd done wrong. I don't consider myself to be particularly handy, but I thought it was pretty obvious what was wrong. Once I started taking it out there appeared to be some other issues with her installation as well, but none so glaring as the fact that everything was upside down. |

Going to IKEA for us is like a nice afternoon outing. There is always some cool and useful knick-knack to buy and it's the only place I've found here that actually believes in customer service. Plus they have cheap doughnuts.

Just the doughnuts, which are a rare find here and usually $2 a piece. IKEA sells them fresh for 50 cents. Well worth the drive.

The Cinnamon roles are quite popular around these parts...you can even buy them pre-cooked and bake them at home at your own leisure...can't beat that!

Cinnamon Rolls at the one in draper are a $1 for 4 of them. Also a plate a of swedish Meatballs is only 4.99 and i bought my daugther a PB&J with a drink for .99. Cant beat those prices.
I put the bed together that i bought from there last night (with my dads help of course) and it wasnt that bad. However i opened the dresser it came in two huge boxes and it is in at least 500 pieces. We will see how that goes I am going to attempt it on my own.
