Did you know that the Swedish have no word for Ergonomics, writes Kingpin in order to help me out! At least, that's all I can assume having attempted to put up some of their dratted furniture of late. I despise putting up furniture, or any form of DIY or home improvement, at the best of times and would happily pay for someone to come and do all that sort of stuff for me (all those people that didn't do very well at school need something to keep them busy, after all). Flat-pack furniture has always been a bit of a pain to construct and, dare I say it, a bit shit, full-stop, but the siren song of ‘cheap and easy’ keeps fooling me time and time again. Ikea take this to a whole new level though, even making their shop layouts an arduous conveyor belt of despair that forces you to walk through the whole bastard place, even though you only stopped by to buy a Wok and some of those meatballs they sell near the checkouts. The Swedish certainly have a word for ‘dowel’ though, seeing as all of their furniture contains at least 90,000 of them. It's all well and good for the instructions to state that you only need a hammer, some glue and a screwdriver, but they don't mention it's actually Dr. Who's sonic screwdriver that’s required - yes, the one that can bend the space-time continuum.

... many people now make a living putting together flat pack furniture.I recently purchased a 3 door wardrobe from Homebase and a firm called"screwdriver" put it all together for me. A bit pricey at £110 but worth every penny. |
