Just Pass Me By

Don’t honk, don’t cut me off, just pass me by!

 

Can’t they make it easier

I got a new entertainment center this weekend. It was great on the showroom floor and didn’t look hard to assemble. We got it at Ikea, and brought it home to build it our selves. It weighted 99 pounds and was the black Tobo entertainment stand. It has 2 glass shelves and 2 doors.
I took everything out and put it in an order, it took me about 3 hours to get this completely together, but I also tore apart our old one which was about to fall apart. It took me quite awhile to get this one built. Almost everything I have gotten from Ikea are challenging to put together. The direction aren’t always clear and there are no stickers on the pieces, which are to be put together so sometimes it’s challenging to know what goes where. I have one of the doors stuck and haven’t figured out how to solve that problem yet, no matter how hard I tugged it didn’t move. I will have to try to figure it out with out taking it all apart of get to it. Why can’t they make it easier and label things like a, b, c and so on or 1, 2, 3 or so on just or even top, bottom, left side, middle and right side, it would help if it was marked some how and I didn’t have to try to figure out a picture which isn’t always clear.
Don’t get me wrong I am very happy with the Entertainment stand and it looks great in the Apartment. It matches the Kitchen table we got, but doesn’t exactly match the coffee table because that’s white, so I guess it really does match okay.
My husband and I looked at several Tv stands and entertainment center. We saw one we liked a little more but our Tv weighed a little to much, but we still had 2 that we really liked alot. I wish they had a couple of Peerless to look at.
We also ended up getting a CD/DVD holder that holds up to 88 DVD’s which is something we needed since I got raid of the old one.
I am happy with it, and it looks great here. It adds something very nice into the living room, that wasn’t their before. This is a nice sturdy piece.
